How to Prepare Your Gutters For Winter Gutter maintenance is not something we often think about. They are the long half-pipes of metal that run along the edge of your roof and, because we cannot directly see inside of them, they are often ignored. As you begin to think about getting your roof ready for winter, your gutters should get some extra attention. The best route is to hire a professional who has the proper safety training and tools to clean out your gutters efficiently. By having your gutters cleaned, melting snow will be able to drain properly, snow build up on your roof will be manageable, and the life of your roof and gutters will be extended. Reach out to us at Pritchett Brothers to start a conversation about your options before winter comes a'knockin'!
