Around here, heavy-gauge seamless aluminum is the workhorse because it shrugs off constant moisture without rusting. For homes under dense fir and cedar we often steer folks toward wider 6-inch troughs, which move Puget Sound rainfall far better than the standard 5-inch profile.

Homes along the Green River valley and up on the East Hill sit under a lot of conifer needle drop, so twice a year is the honest minimum, ideally late spring and again in late fall. Properties ringed by big-leaf maple or Douglas fir usually need a third pass to stay ahead of the debris load.

If your roof sits under evergreens, guards earn their keep fast in King County. Needles and moss are the real clog culprits here, not just leaves, so we fit micro-mesh systems sized for fine PNW debris rather than the big-hole screens that let needles right through.

Yes. We work through Kent's wet stretch year round and simply plan around the heavier downpours. Aluminum and steel go up fine in damp weather, and getting your drainage squared away before the winter atmospheric rivers hit is honestly the smartest time to do it.

Every crew is fully licensed, bonded, and insured to work in Washington, and we pull permits when a job calls for one. You get proof of coverage up front, and our installers follow L&I safety standards on every ladder and lift across the Kent area.
