Common Questions

5-inch or 6-inch gutters for my home?
5-inch handles most Spokane homes. Go 6-inch if you have a steep pitch, a large roof area draining to one run, or experience regular overflow. Always pair with appropriately sized downspouts.
Are gutter guards worth it with Spokane cottonwood?
High-quality micro-mesh guards (LeafFilter, HomeCraft) handle most leaves and pine needles well. Cottonwood fluff is tougher — it mats on mesh. Guards reduce maintenance frequency but rarely eliminate it entirely if you have cottonwoods overhead.
What happens when gutters fail in Spokane winters?
Neglected gutters fill with ice — adding 300+ lbs per section that can pull the entire gutter off the fascia. Overflowing gutters dump concentrated water at the foundation. Fascia rot follows standing water in gutters year-round.
