Gutter Cleaning

The cost depends on the length of your gutters, the height and number of storeys of your home, the roof pitch, and how much debris has built up. Homes under tall trees or with steep roofs take longer. We give you a free written price before any work begins, so you know the total up front.

Late fall is the most important time, after the leaves have dropped and before the heavy winter rains begin. Homes under evergreens, or with maples, oaks and alders nearby, often need a second cleaning in spring to clear needles, seeds and moss.

Common signs are water spilling over the gutter edge during rain, gutters sagging or pulling away from the fascia, plants or moss growing in the gutters, and puddles or soil erosion near the foundation. Water stains on siding or fascia boards are another sign that water is not draining properly.

Yes. When gutters overflow, water backs up under the roof edge and rots the fascia boards and roof decking. It can also pour down against siding and pool around the foundation, which can lead to basement leaks. On the coast, steady winter rain makes blocked gutters a bigger risk than in drier parts of BC.

Gutter guards reduce how often gutters need cleaning, especially under trees that drop large leaves. They do not stop fir and cedar needles, moss and fine debris completely, so gutters with guards still need checking and occasional cleaning. We can tell you whether guards make sense for your home.

Yes. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts to make sure water flows freely to the ground or drain. We also remove the debris from your property and do a visual check of the roof edges while we are up there.

At least once a year, usually in late fall after the leaves drop. Homes under tall trees often need a second cleaning in spring.
