Gutter Cleaning Maintenance Plans in Northern Virginia

Almost every expensive gutter problem started out as a cheap one. A plan puts somebody on your roofline twice a year, which is how the small stuff gets caught while it is still small.

Overview

A maintenance plan is not a subscription for the sake of a subscription. It is scheduled access to your roofline, which is the only place gutter and fascia problems can actually be seen.

We clear the troughs by hand, bag the debris, and flush every downspout until it runs clean, then check that the water is leaving the house instead of dumping at the foundation. While we are up there we look at the hangers, the seams, the drip edge, and the first few feet of shingle. You get photos from every visit. Nothing gets fixed unless you say yes to it.

01

Twice a year

Spring, after the seeds and pollen drop. Fall, after the leaves come down. Heavy tree cover means a third visit. We put you on the schedule and you stop thinking about it.

02

Downspouts flushed

Clearing the trough and leaving a packed downspout accomplishes nothing. We run water through every drop until it flows clean, and we clear underground lines where we can reach them.

03

Photos every visit

You get a CompanyCam link showing before and after on each elevation. If we found something, a photo of it is in there too, with a note about what it actually means.

Detail

The inspection is not an upsell

When your mechanic checks the brakes during an oil change, that is not a sales tactic. It is the whole reason you go to a mechanic instead of doing it yourself in the driveway.

  • What we look at while we are up thereHanger spacing and loose spikes, separated seams, sagging runs, rotted fascia behind the gutter, rusted drip edge, and lifted shingles along the eave. All of it is obvious from a ladder and invisible from the ground.
  • What we tell youExactly what we saw, with a photo of it, and whether it needs attention now or can wait until next season. Plenty of what we find can wait, and we say so instead of writing an estimate.
  • Undersized guttersVirginia design rainfall is 6.5 inches per hour. Five inch gutter on a large roof simply cannot move that much water, and no amount of cleaning fixes a sizing problem. We will tell you if that is what you have.
  • Member pricing and priorityPlan customers get priority scheduling when a storm backs everybody up, and plan pricing on repairs we find during a visit. That is the real value of being on the schedule.

    What Virginia homeowners say

    Questions

    Gutter Cleaning Maintenance Plans questions we get asked

    How often do gutters really need cleaning?

    Twice a year for most homes in Northern Virginia. Under mature oaks or pines, three times. If they have never been cleaned and the house sits under trees, expect the first visit to be the ugly one and everything after that to be routine maintenance.

    I have gutter guards. Do I still need this?

    Yes. Guards still collect debris on top and underneath, and they hide clogs. Your plan visit checks and clears them. We don’t install guards, here is why.

    What happens if I just skip it?

    Water backs over the front lip and runs down the fascia, which rots. It sits in the trough and pulls the hangers out of the wood. In winter it freezes at the eave and forces ice back up under the shingles. Every one of those repairs costs more than years of cleanings.

    Do you fix what you find, or just report it?

    We report it first and you decide. Small items like resealing a seam or resetting a hanger we can usually handle on the same visit at plan pricing. Anything larger gets a written estimate and you take as long as you want with it.

    Can I get proof the work was done?

    Every visit. Photos and video from each elevation go on CompanyCam and you get the link. It is stored indefinitely, so if you sell the house you have a maintenance record to hand the buyer during inspection. That record is worth something at closing.
