With the holidays and plunging temperatures around the corner, November is the perfect time of year to tackle any home maintenance projects you’ve been putting off. Whether you’re planning on hosting family gatherings or are preparing to visit family and friends, you need to protect your home from getting damaged over the winter. Gutter cleaning is a necessity, and November is a great time to take care of it. 

1. Pre-Winter Preparation

Part of your pre-winter preparation should include gutter cleaning. The best protection against a gutter emergency is proactive maintenance, which significantly reduces the likelihood that you’ll deal with issues later on in the winter season.

2. Leaf Fall

The fall is when most trees lose their leaves. While most of them land on the ground, it only takes a few to clog your gutters. When gutters fill with debris like that, they aren’t going to be able to clear it on their own. That’s why a gutter cleaning right after the leaves have fallen off all the trees is crucial. 

3. Milder Weather Conditioners

November is typically the last month of milder weather conditions before the icy cold winter months begin. Take advantage of this time to work on any outdoor tasks that need to be completed and clean your gutters while it isn’t too hot or cold out.

4. Avoid the Holiday Rush

Fun as the holiday season is, it is also an extremely busy time. When you schedule a gutter cleaning in November, you cross another task off of your to-do list before the hectic holiday season starts. That way, you can focus on enjoying spending time with family and friends.

5. Prolong Gutter Lifespan

When you prioritize gutter cleaning, you help extend the lifespan of your gutters. This is because, with regular maintenance such as cleaning out debris, you prevent the likelihood that they will need expensive last-minute repairs and replacements.

6. Energy Efficiency

Your gutters are a crucial part of your home’s structural makeup, as they prevent its exterior from getting water damage by ensuring your roof is draining properly. That means that, when you prioritize their upkeep, you get rid of dampness and leaks, which increases your property’s energy efficiency.

7. Prevent Winter Roof Leaks

Some of the most common culprits of roof leaks are leaves, twigs, and debris buildup. That’s because they block downspouts, which causes water to pool on the roof. Therefore, it makes the most sense to clean your gutters now before the cold weather arrives and causes issues.

8. Peace of Mind

There’s enough to worry about in the winter season without adding the condition of your gutters to the mix. With proactive November maintenance, you set yourself up for an easy, stress-free winter/ holiday season. Once it’s done you’ll be able to sit back and enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your home’s structure is in great condition.
