Gutter & Eavestrough Cleaning in the Okanagan

None — they're the same service. "Eavestrough" is the term used more often in Canada and BC, while "gutter" is more common south of the border. We clear both the trough and the downspouts either way.

Single-storey homes typically run $175–$300, and two-storey homes run $300–$450, based on roughly $1 per linear foot — a typical Kelowna home has 200–300 feet of gutter. Larger homes or gutters that haven't been touched in years can run higher, up to $950 in heavily neglected cases.

Twice a year is the standard recommendation — spring, after winter debris settles in, and fall, once the leaves and pine needles from ponderosa and Douglas fir trees have come down. Properties with a lot of overhanging trees may need a third check mid-summer.

We clean — we don't do gutter repair, resealing or replacement. If we spot a sagging section, loose bracket or leak while we're up there, we'll flag it so you can get it repaired before it turns into water damage.

Yes, if you have guards installed we remove them, clear the gutter underneath, and put them back. It adds time and cost since guards roughly double the labour involved, but it's the only way to actually clean underneath them.

Clogged gutters overflow and send water straight down your fascia, siding and foundation instead of away from the house. In winter, standing water in a blocked gutter is exactly what causes ice dams, and sitting debris attracts pests and speeds up rot.
