    LOL!!! I dont care how good they suck or how much. Cant do the downspouts. You dont have nuthing with just clean gutters and clogged downspouts? That a no brainer??? So IMHO they are worthless for cleaning gutters?

    What I mean is if the downspout is clogged how would you clean it? Other than settin a ladder? The clog is rarely at the bottom elbow, 1 in 20? Could run a snake up it. I have one for that Used it a couple times. Just use the snake for other stuff now. Since the clog is at the top most times it has to be addressed there. Usually some tapping on the elbow or section of ds where the clog is and it shoots. then drop a penny to make sure its all the way clean. Thats how we do it. The vac???? using the vac and you come accross a clogged DS what do you do?

    Hey Brian! Thats the reverse how i test the downspout! The clog is usually at the top between the 2 elbows. So a ladder would have to be set.

  10. You get what you pay for...

    This is kinda the same and not. 'Bout a month ago I had an estimate for a gutter clean in prob the richest neighborhood in PG county. Never been in there. Gated comunity, he wrote down my tag and all. Kept tellin my helper THIS is where we want to be etc!!! The houses freakin huge!!! Got to the house. Walked around it a bird flew outa one of the gutters (it had a cheap gutter guard, no end caps) The guard was cut short here and too long there, spikes coming out... I knew I wasnt gonna get this job because I would be too much. Judging by what he bought etc... He was a tight wad. The roof had thick moss on it....lol!!! Somethin said to just not bother with it! LOL

  15. Some old knowledge

    Dealin with a lot of gutter cleaning right now. Phone ringing of the hook... Messages full in phone. Not ready to buy nuther truck yet and crew. This the wisdom given to me from some one years ago. Heck I forgot who told me. There are 3 things the customer can choosed from. He can only choose 2 of the 3. 1. cheap price 2. quality 3. served tomorow the customer can choose the cheap price and quality job buy aint gettin done tomorow. The customer can choose quality and served tomorow... It wont be cheap. The customer can choose cheap price and served tomorow but it will be a rush job and lower quality any thoughts or variations on this? Also a customer told me once. This musta been a real long time ago. The price has to be fair to the homeowner and the contractor. Fair to you and him.
  16. Some old knowledge

  17. Some old knowledge

  18. Found this happened to my truck last night, this morning, lol!!! I turned it into a goood thing. I spent all day replacing the tools, most of them. Had the truck detailed and glass getting replaced tomorow morning, alarm being installed next rainy day! I shouldve asked how much to include the ladders with the detail, lol!!! Here the pic i took this morning. (heres an after thought. After robbing me they couldve closed the door all the way and saved my battery some juice, lol)
  19. What do YOU do, when this happens! lol!!

    thought you repaired them as a hobby?
  20. My minds in the gutter...

    you working with home depot gutter....Yuk! Sorry. I know the seam things. The guage of the gutter is a thin .027. The coil it is made from is cheap. Very low gloss. 28 feet with those seamers would fall apart on you trying to take it down in one piece. Keep the tubes inside the house where its warm. Do the finger application of the silicone. after that zip screw the seamer to the gutter.
  21. Do what I was told to do. Go through the old posts. Throw away that brush!
