Came out and quoted my gutters the same day I requested it! Came out and cleaned my gutters and did some repair while they were up there for a reasonable price! Going to use them for my windows in the spring. Great service
Amazing! Sent in a request form on their website in the morning, heard back that afternoon, and booked for the next day. Very fast, reliable, and efficient.
They are efficient, hardworking, and reliable. I’ll definitely call them again for other services. Highly recommended!

Before and after
The same gutter, before and after
Photographed from the same spot before we started and again once we had finished.
Nanaimo is not one kind of roof. A house near Hammond Bay takes wind straight off the Strait of Georgia. A house in Westwood sits among the big trees on the lower slopes of Mount Benson. A house in the Old City looks out on a harbour that Newcastle and Protection Islands shelter from open water. The gutters on those three houses fail for different reasons, so we look at where a property sits before we decide how to work it.
Nanaimo Gutter Cleaning clears gutters and downspouts across the whole city, from Chase River and the South End up through Harewood and Brechin to Departure Bay, Rocky Point and Stephenson Point. We also do gutter repair and fit gutter guards where they earn their keep.
The north shore takes the weather first
North of Departure Bay the shoreline stops being sheltered. Neck Point and Pipers Lagoon are rock headland and pebble beach, open to the Strait, and the homes behind them catch winter storms head on. Wind drives rain almost flat against the fascia and lifts loose debris off the shingles into the trough. Arbutus and Garry oak grow on that dry, rocky ground. Arbutus is the odd tree out here: it peels bark and drops leathery leaves through the summer, so a gutter beneath one can be half full by August.
On these lots we watch the fixings as closely as the debris. Salt air works slowly on steel screws and hangers, and one loose hanger on the windward side is usually where a run begins to pull away from the house.
Under the mountain, it is needles
West of the Parkway, toward Westwood Lake and the slopes below Mount Benson, the trees get taller and closer to the house. Douglas fir and western red cedar shed all year. Their needles and flat sprays do not rinse through a downspout the way a maple leaf eventually does. They settle, knit together and hold water, and within a season or two that wet layer is growing moss and the odd seedling. From the lawn the gutter looks fine while every rain spills over its back edge, behind the fascia board where nobody sees it.

Tall back walls on the slopes
Around Long Lake, Linley Valley, Diver Lake and the North Slope, plenty of houses are built into a slope. The street side might be one storey; the back can be two or three, standing over a sloped yard or a deck. That rear run is the hardest ladder setup on the property, and often the one nobody has checked since the owners moved in. We plan the footing before anyone climbs. If a wall is too high or the ground under it too steep to work safely, you hear that before we quote, not halfway through the job.
Rentals, townhouses and strata
A city with a university campus has plenty of rentals, and landlords often learn about a gutter problem only when a tenant reports water at a window frame. Townhouse rows bring a different headache: two units share one downspout, and when it blocks, the neighbour’s patio floods. We can quote a whole building at once and clear every unit’s section in one visit.
Why choose us
Why choose us for gutter cleaning in nanaimo
The centre of our area
Nanaimo sits in the middle of the coast we cover, so Hammond Bay and Cinnabar Valley are both well inside the area we cover.
Water tested, not assumed
Every downspout gets a flush of water before we leave, so we see the outlet run instead of hoping it does.
Over ten years of island roofs
Our crew has spent more than a decade on Vancouver Island rooflines, under the same firs and cedars that grow here.
Insured and WCB-registered
Ladder work carries real risk. We carry insurance and WCB coverage, and our work comes with a guarantee.
What happens on every visit
We scoop each trough by hand, bag what comes out and take it away with us. Then we run water down every downspout and watch the outlet. If the water backs up where the pipe goes into the ground, the blockage is below grade, and we tell you so plainly; clearing buried drain lines is a different trade from ours. While we are up there we check seams, end caps, hangers and the fall of each run toward its outlet, and point out anything letting water behind the gutter.
The work
On the job
Wherever you are in Nanaimo, send us the address and a line about the house. We will take a look and send you a free quote. If the siding or the driveway could use it too, we also do soft washing and pressure washing.

Nanaimo gutter cleaning FAQ
Which parts of Nanaimo do you cover?
All of the city. That runs from Cinnabar Valley, Chase River and the South End through Harewood, the Old City, Brechin and Townsite, out to Westwood, and north through Long Lake, Linley Valley, Departure Bay and Hammond Bay to Stephenson Point. Lantzville and Cedar have their own pages on this site, and we work both.
We live near the water at Departure Bay. Does salt air ruin gutters?
Aluminum troughs cope with it well. What suffers first are the steel parts: screws, older spikes and some hidden hangers. On a house that faces the Strait we look at the fixings along the windward side while we clean, and if some have rusted loose we tell you and can quote the repair.
When should we book a gutter clean in Nanaimo?
For most houses, late in the fall, once the bigleaf maples have dropped and the first big blow has come through. Under Douglas fir or cedar, add a spring visit for what the winter storms brought down. Under arbutus, a summer look is worth it too, because arbutus sheds while everything else is still green.
Will gutter guards stop fir needles?
A fine mesh keeps needles out of the trough, which is the part that matters. Needles still collect on top of the mesh, though, and under heavy fir they need brushing off now and then. We explain which guard suits your trees before you spend anything, and sometimes the answer is that regular cleaning is the better deal.
Can you clean the gutters at our rental without the tenants there?
Usually, yes. We work from outside, so all we need is a way into the yard and somewhere to set a ladder. Tell us how the tenants like to be contacted, and whether there is a dog or a locked gate, and we will arrange the visit around that.
