How a gutter cleaning call works
Debris scooped by hand into bags, not blown onto the lawn or the roof
Every downspout flushed with a hose until it runs clear, and snaked if it does not
Hangers, seams, and pitch checked while we are up there, with anything we find noted for you
Before and after photos texted to you the same day
Questions about gutter cleaning
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Twice a year for most homes: once after the cottonwoods drop in early summer and once after the leaves come down in fall. Homes under big trees may need a third pass.
Do you walk on the roof?
Only when the pitch and roofing allow it safely. Most work is done from ladders with standoffs so the gutters are not dented.
What happens to the debris?
It leaves with us. We do not blow it into the yard or leave bags at the curb.
