Talk to me about gutter cleaning

Why does everyone say that laddering and scooping is the only to clean gutters?

Its like saying that you can’t use a pole to squeegee a window. I dont think people know how to manipulate around the nails with the scoop. Never have a problem. you need to use the obstruction to your advantage and you can use it as leverage.

Saves me time especially when it is gutters over another section of roof, or the like, and you really cant ladder it.

Would be easier to draw a picture😊 bit here goes.

Usually run into it with a dormer or a trelis/patio cover or a breakfast nook or more broadly landscaping.

Basically 20ft of gutter only 10ft ladderrable 5 ft either side of obstruction roof not walkable. Ladder the 5ft either side and pull stuff towards you witht he pole. I have a 24ft extension so have pretty good reach. Keeps you from going up and over.

Dormers are the worst steep roof and they are typically shakes so no way im going to walk it. Ladder up to the one end of it and pull towards you
