Gutters for the Lettered Streets.

The Lettered Streets neighborhood, the grid of avenues lettered north of downtown, is one of Bellingham's most historic, packed with early-1900s homes on tight lots close together. Two things shape gutter work here: the original fascia and undersized gutter on these old homes, and the tight access between houses and to the street. The mature fir and maple along these blocks also drops a steady load of needles and seed into whatever gutter is up there.

A lot of the work here is replacement and fascia repair, since the original gutter is small and the wood behind it has usually softened from years of overflow. We work carefully on the close lots, protect the neighbors' property, and haul the old material out cleanly. We size the new gutter for the rain and fit guards where the tree load justifies it.

Lettered Streets gutter FAQ.

Can you work on the tight lots in the Lettered Streets?

Yes. The close-set historic lots here mean tight access between houses and to the street, and we are set up for it. We protect the neighboring property, stage carefully, and haul the old gutter and debris out cleanly. Tight access is just part of working this neighborhood, and it does not change the quality of the install.

Why does my Lettered Streets home have rotted fascia?

Because the original undersized gutter has been overflowing for years, and that water runs down the fascia and softens it. It is one of the most common things we find on these early-1900s homes. We replace the rotted fascia first, then hang new, properly sized gutter on solid wood. Fascia repair is priced by consultation.
