Love Thy Neighbor...For Your Own Good

Today I was at a house in Chicago giving an estimate for Leaf Solution. My customer certainly had enough trees around his house to justify having an estimate. He also takes good care of his gutters. He told me that he is on the ladder multiple times every year cleaning them out. If he does not clean them out then he ends up having water seeping into his basement. As we walked between his house and his neighbor's house he told me that since the houses were only 6 feet apart that when the neighbor's gutters overflow it causes him just as much trouble as when his own gutters overflow. He went on to say that his neighbors gutters had once pulled loose and sagged right in the middle of the house and he had to get on a ladder and fix it himself to prevent damage to his own house. Could you imagine having to fix your neighbor's gutters just so you don't end up with seepage in your basement! Needless to say, other people on his block had noticed how well this man took care of his house. Many of them said that they wanted to know which gutter protection he chose so they could get it too...Well, he signed up with me because the quality of SpringRock gutters and Leaf Solution is unsurpassed.
If you live in chicago and your houses are close together your should consider that how you take care of your house affects your neighbor's house too...especially when it comes to gutters and water issues. So for your own good, when you buy gutter guards, encourage your neighbor to buy them too.
