Typical....

You should try and get you a ladder standoff/stabilizer. Protects the gutters from scratches and are much safer than a sliding ladder across slippery aluminum. I agree, people who don't properly maintain their gutters should just remove them.

Hope you charged the homeowner to clean the gutters out!

Jeff, I agree....I need one.
Do they make them transferable from ladder to ladder? Or once its bolted on is it there for good?

Mine go on and off with thumb screws ….it not really fast but it makes the ladder a better mouse trap…..

Never give the gutters away for free! I know gutter cleaners that have a 100.00 minimum charge, some charge more! Don't work for free

Werner Quick Click. about $40.00 at Lowes. On and off very easily. Jeff

On my door hangers Offer a special of a "Free Roof Blow and Gutter Cleaning" with purchase of a roof wash. Its something I typically charge for, or use as a deal sealer to ink the job.

I know most people don't disclose their prices, but I will for discussion sake!

For example this job here:

225 Roof

200 house wash

150 Concrete

100 Gutter & Blow

50 Roof

Total of $725, however in this neighborhood, with these customers, there was NO WAY i could get $725.....I've got competition who would gladly do it at 1/2 that price.

I offered them a package deal at just less than $500...they were happy and jumped on the deal.

I was happy, as I still ran my rig in a profitable manner.

BTW, they just called on getting their roof gutters cleaned, so in my mind I added another $200-$250 to the bottom line of this appointment!

That looks like a lot of the Roofs we have been Cleaning lately. One of them took my guy 50 minutes to blow all the debris off. Not to mention Cleaning and blowing off the mess on the ground.

Always figure they are going to need their gutters cleaned, always. Stand offs for ladders. The 24 is bolted on and I paid 50-75 for one that goes on and off for the 40 ft. at Lowes or Depot. On combine deals, like a house, roof and concrete wash or whatever I tel them the regular price for each take off some cash for the combine deal, and ask to do up a contract NOW.
