good thread. i did 6 gutter jobs yesterday. two took an hour and a half (one was unwalkable, one was walkable but had 260 linear feet 100% clogged and 50% frozen), one took half an hour (walkable but 3 clogged downspouts) and 2 of them took 10-15 minutes. I will definitely be trying to get the quicker ones on a contract. How do you do contract cleaning with gutters. spring summer fall? twice in the fall? just hope they call you when they need it?

another tip, work from the top down if your blowing them out. sounds like common sense but i wasn't thinking and had to do a lower section twice yesterday.

Verry good! Lots of guys are great at cleaning gutters. Not many are good at cleaning downspouts!

 If you did a good job they will all be quick ones next year. Teach them the importance of clean gutters like a clean roof!
