Gutter Downspout Clearing

What a weekend we’ve had in Raleigh so far!  Temperatures have been steady near 90, but this morning we were treated with a dramatic cool-off following a couple of intense thunderstorms.

After we had completed 2 houses that had several years of neglect, the rain came DOWN.  Fortunately this storm happened right as I was leaving the 2nd job, and was heading to the 3rd.  The 3rd customer is a regular maintenance customer that has their gutters cleaned bi-annually.  When I arrived, there was a literal river running down the sidewalk, and the gutter over the main door was overflowing.  A quick look with the SkyCam revealed that the only issue was a clogged downspout on the 2nd story.  After the water flowed out, the remaining grit was removed and it was on to the next job!  Take a look at the video to see how the SkyVac made quick work of a clog.

Gutter Vacuuming vs Roof Walking

Today I was called out to a job where a father wanted to get the gutters on his home cleaned in order to reduce mosquito holding areas in preparation for his daughters birthday party.  This customer was very knowledgeable in his options for gutter cleaning, and he specified that what stood out about Suck It Up Gutter Cleaning was that we removed the debris and wouldn’t get his nice clean deck all dirty.  After completing the job, we were chatting, and he made a striking comment:

“I could have gone with the guys that go through the neighborhood and charge $40 to walk across the roof with a leaf blower, but then I’d have to spend hours cleaning my flower beds and pay someone to wash the siding”.  

This is not an uncommon comment from someone who has had to maintain gutters in the past, but it may strike new homeowners as a way to SAVE money.

Suck It Up Gutter Cleaning offers a premium service, and yes, we do charge more than “Roof-walkers”, but by taking more time and using the right equipment, we are saving you from having to perform or hire out those ancillary services.

And that doesn’t even take into account the significant cost that would be incurred by the homeowner if one of those roof-walkers were to fall from your roof!  Just ask your insurance agent!

Just like the old saying from Ben Franklin goes, “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten”.

Remember that, and give us a call to get the job done, without making more work or expense for you!
