North Vancouver homes sit under more tree cover than almost anywhere else in the region, so the gutters fill up fast. We clear them out, flush the downspouts, and take the debris away with us.
There is a real reason gutters here need more attention than gutters in Vancouver or Richmond. Metro Vancouver measured tree canopy across every municipality in 2020 and found the District of North Vancouver sitting at 81% tree cover. The City of Vancouver came in at 25%, Burnaby at 31%, and Richmond at 11% (Metro Vancouver, 2020). A roof in Lynn Valley, Deep Cove or Edgemont is collecting from a forest. A roof on flat ground in Richmond is not.
That shows up in the bucket. What comes out of a North Shore gutter is rarely the dry leaves people picture. It is packed wet cedar needles, maple leaves, seed pods, moss, and roof grit, all of it soaked and heavy. Once that mat blocks the outlet, water stops going down the downspout and starts going over the front edge of the gutter, straight down your siding and into the ground beside your foundation.
Down in Lower Lonsdale and Central Lonsdale, where the canopy measures 23%, most homes get by on two cleans a year. Up the hill under the big trees, twice a year is often not enough. We will look at your roofline and tell you honestly which one your house is.
We pull the leaves, moss and debris out by hand, flush every downspout so we can see the water actually run through, and check the gutters for anything visibly wrong while we are up there. Everything we take out gets bagged and leaves with us. Your driveway looks the same as it did before we pulled in.
Gutter repairs and gutter guard installation are not part of a clean. If we spot damage while we are up there we will show you a photo and tell you what we see.
Four steps, start to finish, and you approve the scope before we book it.
Call, text, or send the quote form. We answer 7 days a week, 8am to 7pm.
We can size most jobs off your address, but gutters quote badly that way. A satellite view will not show us a second-storey run tucked behind a dormer, or how much is already sitting in there. For gutters we come and look, because that is how the number ends up right.
Leaves, moss and debris come out, downspouts get flushed, and we check the run while we work.
The debris leaves with us. You get photos of the cleared gutters and the invoice.
