This is a good business to start as it is simple and all you have to do is learn how to handle a ladder like a pro, conquer your fear of heights and understand the importance of rainwater control. The home owner will pay a suprisingly decent amount of money for a service call to have somebody come by with a ladder, run around the yard, blow the roof off, clean the gutters and check downspouts for clogs. Success in this business is the art of great customer service for the proud home owner. They will pay more to have moss treated and your can expand the business to include window cleaning and roof cleaning. I've been doing this for many years and it pays quite well. I do very little marketing as most jobs are repeat clients and referrals.

I don't know whether you would go to the trouble of saving what is clogging the guttering but it is very beneficial for gardening it is known as leaf mold it is a very healthy medium to grow plants
This is true but often the stuff clogging gutters also contains the material from shingle roofs, which can have plenty of harsh chemicals and fiberglass in it as well as bird feces.
there was a plant growing in the gutter at my house, and it was practically unreachable it eventually got so heavy that it broke the gutter so that was fun
There are a lot of people who do not or cannot do their own gutters. My husband and I used to do this kind of work. Quick easy money for anybody who's willing to work a little bit. I have taken trash bags to the roof and went along the edge to get the wet debris out. I have also thrown it on the ground and cleaned it up afterwards. That really depended on what was under where I was working. Fun stuff.
@@Coffee_Is_Magic wear gloves!!!Use a water hose to flush the drains down sprout. You can walk all over the roof when it's dry and use the blower. Any big clumps you can spread out either on the ground with the rest of these or clean them up. 😉
You still have to clean the junk that gets on top of them. Also, good gutter guards can be expensive to install on a nice home. Over the long run, the homeowner can save money just by having someone come out and clean them a couple times a year rather than spending thousands of dollars to have gutter guards installed professionally.
Gutter guards help but depending on your situation you will still need to clean the eaves. They've reduced my cleaning to three to four times a season at the cabin.
Thank you very helpful video. When my gutters were installed they put a barrier to block leaves and debris. Well this week it was pouring reallly bad when i got home and i noticed a bunch of water pouring over the sides. My entire gutters were full of dirt and plant material. Fun weekend Fun times. The barriers were nothing more than cheap grade chicken wire😅
“Trees are growing out of the gutter and the roots can put a lot of weight on the gutter and rip the gutter off the house” (As they rest a ladder right on the gutter)
I have leaf guards on mine, and it makes cleaning them out a breeze. I climb up a ladder, get my hose out on full stream, and blast that crap right out. After, a nice rinse with some diluted white vinegar or dish soap.
I wonder if the company uses any type of fall protection when working on roofs, falling off a roof is a very common injury for people that work on roofs.
So wait, a PROFESSIONAL gutter cleaning company leans their ladder directly on the gutters?!? Well I guess if you smash them, cleaning won’t be necessary. Genius!😵💫
Once, my house had these plants. I decided to clean them when the next door neighbor came with a professional cleaners and told me that she would pay them to clean it. I cleaned it myself next-day.
Im very confused that there's so little professionalism to this job. Anyone could do this by themselves. They don't even bring a bucket, instead they just throw the debris on the yard/plantation. Also there are specific gutter cleaning attachments for leaf blowers but they also don't have those
Lucky for you that many houses in the US are 1-2 stories..... bc for my home there would be 4 stories in some parts....(would you climb on the roof in that case? Because a ladder would be more dangerous i guess)
So you not only have plastic gutters but when the rain water pours out of the downpipe it flows directly on the ground next to the foundation or basement? Maybe you want to consider leading it away a bit so it can seep away where it does no harm or even better lead it in some sort of sewerage system?
I just got done doing my biannual gutter cleaning. Sad thing is that I do have gutter guards, but they were not designed for pine needles. At all. How was I supposed to know that leaf guards are not necessarily pine needle guards? More importantly, which are better? I hate having to redo a project, but looks like it is a necessity as my body doesn't like ladder work anymore.

Top tip. Take a bucket up the ladder instead of dropping the mud and debris on the floor and creating another cleaning up job.
But the bucket might get heavy and cause discomfort upstairs?
Put a plastic or tarp below the ladder then you can easily pack the debris up and throw it out
Drill holes in the bottom of the bucket keeps liquid out of bucket and keeps the bucket from getting heavy. Dump wet debris in trash bag when bucket gets about half full.
Was gonna say... Absolute no respect from the gardenning job underneath the ladder and dropping spot.
@@gaiapiou1384 it’s just mulch. We pick it up, completely. Too dangerous having one hand on the roof or ladder, because we are carrying a bucket.
Seems pretty simple and fun. If I had a dirty gutter I’d clean it myself

Always use a u hook on the end of the ladder so it doesn’t rest on the gutter edge and dent it and use a bucket on a rope or something sloppy
Soooooo satisfying
Here in Oregon I found a pot plant growing out of this lady's gutter. The things you find In gutters.
Those were very wide & accessible gutters. Where I live half the gutter on most houses is covered by tiles.
Same as mine my hand not fit ,roof tile too long half way gutter, no much space for my hand, must use tongs
Who knew that this was the video I needed to see today
Great informative video thank you!
You can plant those mini trees from the gutters too
It can help the invironment
This is easy
The word you are looking for is "seed"
for one use a bucket dump it each trip down two don't rest your ladder against gutters it scratches them up use a ladder max standoff on ladder
guy got a whole farm growing in the gutter
Great informative video thank you!
😍
Bending gutters left & right leaning the ladder that way. Get support bars.
I have done this before on a 3 story house in the woods. I put on gutter screens so I wouldn't have to do that again.
Never set a extension ladder on gutter, it could bend and make you fall plus ruin the gutter. I know from past experience!!

sometimes trees give off these things that grow other trees
that's a seed. It's called a seed.

Use a ladder standoff so you don't damage the eavestrough.

1:35 wow!! Maybe, I don’t know, a seed?
what is connection between gutters and water in basement ?
Water running down the side of the house right to the foundation. Gutters prevent this but if they are clogged water overflows.
The purpose of gutters is to redirect rainwater away from the house because a dry foundation is essential to the integrity of the stucture.
So you not only have plastic gutters but when the rain water pours out of the downpipe it flows directly on the ground next to the foundation or basement?
Maybe you want to consider leading it away a bit so it can seep away where it does no harm or even better lead it in some sort of sewerage system?
That's why it is graded around your foundation at a pitch so the water flows away from your house.
That would be the homeowners responsibility.
Can you just install oversized downspout outlets along with 6" downspouts on 5" gutters? That way,you get a self cleaning action when it rains.
Do you rake up the mess after you blow it out . Do you charge more to bucket the trash ?
1:32 if this man ever discovers seeds his minds gonna be blown
