Exterior & Seasonal in Los Angeles

Gutters first, in October, while the debris from the summer is still dry and bags easily. Then wash what you are washing, because a clean roofline drops grit onto whatever you cleaned. Sprinklers get checked at the same visit, since the controller wants a new schedule for the wet months anyway. Lights go up last, in the second half of November, on clips that are already on a clean fascia.

Often, yes. Run each zone while we watch: a broken lateral shows as a wet patch that never dries, a cracked riser as a geyser, and a valve that fails to close as a zone that trickles all night long after the controller went off. Those we repair. If nothing shows in the zones and the meter still turns with everything off, the leak is on the main and that is a plumber.

For most exterior work, no. We need access to the yard, the gate code or an unlocked side gate, and a hose bib with the water on. Tell us where to leave the invoice and we will send photos of what came out of the gutters. Anything that needs a decision, like a fascia board we find soft under the gutter, we call you before touching.

We run efficient equipment and keep the work to the surfaces you asked for, which is where most of the water goes. Check your own district before booking, because restrictions here are set locally and they change from year to year. If washing is off the table that season, the gutters and the roofline check are not, and that is the part that matters before the rain anyway.

We move the booking, no charge. Washing in the rain is pointless, lights on a wet roofline are unsafe, and gutter debris turns to sludge that costs you more to remove. Winter in LA gives us plenty of dry days between storms, and we will offer you the first one.
