According to CA.GOV, California has endured over 4,679 wildfires thus far in the 2022 fire season, covering more than 50,000 acres. That’s quite a bit of clean up! We know we can’t help everyone affected by these statistics, although we wish we could. However, we can certainly help those in the San Francisco area who need to tidy up after nearby wildfires leave a mess on our homes or businesses. Let our team of experts at ASF Clean Team alleviate the stress that comes with the aftermath of fire season in California. We can take care of it, so you don’t have to. 

Why hire someone to clean up after fire season?

Most of the information you read about cleaning up after wildfires in California calls for a number of chemical compounds to be used. But most of our customers in San Francisco prefer not to handle that stuff, and would rather their cleaning companies use the most natural ingredients possible during fire clean up. Ash and soot already have unsavory side effects if you happen to come into contact with them or breath them in. You don’t want the cleaning solutions used to be bad for you, as well!

ASF Clean Team focuses on using the safest clean up products and techniques available. This is just one of the areas we specialize in. Are you a business owner dealing with ash? We’ve got you covered. Is your home and driveway covered in soot and ash? We will take care of it, so you can relax and enjoy all things pumpkin spice this fall.

We are more than happy to help get your San Francisco home or business in tip-top shape so you can take care of your family, staff, or all of the above.

We have the proper attire and tools for this type of clean up around San Francisco homes and businesses. We will get the job done in a timely manner, so you can get back to the more important things in life, like spending time with your loved ones or catching a football game. Go ‘Niners!

Why Is Gutter Cleaning Important?

Gutter cleaning is so important because rainwater can have a trickling water damage effect on the home. It might just start off by running off the roof and down your house or business, but over time, it can even wreak havoc on your building’s foundation, and this can result in costly repairs.

What Happens If You Don’t Clean Them

Not only will debris eventually build up, making it harder to clean, but you’ll also be at risk of heavy rain seeping into your house or building and causing water damage. It may seem like a minor problem now, but it can turn into a big one later on if you don’t address it as soon as possible.

How Often Should I Clean My Gutters

Gutter cleaning is one of those necessary chores that needs to be done in order to care for your home or business. Unfortunately, gutters don’t clean themselves and they can easily become clogged with leaves, needles, and other debris. So it’s a good idea to keep them clean on a regular basis.

The best way to clean your gutters and stay safe is by hiring professional cleaners every few months (or at least once per year). The staff of ASF Clean Team has been providing residential and commercial gutter cleaning services for more than 15 years—trust us when we say we know what we’re doing! 

You’ll want to clean your gutters about twice a year. Once before the rainy season starts in the fall so they are able to flow properly, and again when the rainy season comes to an end.

Is It Safe To Clean Your Own Gutters?

The short answer is no, especially if you’re not familiar with climbing ladders and aren’t comfortable navigating your way across a roof. Along with being a necessary chore, gutter cleaning is a dangerous one. Many accidents occur when people attempt to clean their gutters themselves without the proper tools and safety equipment. 

Experienced experts like ASF Clean Team will know how to work on your specific type of gutter and be able to spot damage that you might not otherwise see (such as rot or leaks) and catch potential problems before they become serious issues. 

The tools necessary for proper gutter cleaning are very specific, sometimes sharp, and can be dangerous if used improperly—and unlike professional cleaners, DIYers don’t have training on how to safely use them.

As the weather warms up, everyone is headed outside to freshen up their home and yards. But what all is needed in cleaning the exterior of your home? How much can you do yourself and when is it time to call a professional? Here are a few cleaning services your home’s exterior definitely needs.

Window Cleaning

Window cleaning is one of the top things you need to do to care for and maintain your home. While cleaning the inside of your windows isn’t a hard task to do yourself, cleaning the exterior of your windows isn’t quite as easy. Your windows’ exteriors face more harsh elements than the interiors, like dust, leaves, weather, cobwebs, and so much more. And everyday household window cleaners aren’t up to the task, leaving streaks and dirt behind. Cleaning your windows on the outside gets even harder if you have a two- or three-story home.

In this case, you may want to reach out to professional window cleaners to clean the exterior of your windows.

Gutter Cleaning and Roof Cleaning

It’s a good idea to do some gutter cleaning, especially before and after it rains. You’ll want to clean your gutters out in case any debris has collected in them, whether it settled in there over time or filled up during a storm. 

You’ll also want to take a look at your roof. Is it looking dirty, or does it have a green tinge from algae and moss growth? Roof cleaning may be in order for the exterior of your home. Dirt, moss, and algae, if left untreated, will lead to your roof deteriorating sooner than later, so keeping it clean can make it last longer.

While you could clean your gutters and roof yourself, it’s a hard chore and at times dangerous because of the height. It’s best to call in a professional exterior home cleaning team, as they have the cleaning and safety equipment needed to clean gutters and roofs thoroughly and safely.

Pressure Washing Sidewalks and Driveways

Once storm season passes, cement sidewalks, driveways, and stoops could use a deep clean. Between the dirt, mud, and other debris being tracked all over them, your home’s front walkway is probably looking a little dull. Pressure washing is the best way to give your sidewalks, stoops, and driveway the deep clean it needs.

You could probably do this yourself, but buying or renting a pressure washer can be expensive. And it may not work as well as a professional’s would. Plus, if you’re going to be getting your windows, gutters, and roof cleaned by a professional, why not see if they offer other exterior cleaning services, like pressure washing? That way, they can get it all done in one superior job!

The Best Service for Cleaning the Exterior of Your Home

At ASF Clean Team, we offer a multitude of exterior cleaning services, like window cleaning, gutter cleaning, roof cleaning, pressure washing, power washing, soft washing, removing cobwebs, and so much more.

We have all of the training, certifications, insurance, and equipment needed to expertly and safely clean the exterior of your home. Contact us today for a quote on the exterior cleaning services you need.

Fall is finally here and it is time for fall cleaning. Yup, that’s right—fall cleaning. While spring cleaning focuses on the inside of your home, fall cleaning is more for the outside for your home. We’re talking roof, gutter, and downspout cleaning. Getting all of these things clean will prep your home for fall so you don’t have to worry about it later.

Why do I need to prep my home for fall?

We get it. We live in California and there is basically one season all year long. But, it’s still important to prep your home for fall. Even though the temperatures won’t dip too low, you’ll still have leaves falling from trees. These leaves will get on your roof and in your gutters and downspouts, making a mess. So, by preparing now, you’ll be ready for when the changing weather comes.

What does this entail?

A roof, gutter, and downspout cleaning is pretty self-explanatory. It’s just clearing your roof, gutters, and downspouts of all the dirt and debris they’ve collected over the past year. Because, let’s be honest, you probably haven’t checked any of those since last fall.

First, start with a general cleaning, like clearing out all of the leaves and other debris. Then, flush the gutters and downspouts with water and spray on the roof to make sure everything is really clean. This will prep your home for the coming fall and winter weather and any leaves that may fall. Without cleaning, your gutters and downspouts will overflow, causing issues you don’t want to deal with.

Can I do this myself?

Technically, you can clean your roof, gutters, and downspouts yourself. But the question is: Do  you really want to?

Cleaning your roof, gutters, and downspouts yourself means getting up on a ladder to do all of the cleaning. You’ll have to use your hands to get out every single leaf, twig, and dead bug. You’ll have to climb up on top of your roof to get absolutely everything. You’ll have to get your hose up there, too. You’ll probably need some help, and you’ll definitely need someone you can trust to spend long hours out there with you. 

All of that, and you still may have trouble getting everything done. Just like any other cleaning job, it’s easy to get bored and not want to finish it or think it’s completely done when it’s not. Is it really worth it, when you may not actually finish it all the way?

Get a professional to prep your home for fall

Instead of doing all of that work yourself, get a professional to do it. Professionals are trained to do this, have the proper tools, and will make sure it gets done right the first time. Plus, when you hire ASF Clean Team, we will also replace screens and fix any minor repairs on your roof, gutter, and downspouts. And, we have insurance for our employees, so you don’t have to worry about liability if an accident happens. Get a free quote today.

Fall is getting closer and with fall comes falling leaves. That must be how it got its name, huh? Anyway, with fall approaching it’s time to start thinking about roof and gutter cleaning. You don’t want to do it yourself—no one does. Here’s why you should trust professionals for roof and gutter cleaning.

Your Roof & Gutters are Like…Really High

Raise your hand if you’re afraid of heights! While YOU may have raised your hand, no professional roof and gutter cleaner did. Your roof and gutters are really high up on your house. And if you’re going to clean them yourself, you’re going to have to be the one who goes up there. You won’t just have to do the work of climbing up there and cleaning them. You’ll also have to pay for the safety equipment you need so that you don’t seriously injure yourself if you fall. 

Instead, the professionals can take care of it! We already have all of the safety equipment needed, and we’re super comfortable with climbing to higher surfaces. But, we won’t always need to! We have some equipment that can reach your gutters without us ever leaving the ground.

Roof & Gutter Cleaning Professionals Have Insurance

One of the biggest hesitations of having someone come clean your roof and gutters for you is what happens if they get hurt. Hopefully, with professionals they won’t get hurt, but you never know. Accidents happen. This is exactly why you shouldn’t take your neighbor, Dave, up on his offer to clean your roof and gutters. Dave likely doesn’t have his own insurance, and even if he does, there is still a risk that he’ll sue you. But that’s not a concern with insured professionals (or at least most professionals). If a company is truly reliable, like ASF Clean Team, they’ll have insurance for all of their employees. That means if someone gets hurt, you won’t be liable.

Our Tools Get a Better Clean

Think about times in the past that you have been cleaning, not necessarily your roof and gutters, but just cleaning in general. How many of those times, towards the end, are you feeling like, “Eh, that’s fine” and you don’t clean as well because you just want to get it done? Probably a lot. Well, with professionals, you won’t have that issue. First, it’s our job, so we actually enjoy doing it. But we also have better tools to clean than you are able to purchase. Our tools will make your roof and gutters sparkling clean. Plus, they get the job done faster than just a hose and hands, so you never have to worry about us saying, “Eh, it’s fine” just to get the job over with. You’ll even get before and after pictures to truly see the difference (because you still don’t want to climb up on that roof).

There’s no question why you should trust professionals for roof and gutter cleaning. Get ready for the fall by getting a quote and  scheduling your roof and gutter cleaning with ASF Clean Team today.
