9 Must-Have Tools for Cleaning Gutters

Gutter Cleaning Basics

We get it — climbing a ladder to scoop gunk from your gutters is not how you want to spend your weekend. Especially a drizzly fall weekend or a bitter cold winter weekend.

This leaves you with two choices: Hire a professional to do the dirty work (which can cost more than $200, depending on the size of your home, HomeAdvisor reports), or just get out there and do it yourself. Skip it just this once? Not an option, unless you want to deal with the problems that come with clogged gutters. We’re talking water damage, pest infestations and cracks in your foundation, to name a few.

And don’t let gutter guards fool you! While gutter guards certainly have their benefits, they won’t absolve you of your gutter cleaning duties. Debris can still get stuck in, around and especially on top of gutter guards.

How do you make this dirty job a little less so? With the right tools, of course. Here are nine must-have tools for cleaning your gutters.
