Frequently Asked Questions

If your gutter system fails, it’s time to change out your old gutter. Improper maintenance, poor installation, and severe weather all contribute to system failure. If you’re unsure if you need a new gutter, we provide detailed inspections and recommendations. 

Are you wondering how to choose the right gutter? As surprising as it sounds not all gutters are the best type of gutter. People try to save money on fascia boards by using fascia gutter. Although “Crown-Mold”, “Two-Step” and other fascia gutters look nice, they clog very easily and require more maintenance than conventional “Colonial” style gutter. We recommend the “Colonial” style gutter and offer it in three sizes to fit any of your projects with or without fascia boards. 

You should have your gutters cleaned and inspected once per year to save your home unnecessary damages in the long run. How often you clean your gutters is entirely dependent on your surrounding area and what type of system you have. If there are lots of trees around your home, your gutters will require more maintenance than if your home is in an open area.  

Most of the time we can reseal the gutter. Avoid getting the “super gutter fix-it goo”  from the hardware stores or local handyman, no offence Jim. But not all sealants play nice together and a mix of sealants can render your gutters out of commission. 

No, you cannot pressure wash your roof. A lower pressure rinse is all that should ever be used on a roof. Power washing your roof is likely to cause unnecessary damage. The use of environmentally friendly non-destructive cleaners combined with proper techniques is essential for a job well done. 

Cheap gutter companies often lack proper insurance and will hold you liable for all damages, personal and property. Beware of the “it’s a great deal” tactic! A professional company will have liability insurance as well as WorkSafeBC coverage. We carry five million in liability and are in good standing with WorkSafeBC.
