Fall clean up (GENERAL UPDATE) 

 

**final update for the “long” fall season we had:

The very late October/November and into December fall clean-up period was very difficult for operations this season. It felt like it went on forever, and realistically, it did, but all due to bad weather off and on for the entire period, with a couple longer delays. We want to first of all thank our very patient customers this season. This happens. Bad weather or bouts of bad weather do happen during the fall season, and we only can live with it and deal with it while putting in 100% effort. The other tricky thing about this fall was how the leaves fell. We talked to many customers and it seems we are all on the same page of how weird trees dropped leaves and how slow they fell for the most part this season. Some trees that usually drop early, dropped later, and some trees that usually drop later, dropped earlier. This also made it very difficult on us, your service provider, because it seemed when we did get done with a particular fall clean up, the property would be dirty with leaves again within a few days. It is just what the trees decided to do this season (not CNR), and there was nothing we could do about it. The rate trees lose their leaves in the fall has nothing to do with how we complete our operations. We cannot wait until the end to get 14-17 days of clean-ups done. C N’R and friends in business always start later October and trying and get through all customers at least one time by the time Thanksgiving hits. We technically accomplished this for this particular season, but also Thanksgiving was really late this year.

To give you a quick idea on how the timeline looked this fall season, we will list it here:
10/29 & 10/30: Started to do some clean-ups although plenty of trees still had leaves up
10/31 (Halloween): snow, shut down until 11/7.
11/8 -11/12: able to work full days, but it was very windy at times
11/13: shut down early due to rain
11/14 - 11/17: able to work, but very slow going and very wet and it was not drying out
11/18: shut down early, heavier rain moved in
11/19: shut down first half of day, did some work during afternoon, but still super wet
11/20: snow showers most of day - tried to do some work in the afternoon, but was not good conditions
11/21: coating of snow on ground, did some work, but again, conditions with snow on ground to work in
11/22-11/27: able to work full days, but the conditions were not good to start with, but slowly improved over time.
11/28-12/1: C N’R OFF due to the holiday, all “first round” clean-ups were finally done.
Week of 12/2 was a rough week. We did get back out a bit, but we had 2 small snow events.
Week of 12/9: able to get out and get enough “2nd round” clean up work done before brutally cold and snowier conditions moved in
As you can see, very choppy, very frustrating. But, in the end we feel we did the best possible job on all properties. There were a handful of great customers that we were trying to get back to, but ran out of time, and those customers were personally emailed by C N’R, because communication is #1!

Again, thank you so much for your business and patience this fall season! We will see you in the spring of 2025!

Fall Gutter Cleaning LATEST UPDATE

UPDATED MONDAY, DECEMBER 2:

This will be the final update of the season for gutter cleaning. We have been keeping you posted right here on our plans for gutter cleaning, but due to many weather complications through the month of November, we were not able to finish all gutter cleaning jobs. At the time of this update, everything is frozen and/or there is snow/frost on roofs, and we deeply apologize we were not able to finish this service this season.

Is this unusual? No, it does happen. We try not to complete gutter cleaning jobs too early to prevent later falling leaves from plugging them right away again. And when our first little snowfall fell on Halloween, we were shut down for a week, and thereafter the weather was up and down and we just could not get all jobs done. We have been holding onto hope until now and again, things are just too frozen to continue to think we can get this service completed.

All customers have been notified via email. We recommend re-signing up for fall gutter cleaning next spring (spring of 2025) and we can get this service caught up for you.

Thank you for your patience.

 

COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES (businesses, apartment, town-homes, etc)

UPDATED WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27:

All properties that fall in this category have been completed this season. Our plan is to “touch up” a couple properties that have had enough late fallen leaves for a “2nd round” clean up during the week of December 2nd. If you have further questions, please EMAIL CRAIG.
