Signs to watch
Is this you?
You only notice the gutters when they overflow
By the time water is pouring over the edge, the clog has been building for months. A gutter is easy to keep working and expensive to fix once it's been neglected through a wet season.
Evergreen needles and debris pack the runs
PNW firs and cedars drop fine needles year-round that mat into a dense clog even guards don't fully stop. Without a schedule, that debris just accumulates until the water can't move.
You've got guards but don't know if they're working
Gutter guards reduce cleaning; they don't eliminate it. Needles and grit still get through and build up underneath, so guarded gutters still need periodic inspection to confirm they're actually flowing.
No record of what's been done or what's coming
Without documentation, small issues — a loosening hanger, a slightly flattening pitch — go unrecorded until they're a failure. A maintained log catches the drift before it becomes a repair.
Your options
A schedule, not a scramble
Each visit we clear the gutters and downspouts, check and clean guards, verify the pitch still drains, clear the outlets where water actually concentrates, and repair small leaks and loose hangers before they grow. You get documentation of what we found and did every visit — photos and notes — so you have a record and a heads-up on anything trending toward a real repair. We time the cadence to PNW seasons, so the system is cleared and checked before the heavy-rain months, not after the first backup.
The method
How we do it
- 01
Set the cadence to your property
Tree cover and roof layout decide how often — heavy evergreen debris means more frequent visits. We set a schedule that fits the property and the seasons, not a generic once-a-year.
- 02
Clean, inspect, and clear each visit
Gutters and downspouts cleared, guards checked, pitch verified, outlets opened — and small leaks or loose hangers fixed on the spot before they become bigger jobs.
- 03
Document and flag what's next
You get photos and notes each visit, plus an honest heads-up on anything trending toward a repair, so nothing fails as a surprise.
Straight numbers
How plan pricing works
Maintenance plan cost depends on the home — linear footage, height and access, how much tree debris you deal with, and how often the property needs a visit. Small repairs handled during a visit are simpler and cheaper than the failures they prevent. We set the cadence and scope to your property and price it against that, so you're not paying for visits you don't need or skipping ones you do.
Where we do this work
Gutter Maintenance Plans: straight answers
How often should PNW gutters be serviced?
It depends almost entirely on tree cover. A home under firs and cedars can need clearing two or more times a year because evergreen needles drop constantly, while an open lot might be fine annually. We set the cadence to your actual debris load rather than a one-size number, and time visits ahead of the wet season.
I have gutter guards — do I still need maintenance?
Yes, just less of it. Guards cut down how much gets in, but fine PNW needles and grit still work through and build up underneath, and the guards themselves collect debris on top. Periodic inspection confirms the guarded system is actually flowing instead of quietly clogging where you can't see it.
What's included in a maintenance visit?
Clearing the gutters and downspouts, checking and cleaning guards, verifying the pitch still drains, clearing the outlets, and repairing small leaks and loose hangers we find. You also get documentation — photos and notes — of what we found and did, plus a flag on anything heading toward a real repair.
Why bother scheduling it instead of calling when there's a problem?
Because by the time there's a visible problem, the damage — overflow at the foundation, a rotting fascia board, a run pulled loose by debris weight — is already underway. Scheduled maintenance is cheap insurance; the crisis call that replaces it is not. Catching the small stuff on a cadence is the whole point.
