Please make a request (prior to the job) for these services individually. Please don’t assume that we’ll do something only because we see a necessity for it.

2. Bird nest removal:
The budget cleaning package doesn’t include nest removal anymore. Normally, we charge $49 – $149 per nest.
If you purchase Value or Premium cleaning packages, we’ll remove bird nest(s) WITHIN THE BUILDINGS that we are getting done, with no additional charges. Unless we have to take something apart (soffit, dryer’s vent, etc). If the nest is in a tree but safely reachable from the buildings, we can remove it too. The nest must not contain eggs or young birds at the time of removal, by bylaw regulations. Additionally, we are not permitted to disturb endangered bird species in any way. We do not remove nests automatically – you must request this service in advance (prior to the job). If you would like us to return after the cleaning to remove a nest, a service call charge will apply.
Please note: 1 big nest or 2 small nests are included free of charge. Please note: Insects’ and animals’ nests are not included in this offer.
4. Blowing or cleaning roofs or valleys:
5. Wiping or rinsing gutters on the inside or outside (the Cosmetic Clean):
Our primary focus is gutter cleaning (not washing). Specifically, it’s the removal of debris, clogs, and obstructions to ensure proper water flow. Think about it this way: you need a paved road to get home, and it doesn’t really matter if the pavement is not washed, as long as there are no traffic jams, you’ll get home. We will remove all the ‘traffic jams’ on your road.
While we can also provide services such as rinsing, washing, or wiping upon request, please note that these additional cosmetic services are not part of our standard cleaning package. Yes, we can make your gutters shiny on the inside or outside but we have to charge for it.
6. Post-construction clean:
Post-Construction Clean is needed when roofers didn’t clean old roof remains, nails, and shingle granules from eavestoughs. A good roofing company usually includes gutter cleaning in their package. However, sometimes it’s an add-on service, which you have to inquire about. Even if your current roof has been there for a while, it doesn’t mean that the gutters were cleaned properly after the construction.
7. Cleaning underneath any gutter guards or covers:
Cleaning gutters with gutter guards installed will cost more due to the added labor and time required for cleaning, the complexity of cleaning trapped debris, increased safety measures and equipment, the need for specific maintenance knowledge, and the potential voiding of guard warranties without proper upkeep. The costs can vary based on factors such as guard type, property size, location, and service provider choice. While the gutter guards (or covers) reduce cleaning frequency, regular maintenance remains essential for optimal system functionality but will cost more in this situation.
8. Gutter debris removal from site:
The debris from your gutters & downspouts will be disposed of in your green and black garbage bins. If you don’t want that, please let us know before the appointment, and we can haul it away for an additional charge.
9. Trimming branches above gutters:
One of the best things you can do to protect your gutters is to trim any overhanging branches — and we’re happy to help with that.
However, please note that we are not professional arborists, so there are a few limitations:
–Height & Thickness: We’re limited to branches that are safely reachable from the ground or roof. This means we can only trim light to medium-sized branches.
–Heavy Trimming: For large or high branches, or any major tree work, we recommend contacting a professional tree service.
–Disposal: We don’t carry specialized equipment for on-the-spot branch disposal. If the trimmed branches don’t fit in your green bin, we can either dispose of them for an additional fee or leave them neatly stacked near your garbage area.
11. Checking screws & gutter spikes:
We will visually check downspout screws & gutter spikes. We will adjust those that need attention and are safely accessible.
12. Re-attaching downspouts:
