As summer nears, it’s the ideal moment to give your home’s exterior a fresh, clean look! Whether you're hosting backyard barbecues or just want your property to shine, curb appeal matters. At Gutter Doctor, we know that a sparkling window and well-maintained gutters can make all the difference. In this post, we’ll dive into how window cleaning and gutter maintenance go hand-in-hand to improve your home’s look—and why now’s the best time to take action.

The Power of Curb Appeal

First impressions matter. Clean windows and well-functioning gutters instantly make your home more welcoming. Regular gutter cleaning and professional window cleaning can:

Prevent water damage
Protect your landscaping
Extend the life of your exterior materials
Make your windows gleam—inside and out

Don't overlook this: homes boasting impressive curb appeal typically sell more quickly and fetch premium prices.

Why Gutter Maintenance Is Crucial Before Summer

Alberta’s winters are rough on gutters. By the time spring ends, debris buildup from snow, ice, and falling branches can clog your system. Skipping regular gutter cleaning can lead to serious problems like roof leaks, pests, and even damage to your home’s foundation.

If you're in Edmonton, now’s the time to schedule gutter cleaning Edmonton services before those summer rains hit.

Selecting the Right Gutter Spouts for Your Home

Gutter spouts may seem like a small detail, but they play a massive role in how your gutter system performs. Here’s what to consider:

1. Home Style

Modern homes: Go for sleek aluminum or stainless steel spouts.
Traditional homes: Copper or painted steel spouts add charm.

2. Climate

Alberta’s unpredictable weather means your spouts must handle snowmelt and heavy rains.
We often recommend wider downspouts for better flow during spring and summer.

3. Budget

Vinyl is affordable but less durable.
Aluminum strikes an ideal compromise between affordability and durability.

Still unsure what’s right? Our team at Gutter Doctor can help you choose the best option.

Don’t Forget the Windows!

While you're getting your gutters cleaned, don't neglect those windows. Grimy windows can diminish your home’s view and detract from its exterior charm. Professional window cleaning clears away grime, streaks, and pollen, giving your home a fresh, cared-for appearance.

Our cleaning services also include power washing and siding wash-downs for a total exterior refresh.

Alberta’s Weather Is No Joke

With summer storms and intense sun on the way, getting ahead of gutter and roof repair is crucial. Take a look at:
