Just over $1,000. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 child) Jesus. That is an insane amount of money for that unless you live in a 5000+ sf. house. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Part of the penalty of not being able to do it myself. :( If we had a moss problem, they would treat that too, but the roof is only a year old. :) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Did you get a few quotes? The gutter cleaners near me charge less than $300 and I have a two story house. It's close to upper $100s if only one story. Shop around and save yourself the coin unless that's not an issue for you. I imagine hanging lights shouldn't be that expensive unless it's the first time and they are installing light hooks to be reusable each year. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Oh yeah, it wasn't this bad when we started using them 2 years ago, but inflation is hitting everything. permalink fedilink source parent
