Clogged gutters become water damage you pay for twice.
Overflowing gutters send water into breezeways, foundations and lower units — and the repair bill always costs more than the cleaning. Trash Chief cleans every building on a spring and fall schedule, hauls the debris off site on our own truck, and documents each building.
Northern Virginia's two gutter seasons
Mature trees around most garden-style communities drop seeds and pollen in spring and leaves in late fall. A single fall cleaning often isn't enough: by the time the last leaves drop, the first round has already clogged downspouts. We schedule a spring clean after seed drop and a late-fall clean after leaf drop.
Unlike many gutter crews, we don't leave bagged debris in your corral — it leaves the property on our truck the same day.
Gutter cleaning
Gutter cleaning is quoted per property based on linear footage, building height and access. Buildings that need lift access are identified and priced in the proposal before any work is scheduled.

Common questions
How often should apartment gutters be cleaned?
Twice a year for most Northern Virginia communities — spring after seed drop and late fall after leaf drop.
Do you clean gutters on three-story buildings?
Scope and access are confirmed during the survey. If a building needs lift access, it's priced in the proposal before work is scheduled.
Do you repair gutters?
We document damage with photos for your maintenance team or contractor; repairs are outside our scope.
