Strong and stable roofing is crucial to the integrity of a home. However, if homeowners neglect to clean their gutters, that oversight can lead to major structural damage to roofing and other areas of the home. Walter St Clair Roofing, a family-owned and operated roofing contractor in Cincinnati, employs the area's top experts on roofing and other housing fixtures, including box gutters, siding, and chimney care. 

Here the roofing contractors explain why keeping your gutters clean is one of the most important household chores:

• Clean Gutters Keep Pests Out: When leaves, dirt, and debris fill your gutters, vermin see a warm nook to build a nest, making your home vulnerable to termites, mice, birds, and bugs. Walter St Clair Roofing encourages homeowners to keep their box gutters free from these materials with regular cleanings.
• Clean Gutters Prevent Leaks: Water overflows caused by clogged gutters can result in a basement or roof leak. Proper gutter maintenance will help prevent these issues, but if you need roof repair, the experts at Walter St Clair Roofing will provide immediate assistance.
• Clean Gutters Protect Siding: Clogged gutters allow dirty rainwater to flow over siding, causing unpleasant stains and increasing the likelihood of rot. Walter St Clair Roofing will help repair damaged siding and box gutters.

In addition to installing and repairing box gutters, Walter St Clair Roofing also offers chimney care, historical restoration services, and siding installation. They’ve been in the business since 1923, so customers can trust their expertise. To learn more about box gutters, gutter repair, and roofing, call (513) 641-3265 or visit their website.
