Tip of the Day



Gutter Maintenance

Fall is officially here and that means leaves are officially falling. Deep from within the Carey Brothers' vault, we bring you ways to clear rain gutters with ease when they're all clogged up with leaves. Think safety first. Use a sturdy ladder on solid ground, and use the right tools to get the job done. First keep a bucket or trash bag handy topside so you won't have to dump debris along the way. Special gutter cleaning tools are available like the handy gutter grabber on an 18-foot extension pole that safely pulls leaves in to you from both sides without dangerous over-reaching. Then there's the gutter getter scoop to lift leaves out once you've got them where you want them. Gutter cleaning just got easier, faster and safer (so you can watch football without feeling guilty). Look for these and other timesaving tools at your local hardware store. And that's the On The House tip for today.
