Sunday Best-Of: The Great Gutter Walkout

We're re-running one of the week's most-watched: the afternoon Kansas City's gutters detached from the fascia at approximately 4:47 PM, unfurled tiny legs, and began marching across the lawn carrying picket signs. The Totally Real News Network has independently verified every frame as 100% real. Their demands, sources say, include "fewer leaves" and "a living wage." The dachshund in the hard hat was brought back in as union negotiator — though talks stalled again when he ate one of the protest signs.

Real talk for KC homeowners: your gutters won't actually unionize — but they CAN quit on you, usually in October. Clogged gutters dump roof runoff straight onto your fascia and foundation instead of away from the house, and that's how you get rotted fascia boards, basement moisture, and winter ice dams.

Check yours this week: scoop out the leaves, run a hose through the downspouts to confirm they drain, and look for sections sagging or pulling away from the house — that's the gutter equivalent of a picket sign.

We do roofing, siding, windows, and gutters.

Know someone who needs roofing, siding, windows, or gutters? $500 cash when they sign.
