Shaver Lake gutter cleaning before the snow flies

If you own a cabin at Shaver Lake, you already know the pines never stop dropping. Needles slide down the roof, pile up in the valleys and pack into gutters until they turn into a dense, wet mat. Cones and small branches jam the outlets. Once that happens, rain and snowmelt have nowhere to go. Water spills over the edge, soaks the fascia, splashes mud onto siding and pools near the foundation. In cold weather, a gutter full of wet debris can freeze solid, and ice can build up along the edge of the roof.

We clean gutters by hand, scooping out needles, cones and sludge and bagging it as we go. Roof valleys get cleared so the next storm doesn’t wash a fresh load straight back in. Every downspout is flushed with water to make sure it drains freely. While we’re up there, we look for sagging runs, loose sections and seams pulling apart, and we tell you what we saw so you can plan any repairs. The debris leaves with us, so you won’t find soggy piles of needles around the cabin afterward.

Fall is the most important cleaning of the year up here. Getting needles out before the first real snow gives meltwater a clear path all winter. Homes under heavy pines often need a second visit in late spring once the snow is gone. Since fall fills up fast, it helps to call early. You don’t need to be at the cabin, as long as we can safely reach every side of the roofline. We work 7 days a week from 5am to 10pm, we carry a license and insurance, and estimates cost nothing. If we miss anything, we’ll come back and take care of it.
