Today it hit 62 degrees with no wind. We did another small roof and then the customer asked us to blow the leafs. Another $200 added to the bill.

This time of year I always carry a hand held for gutters and my big Echo PB 755T back pack in the back of the truck. God knows I have the room.

Got one scheduled for next Friday.
So far not looking good as the high is expected to be 38. It usually changes in 7 days.

I still have three roofs, a house wash and gutters to do. Time to break out the long johns.

Soon I start putting everything away. Then the phone will ring and someone will want something cleaned. Happens every year.

Mario · Approved Exterior Cleaner

I'm going to start winterizing my fleet tomorrow. Sucks that it's almost over.

Dave O · Retired Member

Just received three inquiries yesterday.

Art O · Approved Exterior Cleaner

I think this may just about be the End of the season here. It's not looking good going forward.

Today we were snowed out in Vernon, NJ. They had one inch of snow on the roofs. The temps warmed up a bit late today to melt the snow. I'll go back tomorrow and get it done. The trip was not a waste as I got to see some of my fishing buddies from that area and checked on something else.

We starting at 12 now. it went to freezing last night, sent the guys out at 40 degrees today to do a wash and 3 gutter cleans, the wash went well.

Roof Cleaning Virginia · Approved Exterior Cleaner

We'll be winterizing almost every night now I guess. I stocked up on windshield washer fluid and broke out my veteran ID for an extra 10% savings. I hate the cold, but I do like money. We'll gear up accordingly.

Dan Dykstra · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Season is over, 12 inches of snow on the ground, forecast calls for snowfall everyday next week with temps in the 20 - 30's. This is way to early for winter to be here.

BlueRidge · Approved Exterior Cleaner

With the deep freeze here for a week or so we have winterized but starting 11/22 (if the extended forecast is right) we will go back out and try to get the 12 jobs done we have left. Some require water while others are just gutter filters. A day here and there will most likely gut us into the middle of December and then we will turn off the lights til March.

gutterdog · Approved Exterior Cleaner

we went till January first last year, or about. Before we closed up for 3 months. Hope we can do that again this year.

Yesterday while we were working in New Jersey the phone was blowing up in my pocket. Since I was spraying I waited a half hour until I was finished and then checked the calls. Back in September I bid a gutter clean out and flush for a 10 building townhouse association. They called and I was awarded the contract. Of course it has to been done right away. Another call was from a new homeowner who wants the roof and siding cleaned, the gutters cleaned out/flushed and the leaves blown off the property into the woods. Two more calls were from homeowners wanting their gutters cleaned out(both need a 40' ladder). All gave me approval based on our quotes. This combined with other small jobs will close out November on a high(er) note. Now if I can just talk mother nature into being a little flexible with her temps.
