Tip #1: Spring Clean Your Gutters & Downspouts
Once winter is over, it’s important to clean your gutters and downspouts so they are ready for spring rain. You have options when it comes to cleaning your gutters and downspouts for spring: DIY or hire the pros.
DIY Gutter Cleaning
If you are willing to devote the time and energy, cleaning your own gutters is possible. To start, you’ll need the following materials:
- Protective gear (goggles, gloves, mask)
- Ladder
- Bucket
- Scraper
- Hose with spray nozzle
To clean your gutters, follow these steps:
- Climb up on the ladder and carefully inspect your gutters and downspouts for any debris or clogs.
- Use the scraper to remove any large debris from the gutter.
- Hose down the gutter to flush out smaller debris and dirt.
Repeat these steps for each section of gutter on your house.
Hiring a Pro for Gutter Cleaning
If you don’t feel comfortable cleaning your own gutters, or if you don’t have the time, hiring a professional gutter cleaner is a good option. They will have the experience and tools necessary to get the job done quickly and safely. At Peak Performance Gutter Protection, we have helped thousands of homeowners in Raleigh and surrounding communities spring clean their gutters and downspouts so they are ready for the season.

Tip #2: Install Gutter Guards
If you’re looking for an easy way to keep your gutters clean and clear all year long, consider installing gutter guards. Gutter guards are a mesh screen system installed over your gutters and downspouts, which prevents leaves, twigs, and other debris from clogging your gutters. Gutter guards can be installed on any type of gutter, and they are a great way to keep your gutters clean without having to do any of the work yourself! While gutter guards do come with a higher upfront price tag than professional gutter cleaning, they will save you money over time and can even add value to your home – potential buyers love homes that have gutter guards already installed.
At Peak Performance, we work exclusively with one of the top gutter guard brands on the market: Arrow Gutter Guards. This way, we can ensure each and every customer we work with has the best possible product installed on their home. That’s the Peak Performance difference!
Tip #3: Elevate Your Look with Gutter Whitening!
Want your home to look its very best this year? Consider investing in gutter whitening and gutter washing. Gutter whitening is a process that lightens and brightens the color of your gutters, while gutter washing removes all of the built-up dirt, grime, and debris.
Gutter whitening can be done as a standalone service, or it can be combined with gutter cleaning for a total home makeover! Gutter washing is also a great way to prepare your gutters for gutter guards – if you’re considering this upgrade for your home, make sure to have your gutters washed first so the new guards have a clean surface to adhere to.
