The Gutter Boys' subscription gutter-cleaning service lets you “set it and forget it"

By Mimi Vanderhaven

We all know it’s important to keep our gutter systems flowing smoothly, but cleaning them is a dirty, dangerous job, one we should not be doing ourselves. But it’s also difficult to schedule gutter cleaning until you notice the dreaded overflows.

Now, The Gutter Boys—a team of full-service, gutter specialists—has the solution: subscribe.

“We offer a gutter cleaning subscription service, so you never have to worry about it again,” explains company founder Anthony Alberino. “We show up and take care of it on a regular basis.”

Most subscriptions include two to four cleanings per year and subscribers’ gutters take priority during scheduling. The subscription model is such a simple yet innovative solution to an age-old problem, that homeowners are “signing up like crazy.”

Whether you choose a single gutter cleaning or subscribe, it’s best to leave it to the pros. “Our entire team is experienced and trained in proper cleaning techniques as well as ladder safety,” Anthony says. “We know the ins and outs of gutter systems and can clean them safely.”

Covering Your Gutters
Many homeowners prefer covering their gutters rather than relying on regular cleaning, and The Gutter Boys has you covered there, too. As a local company, not a national franchise with a single product, they can recommend and install the system that’s right for you, including their best-in-class micro-mesh gutter guard.

“Unfortunately, poorly designed and manufactured gutter guards have a high fail rate,” Anthony says. “Our system, however, has a lifetime warranty. And when we install it, two-thirds of the time we are taking down someone else’s failed guards.”

The Gutter Boys system features:

• A high-flow, stainless steel micro-mesh featuring a raised S-curve that allows for the self-shedding of debris.
• A vertical louvered frame that improves drainage, discouraging the growth of algae.
• A lightweight, aluminum frame that won’t warp or add extra weight to the system.
• The cover is attached to the fascia, not the shingles, so it can’t void your roof warranty.

Exterior Window Cleaning
The Gutter Boys has just introduced a revolutionary way to clean exterior windows—with no ladder and no squeegee.

“It’s called water-fed pole window cleaning,” Anthony explains. “We use a three-stage water purification system to eliminate all particles in the water that could leave spots or residue.”

The three stages in the purification process are 1) carbon filtration, which traps impurities such as chlorine, sediment and organic matter; 2) reverse osmosis, which uses high pressure to force the water through a semi-permeable membrane to remove smaller particles like minerals, bacteria, and viruses; and 3) deionization, which removes smaller minerals and ions. One tank exchanges positively charged ions—such as calcium, magnesium, and sodium—for hydrogen ions, while a second tank exchanges negatively charged ions—such as chloride, sulfate, and nitrate—for hydroxide ions. The hydrogen and hydroxide ions combine to form pure water, leaving no spots on your windows.
