Picture this: Two people pick up a ball of yarn and a pair of knitting needles. One has been knitting her entire life; the other has never done it before. Who do you think will make the better sweater?

Some things in life require experience. And when it comes to your windows, this mantra has never been more important.

A DIY window cleaning endeavor is an undertaking. Depending upon the size of your home, it’s a job that can take the whole day.

Your property needs some help to regain its luster – and a pressure washing company can make that happen. But before you entrust a company with your biggest investment, make sure to ask them a few key questions:

1. 1.Do you tailor your cleaning approach depending on the surface?
   Your technicians should provide two options: Pressure washing and soft washing. Pressure washing is a great choice for driveways and sidewalks, while soft washing is a safe method for home exteriors and roofs.
2. 2.Do you have testimonials?
   This is where you can feel confident that you’re getting a great solution. Your pressure washing company should be able to direct you to customer reviews and ratings that speak to their service.
3. 3.What can you remove?
   Moss, mold, mildew, grease, dirt, oil: Grime can come in a lot of different forms. Speak with your pressure washer to make sure they have the technology to remove it all.

With the team at Superior Pressure Washing on your side, you’ll always have thorough, honest, and satisfactory answers to these important questions. A completely “like new” result is waiting for your property!

Your roof can sometimes get relegated to “afterthought” territory. There are a thousand and one other property maintenance needs to consider, after all – and roof cleaning doesn’t always make it to the top of the list.

But consider this a plea to reconsider roof cleaning on your list of priorities. The maintenance of your shingles are, after all, directly connected to your property’s curb appeal and your investment.

Making sense of black streaks

Most roofs in our region get impacted by an issue we call “black streaks.” The title is self-descriptive – dark stripes run down the length of your roof, and the result isn’t exactly easy on the eye.

But these stains aren’t just an eyesore. They come with a whole host of challenges, but we return the favor with solutions.

• What are black streaks?
  They’re caused by Gloeocapsa Magma, a type of bacteria that eats the limestone matter in your roofing.
• Why do they spread?
  The more they eat, the more they grow. And that’s when the eyesore of a stain comes into play.
• Are they bad for me roof?
  Yes. Black streaks degrade roof quality, strip away heating and cooling efficiency, and make it necessary to get a roof replacement prematurely.

Your roof cleaning solution

Okay, enough of the bad news. Black streaks aren’t good for your roof – but there is a solution. Superior Pressure Washing delivers a soft washing solution that will:

• Remove black stains and other eyesores
• Kill Gloeocapsa Magma, as well as mold and mildew
• Wash away dirt and debris

With regular roof cleaning, your curb appeal is back on track. But you also have a roof that is ready to last for the long run – and look great every single step of the way!

The absolute last thing any homeowner wants to care about is how well their gutters are working. Even more, nobody likes getting out the ladder a couple of times a year to get up on the roof to clean debris and leaf clogs out of the gutters.

Imagine a world where you never have to think about your gutters again. The good news is that such a world already exists! The K-Guard Gutter System requires no maintenance, no more ladders to the roof, and no more scraping goop and clogs out of your gutters.

Not only that, they come with a lifetime clog-free warranty. You read that right – the K-Guard Gutter System is so effective that it comes with a lifetime promise that it will never clog! There is no other gutter system on the market today that can not only make such a claim but also back it up in writing.

Can I really live life clog-free?

The short answer is yes! As long as there is no external damage to K-Guard gutters and downspouts, they will function perfectly year after year. If for some reason they actually do clog, one of our technicians will come out to your home right away and clean them out at absolutely no cost to you, no matter how long you own your home.

Think about it. You’ll never have to climb your ladder to clean out your gutters again! All you have to do is give us a call. One of our professional technicians will come out and give you a free estimate. Then, all that’s left is for our team of professional installers to come out and install the best investment in your home that you’ll ever make.

How does the K-Guard Gutter System work?

K-Guard gutters are the best solution to an age-old problem. When leaves and other debris are blowing around, they need a place to land. Unfortunately for homeowners, where they land most often is in the gutters, where they become collecting places for even more leaves and debris. Soon, the leaves and debris create clogs, which causes the gutters and downspouts to get backed up. These backups mean that the water that is supposed to be moved away from your home instead overflows, seeps into your roof, and can cause significant damage.

The K-Guard Gutter System prevents water overflow by preventing leaves, sticks, debris, and other airborne objects from ever getting into the gutters to start with. The sophisticated covers create a barrier that allows rainwater to flow in and be safely moved from the home while preventing leaves from ever getting in.

The system consists of two main parts, the hood, and the gutter. A narrow gap between the two allows the water to pass through and keep the clogs out. No leaves in the gutter mean no clogs in the gutter, which means no need for ladders to climb up and clean the gutters!

What about the gutters themselves, are they included in the warranty?

They are. If there are any defects in the installation or materials, we’ll come out and fix them right away, free of charge. Our exclusive Finish Guard Paint Finish will not chip, flake, or peel due to a manufacturing defect. If a problem develops, we’ll come out and refinish or replace them as long as they aren’t externally damaged for the lifetime of your home!

Is it possible to live a leaf free life with the K-Guard Gutter System?

It sure is. All you have to do is give us a call. You love your yard, your house, and your trees, but you hate dealing with leaves and clogs in your gutters. Our lifetime clog-free warranty means you can have all the pleasure that comes with having beautiful trees on your property without the worry of gutter clogs.

The K-Guard Gutter System gutters consist of the hood, gutter, and downspouts, the entire system needed to safely remove rainwater from your home. They are made from heavy-duty aluminum that won’t corrode, able to withstand virtually any weather condition.

Not only that, they will save you money too! Without K-Guard gutters, you may manage to avoid climbing the ladders yourself by hiring someone to clean them regularly for you. But keep in mind that the average cost of hiring professionals to clean your gutters is just under $200 a year. Since most experts recommend a cleaning at least three times a year, that means you could be shelling out $600 a year just to have your gutters cleaned!

Why not avoid both the hassle and expense? With K-Guard gutters, you can enjoy your home the way it was meant to be enjoyed, a leaf free, clog-free life! Contact us now to learn more about the K-Guard Gutter System, get an estimate, and start enjoying a life free of clogs and ladders.

Gutters seem simple enough, but if they’re not installed correctly, they won’t be able to move water away from your home. A properly pitched gutter is tilted slightly toward their downspouts to ensure rainwater. This allows water to flow freely without getting trapped along the way. As a general rule of thumb, your gutters should slope down from their peak at least one quarter inch for every 10 feet of gutter.

So, how can you tell if your gutters are properly pitched? And what can you do about it? Read on to learn more:

Check your gutters after a rainstorm

An easy way to make sure water is flowing through your downspouts is to inspect your gutters following a rainstorm. If you see any standing water in your gutters, and it’s not being blocked by debris or other obstructions, the pitch of the gutters is too shallow.

Try bending the gutter hanger

In some cases, you may be able to correct isolated gutter pitch issues by gently bending the gutter hanger in the affected area to allow water to drain into the downspout. If the pitch problems are more widespread, however, you may need to have your gutters rehung by a professional installer.

Avoiding incorrectly pitched gutters

If your gutters were originally hung by professionals and have been properly maintained, you shouldn’t have to worry too much about pitch problems unless they’re damaged by something like a falling tree limb. You’re also less likely to encounter pitch problems with seamless gutters because they must be custom cut to suit the unique dimensions of your home.
