Gutter channel cleaning
The core question is which gutter sections are included and what accumulated material will be removed.
Downspout and outlet checks
Ask whether outlets or downspouts are checked, flushed or otherwise assessed. Do not assume every “gutter cleaning” quote includes the same drainage work.
Debris handling
Clarify what happens to removed leaves and material and whether the immediate work area is cleaned afterward.
Gutter guards
Guard systems can change the scope because the guard surface and the channel beneath it may require different attention.
Inspection vs repair
A service visit may reveal loose hangers, separated seams, corrosion, detached sections or other issues. Those should be identified as repair needs, not silently folded into cleaning.
What to confirm before booking
Ask what is included, what is excluded, whether downspouts are checked, how debris is handled and how separate repairs are priced.
