Leaves down,
gutters clear.

Clogged gutters are how a fall rain turns into a wet basement and a winter ice dam. I clean them by hand, flush every downspout, haul the debris away, and send you photos of your roof while I'm up there. If you want, I come back in November to hang your holiday lights.

No. 02 — Roof check

A look at your roof
before winter.

While I'm on the ladder I photograph the roof: missing or lifted shingles, flashing around the chimney and vents, moss, and anything that looks like it could leak this winter. You get the photos and a plain-English note.

Roof check with photo report (with gutter cleaning or on its own)Free photo quote
  • Photos of every roof slope I can safely see or reach
  • Chimney + vent flashing check
  • Plain-English summary by text or email
I inspect and photograph — I don't repair roofs. Illinois requires a state roofing license for roof repairs, and I don't hold one. If the photos show a problem, I'll connect you with a licensed Illinois roofer, free of charge.
No. 03 — Holiday lights

Holiday lights,
without the ladder drama.

Same ladders, same houses. I hang your lights along the gutters and roofline with plastic clips — no nails, no staples, no holes in your fascia — and take them down in January.

No. 04 — Book it

Send your address
and a photo.

Tell me what you need — gutters, a roof check, lights, or all three. A photo of the front of the house is usually enough for a quote. Fall slots fill up as the leaves come down.

Or write a few lines

I read everything that lands here.

Without the box checked, I'll reply by email only. I don't share your details with anyone, ever.
