Gutter cleaning is removing leaves and debris from gutters and flushing the downspouts so water runs freely.
Where it matters on a gutter job
It is recurring work that fits a route and a reminder schedule, usually spring and fall. Price by the linear foot or by stories, and photograph the clean gutter, because the customer cannot see it from the ground.
