Gutter Cleaning Also Includes Roof Cleaning and a Light Pruning of Trees nearby if Needed
Gutter cleaning usually includes a light pruning of trees that have grown over the roof line and it should always include cleaning the roof as well if needed before cleaning the gutters and downspouts.
Here’s why.
When branches grow against the walls and/or roof of a building or when debris collects on the roof, they begin to trap moisture.
That moisture can back up and deteriorate the roofing material and also wick back up into the under layer under the roofing material (consisting of particle board or ply wood in most cases) as well as the structural support of the roof when left over many years.
So keeping the roof free of these will prolong the life of your roof. It also looks and feels better.
