GUTTER CLEANING

You probably haven't met anyone who loves to clean their gutters, but how can you blame them? It is a grimy task and often requires you to remove a poor bird's nest to save your home's structural integrity. If you don't remember the last time you had a gutter cleaning service, now is the time. We recommend that DIY cleaners take their ladders in for inspection, as most jurisdictions require that for health and safety. Otherwise, you could lose insurance coverage in case of an accident. Additionally, we don't recommend homeowners use a pressure washer if they are not familiar with the psi settings or haven't thoroughly inspected their gutters' condition.

The majority of Westminster homes likely have aluminum gutters, which are weather-resistant and rust-proof if sealed correctly. On the other hand, some do have vinyl and other plastic types that could crack, warp and break and wouldn't be able to handle ice dams if you ever experience any. If you're unsure of your material type, your Westminster handyman is happy to help you out.

Ensure your gutter and downspout are clog-free and in shape before the rainy month of May begins. Otherwise, you may find yourself needing gutter repair or replacement.

DECK INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

If there is one thing you would like to have ready for the spring and summer, it would be a deck—preferably equipped with a little fireplace or another unique feature! Whether you’re planning a deck installation or need your existing one treated with some TLC and improvements, our expert service professionals can help. We have taken on a great variety of projects in the past and know all the details and tips, from choosing the right material to efficiently installing your dream deck.

As a dedicated mountain lover, you certainly have lots of wooden material at home that defines your down-to-earth lifestyle. Besides your traditional wood-based deck, there are other materials that you can use to suit budgets or needs. But we all agree that durability and insect resistance are the top qualities for Westminster standards—and the less repair it needs, the better! Some common material types include:

• Pressure-treated wood: This is the most common type. The wood is injected with a moisture-resistant and bug-deterrent preservative during production.
• Cedar: Do you love the smell of fresh pine? Cedar is naturally weather-resistant without needing to be stained or sealed, but we still recommend sealing it if you want the natural colors to last.
• Composite: Composite is made of a blend of wood fibers, plastic materials, and other additives to create durability and resilience. This type requires the least amount of maintenance and can last up to 30 years.
• Vinyl: Vinyl may be a cost-effective option in terms of material, but installation may cost more. It's also not biodegradable and needs to be appropriately disposed of. High-quality vinyl is crack and rot-resistant and can also resist damage from UV rays.

Pro Tip: During your deck installation, it’s important to remember that most types of hardware only correspond with certain materials. Therefore, the material of fasteners and anchors have to be compatible with the deck material. You can never go wrong with corrosion-resistant stainless steel. As for the examples mentioned above, stainless steel is compatible with pressure-treated wood, while aluminum is only compatible with cedar and composite.
