Trusted Gutter Cleaning & Repair in Pitt Meadows, BC

Gutters and downpipes prevent water that falls on the roof from dripping down the sides of the house and collecting near the foundation. They also prevent water from sheeting off the roof and falling directly onto people in entrances, driveways and walkways.

Gutter cleaning is typically recommended twice a year, once in late spring and again in late summer or early fall. However, this can vary based on your home's surroundings. For instance, if you have pine trees near your home, their needles can fill up your gutters quickly, necessitating more frequent inspections, ideally every three months. Regular cleaning helps prevent blockages and potential damage to your property.

The timeline for gutter replacement depends on several factors including the size of your home and the extent of work required. Typically, the process takes about two weeks from start to finish. The installation itself usually takes about one day for an average-sized home. Any necessary repairs are generally completed within a week. We strive to provide efficient and quality service to minimize any inconvenience.

The longevity of gutters varies based on several factors including the material they're made from, weather conditions, and maintenance practices. Aluminum gutters have an average lifespan of 20 years. Steel, copper, and zinc gutters can last over 50 years with regular maintenance. It's important to note that regular cleaning and repair can significantly extend the life of your gutters.

Leaf screens or covers can be a great addition to your gutter system. They help keep debris out of the gutters while allowing water to flow freely through the system. Even if some debris sits on top or sticks in the cover, the overall function of the gutter system is not compromised as it would be without any cover at all. We recommend checking and cleaning gutters with leaf screens every two years.
