Project Ideas

Business

Gutter Cleaning & Guard Installation

Offer seasonal gutter clearing, downspout flushing, and guard installation. The 28 ft reach covers most two- and some three-story homes; steel swivel shoes provide stability on mixed surfaces, and the heavy-duty rating supports carrying tools and debris buckets.


Holiday & Event Light Hanging

Provide installation, takedown, and storage of holiday lights and event décor. The rope-and-pulley enables quick height changes along rooflines, while the non-conductive fiberglass adds safety when working near service drops. Upsell custom design and timer setup.


Exterior Property Inspections

Serve realtors, insurers, and property managers with photo/video documentation of roofs, eaves, chimneys, and siding. Combine with a 360 camera or thermal camera add-on. The RungLock system and slip-resistant rungs support frequent repositioning across sites.


Small-Scale Tree Pruning & Canopy Care

Offer pruning of low-to-mid canopy branches, deadwood removal, and storm prep on residential lots. Use spike-position shoes on soil for stability, and bundle services with debris haul-away. Position as a lower-cost alternative to arborist crews for minor work.


Signage & Exterior Maintenance

Install and maintain storefront signs, awnings, security cameras, and exterior paint touch-ups for small businesses. The 375 lb capacity supports carrying fasteners, small fixtures, and a drill. Offer retainer plans for quarterly checks and quick fixes.

Creative

Neighborhood Mural Day

Use the ladder to safely reach second-story walls and tall facades to paint a community mural. The rope-and-pulley and RungLock system make height adjustments smooth between artists. The slip-resistant D‑rungs help when working with paint trays, and the non-conductive fiberglass is safer near overhead lines on urban streets.


Tree Canopy Lantern Walk

Create a magical evening path by hanging solar lanterns and string lights high in trees and along eaves. The steel swivel safety shoes can switch to spikes for soft soil around trees, and the 28 ft reach lets you stagger lights at varied heights for depth and drama.


Vertical Garden and Trellis Install

Install tall trellises, wall planters, and gutter-style herb beds on fences or garage walls. The outside slide guides and quick latch make precise placement easy as you move along a long span. Perfect for creating a living wall without renting scaffolding.


Habitat Corridor: Bird & Bat Boxes

Mount birdhouses and bat boxes at species-appropriate heights across your property to support pollination and pest control. The ladder’s 375 lb rating accommodates carrying tools and boxes, and the serrated rungs keep footing secure during careful fastening.


Pop-up Rooftop Cinema

Set up a lightweight projection screen at gable height and route cable clips neatly along the eaves. The non-marring hand grip helps with repositioning, and the wrap-around shoe design provides traction on hard surfaces when aligning the screen frame.
