Photos adjusters actually want
Adjusters ask for: wide shot of the affected area with a reference object, close-up of the damage, opposite-side shot showing intact structure for comparison, and one photo of any prior gutter cleaning report or invoice.
Common questions
How long does gutter cleaning take in Clarington?
60–120 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Clarington?
Yes. Condo boards in Clarington typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Do you need a permit for gutter cleaning in Clarington?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Clarington. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
What warranty do you offer on gutter cleaning in Clarington?
Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
Is gutter cleaning covered by home insurance in Clarington?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
Do you offer same-day gutter cleaning in Clarington?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Clarington for most standard scopes.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
