Services
Roofing
We provide comprehensive roofing solutions including installation, repairs, and maintenance. Our technicians handle everything from shingle replacement to complete roof tear-offs, ensuring proper flashing and pipe collar caulking. Regular maintenance prevents roof rot by removing debris from valleys, with optional gutter cleaning integration for added protection.
Gutter Cleaning
Our professional gutter cleaning service includes unclogging downspouts, debris removal, and free inspections of gutters, roof, and siding. We offer protection systems like aluminum screens and LeafBlaster Pro to minimize future debris accumulation, with seasonal cleaning recommendations based on tree coverage.
Pressure Washing
Using commercial-grade 3,000-psi equipment, we clean siding, brick, concrete, and decks to remove dirt and mold. Our technicians ensure consistent finishes while protecting property surfaces. We also offer deck sealing/staining services with multiple finish options for long-term wood protection.
Chimney Sweeping
Certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America, we provide chimney sweeping, inspection, and repairs. Services include creosote removal, masonry crown maintenance, and stainless steel chimney cap installation with lifetime guarantees. Annual inspections prevent fire hazards and water damage.
Window Services
We offer energy-efficient window solutions with vinyl double-pane and triple-pane options. Our installation crews provide consultations on energy savings potential, with proper installation techniques that maintain home aesthetics while improving thermal efficiency and reducing energy costs.

Report
Metro Gutter came on time and did an excellent job cleaning out my gutters. I have an old victorian house with high elevation and a turret. Their price is very reasonable and I highly recommend them.

Report
Do not use them for gutter services. They refuse to honor the terms listed in their own groupon. They will not allow appointments to be scheduled so you are expected to agree to the work being completed whether you're at home or not. Groupon customer support acknowledged several reports of this issue.
