NorCal Maintenance Inc. offers a variety of exterior maintenance services to residential and commercial clients in Sonoma, Napa, and Marin Counties. The company has the in-house capabilities to handle everything from gutter maintenance and pressure washing to roof and glass cleaning, and its “Peace of Mind Program” allows customers to schedule annual care based on their specific needs.
Owner David Stankas says NorCal Maintenance’s customer-oriented business practices have been crucial aspects of its success. “We love sharing our expertise with our clients and helping them complete their projects. They know that when they hire us, they’re getting knowledgeable professionals who are concerned about quality and have high integrity and morals.”
NorCal Maintenance is known for its straightforward approach to the estimate process, which Mr. Stankas says is important for establishing trust. “Whenever we do an estimate, we’re there to gather information from the client, not try to sell them something. We take the time to answer their questions and then go back to prepare their proposals, so there’s never any pressure. We just want to be 100 percent honest across the board.”
“We work hard to ensure each client receives white-glove service from beginning to end. We’ve built our reputation through hard work, dedication and word of mouth. Our goal on every job is to leave the property in better shape than when we arrived. ‘We guarantee peace of mind…let it rain…’ isn’t just our slogan—it’s our philosophy.”
Don’t underestimate the importance of gutter protection for your home or business.
Gutter systems are an important part of any roofing system—when they’re in good working order, they keep water flowing off of the roof and prevent leaks and other problems. One of the best ways to keep your gutter system working properly is to install protection like gutter covers, which are designed to prevent leaves, sticks, and other debris from gathering in and clogging your gutters and downspouts.
Before you decide to install gutter covers on your home, however, it’s important to determine the right product for your needs. “There isn’t one gutter cover that works best for every application,” cautions David Stankas, owner of NorCal Maintenance Inc. in Windsor. “Every application is different, from the type of material to the style of roof it’s designed for.”
To make sure you get the right gutter covers for your home, consider the following tips:
Learn about your options. Micro-mesh, mesh, reverse curve, surface tension, brush and foam gutter guards are just some of the products available. However, materials, installation, maintenance, longevity and recommended usage vary. Only a professional can help you find the right gutter covers for your home.
Think about your home’s unique needs. Some gutter guards are best for leaves, some are better for filtering out small debris like pine needles, some can prevent ice buildup and so forth. Before making a purchase, consider factors like your home’s microclimate, how your roof drains and what’s most likely to clog your gutters.
Choose quality. Mr. Stankas suggests contacting a gutter professional for professional-grade products rather than sourcing your own from home improvement stores. “We’ve had people tell us they don’t like gutter covers, but we know they probably had the wrong product installed on their home and it wasn’t working correctly,” he says. “A professional can find the right product for your needs and make sure it’s made of quality materials that will give you the best value over time.”
Maintaining customer satisfaction is a fundamental aspect of any business, but it’s even more important for gutter protection companies that have earned Diamond Certified. For NorCal Maintenance Inc., keeping clients happy comes down to two key factors: having high integrity and never cutting corners. “We do quality work and provide quality materials, and we’ve worked hard to earn a reputation for being good to our customers,” affirms owner David Stankas. “We do exactly what we say we’re going to do, and that’s why people love us.”
NorCal Maintenance has been providing exterior maintenance services for residential and commercial clients in Sonoma, Napa, and Marin Counties since 1984. The company is qualified to handle everything from gutter maintenance and pressure washing to roof and glass cleaning, and it also offers a “Peace of Mind Program” that lets customers schedule yearly care based on their specific needs.
Unlike less experienced gutter protection companies that underbid or charge less for inferior products and services, NorCal Maintenance is dedicated to offering fair prices and not upselling its clients. “We have no interest in being the lowest-priced company in town, but we’re the best priced for what we do,” says Mr. Stankas. “Our commitment to fair pricing begins at the estimating phase. When we come out to do an estimate, we’re there to gather information and answer questions, not sell the job. We’re always 100 percent honest and straightforward from the first time we meet a client.”
Ultimately, Mr. Stankas sees NorCal Maintenance’s wide-ranging expertise as its most important attribute. “No matter what we’re doing for our customers, we’re very conscientious of making sure the job is done perfectly,” he says. “Homes accumulate a lot of grime and mildew, so we’re proud to offer complete exterior maintenance services that fit together perfectly and keep our clients’ properties in good shape.”
