Answer: There are a handful of reasons as to why you should get your windows washed at least once a year. Listed below are some of the reasons.
Prevent glass degradation:
Glass degradation occurs when dirt particles, dust, and other micro-debris finds its way into the pores of the glass. Over time, it can damage the glass by ruining the clarity. Window cleaning helps maintain window quality.
Improve curb appeal:
Window cleaning helps make the home appear cleaner. It can also improve the mood and attitude of those in the living environment.
Stop bad air quality:
This relates to screen cleaning. Having clean screens when your windows are open is an important part of making sure dirt particles, dust, and other micro-debris don’t find their ways into your household. Imagine a dirty screen and a gust of wind blowing all that dust or dirt into your home.
Better heating efficiency:
Having clean windows in the fall will help more sunlight get in during these cold months to help naturally heat the home. Clean windows improves this efficiency and curbs unnecessary energy waste.
Enjoy a better view:
Aside from maintenance, clean windows can guarantee you have a better view. Whether that view consists of the lakes, your children playing in the backyard, the birds on the feeders, or just looking outside.
Quick summary:
Rain and dirt cause hard water build up and can seep into the pores in the glass. Over time, this damages the glass, but also makes it more difficult for the windows to get their “true clean” appearance again. There’s more to clean windows than what meets the eye.

Answer: There’s a variety of different reasons as to why you should maintain your gutters with cleanings in the spring and fall. Listed below are some of the reasons.
Protect your roof:Clean gutters allows rainwater to flow off the roof properly, avoiding a moisture buildup under your shingles or into your soffit and fascia. In the winter months, this can be especially prevalent with ice dams. These happen when snow and water cannot leave the gutter properly. It then freezes and expands under the shingles, causing more damage to the roof.
Protect your foundation:
Clean gutters and clean downspouts allows rainwater to flow away from the roof and foundation properly. Clean gutters prevents water pooling around your foundation which can cause a sinking foundation.
Protect your landscaping:
Clean gutters and clean downspouts allows rainwater to flow away from the landscaping around the house and prevents soil erosion.
Protect your attic & basement:
Clean gutters and clean downspouts allows rainwater to flow away from the base of the house. On the other hand, gutters that are full of leaves or debris, can create water pooling which can damage the attic, or when it rains again, you may notice water in your basement. Clean gutters can act as a preventative to receiving water in your basement.
Keep the bugs away:
Stagnant water sitting in the gutters is a breeding ground for bugs and insects, especially mosquitoes. Clean gutters can remove this breeding ground and help with bug problems around the house, making your time outdoors, more enjoyable.
Quick summary:
Water can be damaging to your house. Clogged gutters attract more than just leaves. Mold, mildew, and bugs tend to love the moist environment dirty gutters create.

Answer: In general, gutter guards do a good job at keeping debris out of your gutters. But, it doesn’t keep it all out. Gutter guards keep the big stuff out, while the little dirt, dust, and leafy debris still find a way into the gutter. If enough of it slips in, then your gutters are prone to clogging as if the guards weren’t even installed.
