Well, I am about to call a chimney sweep. In addition to their sweep duties apparently they also function as gutter cleaners and do generally contracting work. People on Next door all liked them. I have overhanging branches that I best get rid of before they come out to evaluate my house for new home insurance. I hope they don't refer me elsewhere. I also hope it is not a billion dollars. If it is, I might have to look for alternatives. Wish me luck, and have a great day today!

I hope it will not be extremely expensive.

I hope so, but it won't be cheap..Climbing up on a huge ladder to trim those overhanging branches is dangerous and it isn't going to be inexpensive.

@LadyDuck Yeah,if it was just the gutters without any branches that need to be trimmed it would be about that.

@snowy22315 We had the chimney sweeper coming last week. He cleaned the fireplace, got up on the roof to check that no tiles were broken and he cleaned the gutters. Last time his visited costed $ 200, I suspect it will be the same.

Here’s hoping it comes in less than you anticipate.

Yeah, it isn't going to be cheap unfortunately, but I need to have the property spiffed up before they come to check for homeowners insurance. Thank you

It can be hard to find someone to do these odd jobs. There used to be a group here called House-Husbands who did all these sorts of odd jobs. Good luck with finding someone.

I am going to have to hire more of an actual business I think..Small businesses are not likely to have the right equipment..but who knows? I know this Chimney Sweep business doesn't take credit cards and that is a problem.

We have people often asking, (online)if they can clean our gutters! We don't even have a home and trailer's don't have gutters:(
