Vancouver, WA has gone from a suburb of Portland to a city in its own right. It’s easy to see why so many people choose to live in Vancouver, WA. The city is a beacon for nature lovers, with mountains, beaches, and desert landscapes all within driving distance. The city itself is brimming with lots of greenery, and the residents are just as pleasant as the landscape. While the Pacific Northwest has a reputation for being incredibly rainy, the area gets substantially less rain per year than other US cities, such as New Orleans.

With over 50 fewer sunny days than the country as a whole, Vancouver, WA can be downright dreary—and wet—for much of the year. Water damage is one of the biggest threats to the structural integrity of your home, making investing in Vancouver, WA gutter installation services a must.

Though gutters are necessary, they require a lot of maintenance to work properly. When properly installed, they do a good job of catching and channeling water away from your home, but in the process, they tend to catch a lot of other things as well. All it takes is a little bit of rain or wind and the next thing you know, your gutters are full of all that Vancouver greenery you love. Once enough gets in there, it gets stuck. To remove it, you’ll have to get up on a ladder twice each year and shovel it out.
Many homeowners will agree that gutter cleaning is one of their least favorite home maintenance tasks. But if not done regularly, the following problems can occur and lead to expensive repairs:
Though there is a wide range of gutter styles used in Vancouver, WA, most of them are susceptible to at least some of the issues above.
When it comes to traditional styles used for gutter installation in Vancouver, WA, there are only two main types: sectional gutters and seamless gutters. As the name suggests, sectional styles are installed in small segments, making them a top choice for DIY installation as no cutting is required. Unfortunately, more seams mean more places for leaks to develop. These systems don’t often last very long.
Seamless styles must be professionally installed, as they’re cut to fit the length of your roof. Fewer joints mean fewer points of weakness for leaks, but these gutters can still be affected by clogs.
In terms of materials, there are a few different options:
No matter which material or style you choose, it’s often recommended to conduct gutter cleaning and maintenance at least once a year. To increase the time between cleanings, some Vancouver, WA residents use gutter guards. Unfortunately, they’re not all they’re cracked up to be.
Gutter guards are devices that can be placed on or inside of your troughs to prevent large and small debris from entering the system. While these can reduce the frequency of cleaning, they don’t eliminate it. Some things that homeowners don’t realize before purchasing these guards are as follows:
There’s one type of guard that is an exception to those above—our Vancouver, WA gutter guards are a component of the Gutter Shutter system and are the best in the industry.
By partnering with Gutter Shutter, we’re confident that this is the last time you’ll ever need gutter installation in Vancouver, WA. Unlike all other gutter systems, with the Gutter Shutter, you will no longer need our gutter cleaning tips—your troughs will naturally remain clog-free.
Known as the strongest gutter in the world, this system holds up in all weather conditions due to its innovative design and durable materials. By choosing us for your next Vancouver, WA gutter installation, you’ll have peace of mind in knowing that:
Most troughs are approximately 5 inches wide, but the troughs on this system are a full inch larger, making them 6 inches across. Though this may not seem like much, this allows channels to carry about 20 percent more water. Because it’s made from 0.032 gauge aluminum, it’s well-equipped to carry this weight and more.
The built-in guards cover the troughs and feature ‘flow reducers’ to prevent water during heavy rainfall from spilling off the top.
Unlike traditional guards, the unique rolled hood design on these troughs effectively keeps all debris from entering the system. Water flows over under the edge of the hood while debris simply slides right off. You’ll never need to clean this system because it’ll never clog. This claim is backed up with a lifetime no-clog guarantee.
Even without clogs, vinyl and lightweight aluminum can sag and pull away from your fascia boards over time. Thanks to durable brackets that support all sides of the troughs, this system is guaranteed to never pull away or sag. Like clogs, this claim is supported by a lifetime no-sag and no-pull guarantee.
Featuring a seamless design, this system is not prone to leaking. Precise measurements are taken of your home in advance of the installation, and segments are cut according to these specifications. Thanks to the durable design, there won’t be any warping, which will keep your seams at the corners tightly sealed.
No matter what your style is, there’s a trough or downspout color that will fit your exterior home design. A wide variety of color options are available, from cool-toned grays and beiges to brighter greens and oranges. The system is designed to mimic the appearance of crown molding, making it look like it’s part of your home’s design aesthetic.
Troughs are also installed directly onto your fascia boards so that your roof can be replaced without having to remove them, and you won’t have to worry about voiding your roof warranty.
