Have you cleaned your gutters lately?

I was showing a home in Park Hill recently, and we noticed piles of pine needles in the gutters.  The buyers remarked that it looked like a fire hazard.
Denver area pine trees shed massive numbers of needles this time of year, which clog gutters and prevent proper drainage.  Remember to check your gutters for needles and leaves, and clean them out before the rain and snow descend.  This should be one of your regular home maintenance items.  If you’ve already checked it off your list – good for you!
Don’t let pine needles or leaves plague your gutters, inspect all of your gutters this week while the weather is still gorgeous!  It’s one of those things that home buyers may not overtly notice, but gives your home a well-maintained look.
