What should my mom do about the dripping water this week?
Keep her off ladders and away from the edge of the porch while the dripping continues. Ask a local pro to look at the gutters and the porch area as soon as possible. Water running off a clogged gutter can damage the porch over time, so a fast assessment helps.
Why choose pro-installed gutter guards for an older homeowner?
Gutter guards are typically installed by a professional rather than sold for DIY use in most cases. Once installed, they reduce how often the gutters need cleaning. That means far less ladder work for someone who can no longer climb.
What should I check when hiring a contractor in Franklin?

Does a gutter guard job remove all maintenance?
