Gutter cleaning
Cleared by hand. Downspouts flushed.
Not blown out and left on your lawn. Debris comes out by hand, downspouts get flushed and tested, and we confirm water actually goes where it should.
What a blocked gutter actually costs you
A full gutter doesn't overflow evenly. It overflows at the low point — usually against fascia or a corner — and it does it every time it rains. In the Okanagan that means water running down behind the fascia board all autumn, then freezing there through winter.
The repair bill is fascia, soffit and sometimes the wall behind. The prevention is a couple of hundred dollars once a year.
Hand-cleared, and the downspouts get tested
Plenty of operators blow gutters out with a leaf blower. It's fast, it's cheaper for them, and it pushes half the debris into the downspout — which is where blockages actually happen.
- Debris removed by hand and bagged, not blown onto your beds and lawn.
- Downspouts flushed with water and watched until they run clear.
- Outlets checked so water is leaving the house, not pooling at the foundation.
- Gutter faces wiped — the black tiger-striping down the outside comes off too.
- We tell you what we saw. Loose hangers, separated seams, rusted sections, or a downspout draining against the foundation. We don't repair gutters, but you should know.
When to book
Once a year is enough for most Okanagan homes, and late autumn — after the leaves are down — is the slot that matters. Booking before the leaves have finished dropping means doing it twice.
Homes under mature deciduous trees, or with pine needles landing on the roof, are the exception: those often want spring and fall.
The FireSmart angle. Debris in gutters and on the roof sits in the Immediate Zone — the first 1.5 metres around your home — and it's exactly what wind-blown embers land in. Gutter clearing appears on BC FireSmart's list of recommended actions, and in some Central Okanagan areas the work qualifies for a rebate. Worth booking your free assessment before you book us.
What it costs
Gutter Cleaning — our prices
Published, not quoted. Pick your size, text us, and we’ll confirm the slot.
Published, not quoted. No sales visit to find out a number. No quote visit, no “from” pricing that climbs once we see the house. The number on this page is the number on the invoice.
| Home size | Price |
|---|---|
| Small — up to 2,000 sq ft | $199 |
| Medium — 2,000–3,000 sq ft | $259 |
| Large — 3,000–4,000 sq ft | $329 |
| Estate — over 4,000 sq ft | Let's talk |
Booking a roof at the same time? Gutters are $129 flat as an add-on — the ladder work and setup are already paid for.
Prices are based on the size you select. We check the property before confirming — if it falls in a different band we’ll tell you before anything is booked. No surprises on the day.
Gutter guards
Gutter guards, only where you need them
Most homes don’t need guards on every run. It’s usually the stretch under one shedding tree or a pine. We guard that and leave the rest.
$22 per foot, installed. Cleaning included. The gutter is hand-cleared before the guard goes on, at no extra charge. No sales visit to get a number.
| Gutter guards | Price |
|---|---|
| Installed, per linear foot | $22/ft |
| Cleaning of the guarded runs | Included |
| A recent install: 20 ft under one tree | $440 |
- Only the runs that fill up. We measure the stretches that actually collect debris, not the whole house.
- Priced from photos. Text us a few photos of your gutters, or just your address and we’ll look from satellite. You get the footage and the price back by text.
- Fewer ladder days. Guarded runs stay clear between cleans, so the overflow onto your fascia stops.
Common questions
Gutters — straight answers
Do you clean gutters with a leaf blower?
No. Blowing gutters out pushes debris into the downspouts, which is where blockages actually form. We clear by hand and bag it.
When is the best time of year?
Late autumn, once the leaves are down. Doing it earlier usually means doing it twice.
Do you repair gutters?
No, but we'll tell you what we found — loose hangers, separated seams, a downspout draining at the foundation — so you can get it dealt with.
Do you install gutter guards?
Yes. $22 per linear foot installed, with the gutter cleaned first at no extra charge. We only guard the runs that need it, and we price it from your photos or a satellite view, so there’s no sales visit.
With guards on, do I never clean my gutters again?
Guards cut it down a lot, but fine debris and pine needles can still settle on top. A quick check once a year is still worth it.
Can I add gutters to a roof booking?
Yes, and you should. It's $129 flat when booked with roof work, because the access and setup are already covered.
