What gutter problems are common in Schofield?
Where trees hang over the roof, clogged gutters and downspouts top the list. Gutters that have been through many winters show their age: loose hangers, opened seams and sections bent by ice. Houses close to the lake and river need downspout water carried away from the foundation rather than left to pool.
Typical work in Schofield
- Guards to keep seeds and leaves out
- Re-hanging and resealing older gutters

Who handles permits?
