About Big Mountain Gutters LLC

Snow does not fall evenly in Bigfork: it stacks along the eaves and gutters of houses tucked under the Swan Range, and that is where Big Mountain Gutters LLC does its winter work. From ladders set against rooflines with Jewel Basin rising white in the distance, the crew clears the ice and snow load that gutters were never built to hold, then moves down to driveways and walkways before the next storm arrives. A gutter system this far into the mountains earns its keep in January, not July, and keeping it clear is half the job of keeping a house dry. There is a quiet pride in a roofline scraped clean of ice, in downspouts running free instead of choked with a frozen dam. Bigfork sits close enough to the high country that winter arrives from above as much as from the lake, and the work here follows it down the roof to the ground.
