Gutter Cleaning Petit-Saint-Charles
Petit-Saint-Charles: two houses, two choices, ten years later
Picture two twin houses, built the same year, with the same trees. Just one difference: one has its gutters maintained, the other waits. An illustrative example, but we see both scenarios every day.
- Complete maintenance: roof blown off, gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared
- Included at no charge: fasteners, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers
- Proof: before/after photos and report
- Quote: online, no visit
House A waits
Years 1 to 3: nothing visible. Debris slowly builds up.
Years 4 to 6: the first overflows at the corners. The flower bed gets dug out under the gutter. One winter, big icicles.
Years 7 to 10: a section has sagged, a joint leaks, the siding is stained. In spring, a damp smell in the basement. The repairs begin, and they cost more than all the maintenance that could have been done.
House B maintains
Every year: gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared, a few hangers and joints adjusted along the way (up to 10 and 2, included). An extension sends the water onto the lawn.
After ten years: the gutters are straight, the foundation is dry, and there's a file of photos to prove it when it's time to sell.
The moral
The difference between A and B isn't the quality of the house. It's one appointment a year. Book yours.
