What if there is no hose available?

If you don't have a hose available, you can still clean the gutters manually. Just let the next good rainstorm flush the gutters naturally.

My gutters used to clog all the time with leaves and pine needles from all the trees around my house. my husband hated getting out the ladder and cleaning them. I finally installed a gutter guard so that we wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. It's called Gutterglove Gutterguard. It's has a stainless steel mesh on an aluminum frame. It looks and feels pretty heavy duty. I ordered it and installed it myself. I am so happy with the way it is performing. We don't have to clean the gutters anymore. It was well worth the investment and I would recomend it to everyone!

I don't know about your question. I think you can find best roof coatings for your roof.

What about using a blower /vac.

Four Words.... Gas Powered Leaf Blower. I used one to clean gutters for 15 years (until I got a "Leafguard" system installed). I still use the leaf blower to clear excess leaves and needles off of the roof.

Using a gas-powered is superior to electric since you don't have to worry about the power cord catching under shingles and on vents or simply running out of power cord.

I live in San Francisco Bay area and have installed a rain gutter guard called Gutter Helmet. Rather I had these guys, Gutter Helmet Bay Area install it for me. They did great work and have not had to mess with my gutters since.

Here is how it works: http://www.gutterhelmetca.com/howitworks.html

Pretty cool stuff. Good luck.
