★★★★★
Our gutters had not been touched since we bought the place. Mark found a downspout that had been packed solid for years and was pushing water into the crawl space. He showed me the photos before he fixed it.

Roof & gutters
Moss removal, gutter clearing, downspout flush
Rincon Valley ranch house. Two seasons of bay leaf and needle pack in the gutters, moss along the north face. Cleared by hand, downspouts flushed. Half a day.
Pressure washing
Driveways, patios, walkways, siding, fences
Fountaingrove driveway. Years of oil spotting and algae in the shaded half. Surface cleaner, then a rinse down to the street.
Yard clearing for fire season
Defensible space, dead brush, roof and gutter debris
Oakmont, first five feet. Juniper and bark mulch right against the wall, replaced with clear gravel. Two truckloads out.
Sonoma County, every summer
The stuff that catches is usually the stuff nobody can see.
Pine needles packed in a gutter, leaf litter on a low roof, dead juniper against a wall. It is the least visible part of the property and the first part to take an ember. Mark clears it, bags it and hauls it away, so it is off the lot instead of piled by the kerb.

- 02 The first five feet around the house opened up
- 03 Dead brush, ladder fuels and low branches cut back
- 04 Everything hauled off site the same day
03 / Free estimate
Tell Mark what is bothering you.
Three boxes and you are done. It goes straight to Mark's phone as a text and he calls you back, usually the same day. No fee, no pressure, no crew turning up uninvited afterwards.

Why people keep calling Mark back.
01
The person who quotes it is the person who does it
No sales visit, no subcontractor you have never met. Mark walks the property, tells you what he sees, then comes back and does that work himself.
02
The right pressure for the surface
Old redwood siding, painted stucco and a concrete driveway all want different things. Soft wash where soft wash belongs, so nothing gets stripped or etched.
03
Fire season is planned for, not reacted to
Roofs, gutters and the first five feet cleared before the dry months, and the debris hauled off the property rather than stacked by the road.
04
A price before he starts, and it holds
You get the number up front. If something underneath turns out worse than it looked, Mark stops and asks you first. Nothing shows up on the invoice as a surprise.
05 / The owner
“I have been cleaning houses in this county long enough that I get called back by the same families every year. I turn up when I say I will, I tell you honestly if something does not need doing yet, and I would rather do one house properly than three of them quickly.”
“Call me and ask. Even if it turns out I am not the right person for it, I will usually know who is.”

Three steps, and one of them is yours.
1
You ask
Fill in the form or call. Tell Mark roughly what is going on. Photos help but are not needed.
2
Mark takes a look
He comes out, walks the property and gives you a written price. You do not need to be home for it and you are not committing to anything.
3
He cleans it
Booked for a day that suits you. Debris hauled away, hoses coiled, gate shut behind him. You come home to it done.
07
What the neighbours say.
★★★★★
We had a week before the house went on the market. Mark did the driveway, the windows and the whole front elevation in a day and a half. The listing photos look like a different property.
★★★★★
He cleared the brush back off the slope behind our house before last summer and hauled every bit of it away. He also told us which two things could wait until next year, which nobody else has ever done.

The questions Mark gets asked most.
What is this going to cost me?
It depends on the size of the house, how many storeys, and how long it has been. That is exactly why the estimate is free and why Mark would rather come and look than guess over the phone. You get a written number before any work starts, and it does not move unless you ask for something extra.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mark carries liability insurance and is happy to send you the certificate before he starts. Ask for it, it is not a strange request.
Could the pressure washer damage my siding or my paint?
It can, in the wrong hands and at the wrong setting. That is the whole reason Mark looks at the surface first. Older redwood, stucco and painted trim get soft washed at low pressure with the cleaning done by the solution rather than the force. Concrete and stone can take considerably more. If a surface is too far gone to wash safely, he will tell you rather than take the job.
Do I need to be home?
No. Plenty of people leave a gate unlocked and come home to it finished. Mark will text you when he arrives and when he is done, with photos if you want them. If you would rather be there, that is fine too.
How long does a job take?
Gutters and a roof clear on a single storey house is usually a morning. A full exterior with windows, driveway and siding is normally a day, sometimes two on a larger property. Mark will tell you which when he quotes it.
How soon can you come out?
Estimates are usually within a couple of days. The work itself is normally within the week or two after that. Spring and the run up to fire season are the busy stretch, so if you are thinking about a summer clear out it is worth calling early.
Can you come back every year without me having to remember?
Yes, and most people end up doing that. Gutters twice a year, once after the leaves come down and once before the rain. Fire clearing in late spring. Mark keeps the list and calls you a couple of weeks beforehand to check the timing still suits you. There is nothing to sign and no charge for being on it.
What happens to all the debris?
It leaves with Mark. Green waste, needle pack, gutter muck and cut brush go on the truck and off the property the same day. It does not get piled by your kerb for you to deal with.
How do I pay?
After the work is done and you have looked at it, not before. Card, cheque or transfer, whichever is easier for you.
One call and it is off your list.
Free estimate, no obligation, and Mark on the other end of the phone rather than a call centre.
