1. Painting – Of course Spring cleaning and making things look new is a priority for business owners and home owners. Most professional painters use bucket trucks to safely and quickly paint at heights. Call a pro painter today!

2. Sign and Light Installation/Repair – Along the lines of Spring cleaning, sign and light guys often find themselves working over time during the Spring and Summer. Severe storms often damage signs/lights during this time of year. Replacing or updating business signs is popular this time of year because people are outside more.

3. Repairing/Replacing Electric lines or poles – Electric linemen, especially those located in the North, use the Spring and Summer to repair or replace damage done to poles, lines, boxes, and other components. Working on electric lines is difficult and the conditions available in the Spring or Summer definitely help get jobs done.

4. Photography – What better time than the Spring and Summer to get up in a bucket truck and snap some photos at heights. Most photographers rent bucket trucks… remember, you have to have commercial insurance to rent a bucket truck.

5. Cleaning Gutters – More than likely, you’re going to get a storm and if you haven’t cleaned your gutters, you’re probably going to regret it. Clogged gutters are difficult to clean, add extra weight, and can cause tons of extra problems. For higher houses or buildings, professionals used bucket trucks to safely remove debris from gutters.
