Know What’s Up There – How the COS Exterior Services Gutter Inspection Gives You Peace of Mind

Do you know what’s inside your gutters?

We could take a guess. If you’re in the Colorado Springs or Monument area, it’s probably a mix of leaves, dirt, and shingle grit. If you live in Black Forest, it’s probably pine needles. And more pine needles.

Our Gutter Inspection Process

Most homeowners don’t know what’s in their gutters and COS Exterior Services has a proven and comprehensive process to inspect your gutters. The process starts with you.

Once on-site, we’ll ask you questions about the gutters, such as if there have been any problems or recent issues like leaking. This information helps us understand the current state of your gutters. Next, we’ll walk around the home or building to assess the condition of the gutters and make note of things like extensions that have fallen off. (If you don’t know what an extension is, it is the metal part at the base of your downspouts that carries water away from the house and foundation. It’s super important!). But no gutter inspection can be truly complete from the ground.

Before going up, we will use tools like the Ladder’s Little Helper or Ladder Muffs. These tools, which are placed on or next to gutters, prevent scratches and keep the technician safer. Being safe while working on gutters is important.

End-to-End Review

The process from here is comprehensive. We will look at the gutters themselves and note any debris inside. Also, our inspection includes looking at downspout outlets, which are usually covered with dirt or leaves and can cause water to spill over the side of your gutters. A homeowner in Colorado Springs recently told us about this issue at her home and we were able to fix it by clearing numerous downspout outlets. Besides the gutters, we’ll also look at the debris on the roof, like sticks, which can cause problems with ice dams. In addition, we note any hangers, connections, or endcaps that need repairing.

What You Get – Including Peace of Mind

The final part of our inspection process is providing you with a report of what we’ve found, and an action plan of recommendations to remediate what issues we saw. In addition, we also provide extensive photos, so you can have confidence about the condition of your gutters.

The gutter inspection process from COS Exterior Services is comprehensive and done to inform you exactly what’s up there. It starts at $65 for a one story home. As you can see, there’s no need to guess who to call for your gutter cleaning this fall. It’s COS Exterior Services – the best gutter inspection (and cleaning) around.
