What to clear
- Troughs and downspout elbows
- Screens or guards that trapped pines needles
- Buried drain outlets at grade
- Check hangers for pull-out while you are up there (or hire it)
Safety
Wet leaves on metal ladders are a fall risk. Many homeowners hire cleaning rather than climb.
Do not walk on a frosty roof to "just check" gutters.
When cleaning is not enough
Sagging runs, rotten fascia, or missing drip edge need repair — not another scoop of leaves.
We combine cleaning assessment with a written gutter or roof-edge scope when damage shows.
