University Place Gutter Installation, Cleaning, Repair & Protection
With 41 inches of annual rainfall, University Place houses and commercial buildings need gutters, no doubt about it. All that rain lands on roofs, and if there are no gutters, the water goes down to the base of the walls and onto vulnerable surfaces below.
If you need gutters installed or repairs to your existing system, call Guardian Home for the best gutter services in University Place.
Reliable University Place Gutter Installation
As we said above, University Place homes and businesses are vulnerable to water damage when rainfall is allowed to flow unchecked off roofs. All surfaces below remain damp for extended periods of time. Wooden surfaces like decks or railings begin to mold and rot. Concrete surfaces develop mold that accumulates and becomes a slip hazard.
The most serious ramification of roof runoff is slab damage and basement leaks. If the ground around exterior walls has not been graded well, water can penetrate a slab and work up underneath flooring materials, causing rot and staining. At the same time, water can seep down around buried walls and find its way through cracks, causing perpetual leaks or outright flooding.
We recommend home and commercial property owners install gutters to avoid all the above problems. Call Guardian Home for professional gutter installation services in University Place.
Get the Right Size of Gutters for Your University Place Building
In the case of gutters, one size does not fit all. Consider the square footage of very large roofs. All the water caught on that area flows down into a single metal channel attached to the eaves. That channel must be big enough to accommodate the volume of water coming off the roof. If the roof is also steep, it means the water flows down it faster, and this requires oversized gutters.
Most University Place homes and buildings are good with 5” or 6” gutters. Oversized 7” gutters work well for large, steep roofs, and 4” gutters are appropriate for small, flat roofs.
Seamless Gutters Are Our Thing
Traditional gutters, installed in pre-formed sections, do their job well, but they tend to leak over time when the sealant wears out. Seamless gutters are formed on site from a roll of metal. They can be made as long as a roof section so that there are no joints.
At Guardian Home, we install seamless gutters. They are a superior product requiring less maintenance and fewer repairs.
What Type of Gutter Do You Prefer?
At Guardian Home, we carry several styles of gutters in various materials and colors.
K-line gutters are the most common choice of University Place homeowners and commercial property owners, but we also install half-round, fascia-style, and low-profile. Choose from vinyl, metal, or copper, and ask us for color choices.

Gutter Repair and Maintenance University Place
Gutter systems require monitoring and maintenance, just like other building envelope systems. Although made of robust materials, gutters still deteriorate over time. When cared for, they will last for years and perform well for the duration.
What happens to gutters?
- They start to sag in the areas where spikes pull out of fascia board
- Gray streaks develop due to oxidation
- Debris such as leaves and organic matter build up and create blockages
- Ladders or falling branches dent or crush gutters
For University Place gutter maintenance, call the gutter professionals at Guardian Home. We are the experts in bringing your gutter system back to life and performing like it did when it was young.
Get Those University Place Gutter Guards
If you’re tired of getting up on a ladder and cleaning globs of decayed leaves out of your University Place gutters, call Guardian Home for gutter guard installation.
Gutter guards are flat panels of steel mesh attached to the tops of gutters. The mesh allows water inside but keeps everything else out, even asphalt shingle granules. Gutter guards are sometimes also called gutter screens, filters, and covers.
University Place Gutter Cleaning
Without gutter guards, your gutters should be cleaned at least twice a year, or more often if your building is in a heavily treed area. Most home and building owners tend to fall behind in their gutter cleaning chores, because, let’s face it, who wants to go up and down a ladder 40 times and scoop out handfuls of decayed leaves?
If you have fallen behind, or just don’t want to do the job, call Guardian Home, and request our gutter cleanout services. We have the equipment and expertise to get your gutters cleaned efficiently and safely.
