Gutters built for Bellingham rain.
Bellingham gets somewhere around 35 to 40 inches of rain a year, and most of it comes October to March in long steady soakers rather than quick downpours. That is the whole reason gutters matter so much here. Undersized or clogged gutters overflow constantly in that kind of rain, and overflow is what rots fascia and floods crawl spaces. We size every system for the water your roof actually sheds, from the flat lots near the bay to the steeper streets up toward the foothills.
We work the whole city, downtown, the hill neighborhoods near Western, the older homes in the lettered streets, and the newer subdivisions out east. The mix of housing here means no two jobs are the same: a 1910 bungalow with original 4-inch gutter needs a very different plan than a 2015 build out in Barkley. We measure, we size it right, and we tell you straight what your roof needs.
What we see on Bellingham homes.
Common home styles
Everything from early-1900s Craftsman bungalows and Victorians downtown to mid-century ranches and newer subdivisions on the east side.
Popular projects
Seamless gutter installation and replacement, gutter guards for conifer debris, fall and late-winter cleaning, and downspout and drainage work to protect older foundations.
Rain & debris considerations
The defining factor here is rain volume and conifer debris. We size gutters and downspouts for heavy, sustained rain and fit guards to the fir, cedar, and maple debris that clogs standard screens.
