Gutter cleaning and inspection for Asheville real estate agents

Since Helene, buyers around Asheville are paying more attention than ever to where water goes in a heavy rain. A gutter inspection gives you photos to show your clients and a clear recommendation if anything needs fixing before closing.

Did a gutter issue turn up in the inspection report with the final walkthrough just days away? Call (828) 390-0243 with the property address, what the inspector flagged, and the date you need it handled. We’ll check the crew schedule and tell you what we can get done before your deadline.

What’s included in a gutter cleaning and inspection?

Cleaning and inspection. We clear debris and check how water drains through the gutters and downspouts. If the home inspector flagged a particular spot, send us that part of the report so we can check it during the cleaning visit.

A photo inspection packet you can share with your client. We show you where we found a problem, explain what’s causing it, and tell you whether we recommend a repair or replacement. If cleaning takes care of the issue, we’ll tell you that, too.

A replacement estimate when you need one. If we recommend replacing the gutters, we can send an estimate right away. That gives you and your client a documented cost to bring to negotiations, whether you’re asking the seller to handle the work or discussing a closing credit. If the seller requested the estimate and the buyer wants to go ahead after closing, just let us know. We can reissue the estimate in the new homeowner’s name so they can approve the work directly.

Set a repair limit before we arrive

You or your client can sign off in advance on a maximum dollar amount for repairs. If we find a small fix within that limit and have the materials on the truck, we can take care of it that same day while we’re at the house. A loose downspout connection, for example, may take one visit instead of two.

If the work would go over the signed amount or needs a return trip, we’ll explain what we found and get approval before doing the additional work.

Already know what the property needs?

For a specific leak or loose gutter, start with gutter repair. We go over repair estimates by phone. If the seller is replacing the system or the buyer wants a quote for after closing, we also offer free gutter installation estimates.
