Gutter cleaning, done by hand.

Gutter cleaning in Bellingham is not a once-and-done thing, because Douglas fir, cedar, and big-leaf maple drop something just about all year. We hand-clean the gutters and downspouts, bag the debris, then run water through to make sure everything flows to the outlets. While we are up there we check the hangers and seams so a small problem does not turn into a sagging run.

A typical single-family home takes one to three hours. The smart cadence here is to clean before the fall leaf drop and again in late winter, so your gutters are clear going into the two heaviest rain stretches. If the gutters are too far gone to be worth cleaning, we will tell you straight and quote a repair or replacement instead.

What it actually costs.

How we clean gutters.

1. Hand-clear the gutters

   We pull leaves, needles, and grit out by hand and bag the debris, not blow it all over your yard.

2. Clear the downspouts

   We flush and clear the downspout elbows where fir needles love to pack in.

3. Flush-test the flow

   We run water through the whole system to confirm it drains to the outlets.

4. Check hangers and seams

   We look over the hangers and corners and flag anything that needs a repair.

Why hire a gutter crew.

• Hand-cleaned and bagged, not blown across your yard
• Downspout elbows cleared, where the real clogs hide
• Flush test confirms water actually drains
• Hanger and seam check catches problems early
• Honest call if you need repair instead of cleaning

Frequently asked questions.

How much does gutter cleaning cost in Bellingham?

For a typical single-family home, gutter cleaning runs $150 to $400. The price depends on the linear footage, whether it is a one-story or two-story home, how packed the gutters are, and the roof pitch. Every cleaning includes a flush test and a quick check of the hangers and seams, so you also find out if anything needs a repair.

How often should I clean my gutters in the PNW?

Twice a year for most Bellingham homes: once before the fall leaf drop and again in late winter. Our conifers drop needles year-round, so homes under heavy fir, cedar, or maple cover sometimes need a third clean. Keeping the gutters clear going into the two heaviest rain stretches is what prevents overflow and fascia rot.

Can you tell if my gutters need replacing?

Yes. While we clean, we check the hangers, seams, slope, and fascia. If the gutters are sagging, leaking at multiple joints, or pulling off rotted fascia, we will tell you straight and quote a repair or replacement instead of just cleaning gutters that are past saving.
