Gutter cleaning before the next storm fills them
A gutter packed with leaves is a trough of standing water hanging off your fascia. It overflows at the first hard rain, rots the wood behind it, and in January it freezes into a block of ice that pulls the hangers loose.
The crew clears each run, flushes it to make sure water moves toward the downspout, and checks that every downspout is open at the bottom. A clog at an elbow gets cleared while they are there.
Tulsa gutters fill on a schedule. Oak tassels and maple seeds in April and May, pecan and sweetgum leaves from October into December, and shingle grit all year. Two cleanings a year, late spring and late fall, keeps ahead of it. One in late fall is the minimum.
While the gutters are open, small problems show themselves: a corner that is weeping, a hanger that has let go, a run that holds water. Those get noted so you know about them before they turn into fascia rot.
Cleaning is priced by phone like everything else. Leave your address, tell Jose one story or two and what trees are over the house, and he calls the same day with the price.

Questions people ask
How often should gutters be cleaned in Tulsa?
Twice a year on a lot with mature trees: once after the oak tassels drop in late spring, once after the leaves finish in late fall. A newer neighborhood without big trees can usually get by with one cleaning before winter.
Do I need to be home?
No. The work is outside. Leave your address, Jose calls with the price, and the crew comes on the day you agree on. If a gate needs unlocking, say so in the note on the form.
Can I get a cleaning price over the phone?
Usually, yes. Leave your address and Jose calls the same day. He asks how tall the house is and what trees are over it, and gives you the price on that call. If a run turns out to be damaged when the crew is on the ladder, he tells you before anything beyond the cleaning happens.
