Estimating Mirror

I would like share with you a great way to see what's going on in your eavestrough without needing to go up a ladder. This method we use in our estimating system is much safer and I hope someone may benefit from seeing this, homeowners and contractors alike.

We constructed it out of a basic mirror mounted on an expandable painters pole.

It's easy to handle and takes just a little practice to get the angle right. The picture makes it seem like the mirror is too far away to see but in reality, it works fine.

Its a great tool to see if you have debris in your eavestrough or problems with the edge of your shingles.

This is so much safer then going up 2 storeys on a ladder. We can observe things like standing water, how it's fastened, and the condition of the shingles on this Toronto home.
