Safe photo checklist

Photos Needed for a Gutter Review

Good photos help route the next step without pretending every condition can be diagnosed from a screen. Do not climb onto a roof, lean from an unsafe opening, or set a ladder only for website photos.

What to Send First

Photos help confirm project fit and route the practical next step. They are not a final diagnosis, engineering opinion, complete scope, or binding price.

  • One wide photo showing the full gutter run and roof edge
  • Close-up of the leak, seam, end cap, sag, separation, rust, or damage
  • Photo of the outlet and top of the downspout
  • Photo of the downspout route and ground-level discharge point
  • Photo of staining, peeling paint, damaged wood, stucco, erosion, or ponding below
  • Ground-level photo showing building height and access
  • Approximate length or tape-measure photo only when safely available
  • Short rain video only if you already have it and can record safely

Send Photos for Gutter Review

Send the property address, one wide photo of the gutter run, close-ups of the problem, the downspout and discharge point, and any staining or damage below. Detailed measurements, repair mapping, and a written bid package may require the $250 evaluation fee.

Do not climb onto a roof or unsafe ladder only to take photos. Send what can be photographed safely from the ground, a window, balcony, or existing safe access point.

Safety First

Do not climb onto a roof, lean from an unsafe opening, or set a ladder only for website photos. Ground, window, balcony, or existing safe access photos are enough to start routing.

Practical Questions

What photos should I send for a gutter review?

Send one wide photo of the full gutter run and roof edge, close-ups of the leak or damage, the outlet and top of the downspout, the downspout route, the ground-level discharge point, staining or damage below, and a ground-level access photo. Do not climb onto a roof, lean from an unsafe opening, or set a ladder only for website photos.

Can you price a small gutter repair from photos?

Useful photos may be enough to confirm fit, discuss a rough range, or identify the next step for a small visible condition. Final scope and price depend on measurements, access, pitch, attachment, material, surrounding construction, discharge, and hidden conditions.
