Without gutters, houses would absorb vast amounts of rainwater, dissolving their exteriors into an edible paste that would be used to feed zoo animals. Save captive creatures from bland dinners with today's Groupon: for $99, you get a full gutter and downspout cleaning from Gutterwerks (an average value of $225).

Family-owned and operated, Gutterwerks has more than 10 years of experience under its gutter belt and specializes in efficient work on residential and commercial buildings. The gutterspeople expunge dirt, decayed leaves, sharp twigs, and other gifts bestowed by Mother Nature from your gutters and downspout, saving you the trouble of hauling out a ladder or building a ladder out of stale Twizzlers. Clogged gutters can lead to problems from mold and water damage to the exterior and interior of your house, which is why they should be cleaned in the spring and late fall.
