NW Gutter Pros

About NW Gutter Pros

Sequim sits in the driest corner of western Washington, tucked far enough into the rain shadow of the Olympics that the lavender fields out toward Carlsborg usually sit brown and pruned back through winter under skies that stay clear while the mountains behind town go white. NW Gutter Pros spends most of the year keeping roof runoff moving the way it should, but on the rare morning when snow does reach town instead of just dusting the peaks above the Dungeness, that same knowledge of a roofline becomes the thing that matters most — knowing where a gutter will dam with ice, where a valley in the roof holds snow long after the rest has slid off, where meltwater will refreeze into something dangerous over a doorway. Snow is uncommon enough here that it catches houses off guard in a way it never would somewhere it fell every week; a gutter clogged with the season's first real snowfall can back water up under shingles fast. Clearing that snow and ice off a roofline and out of the gutters, then keeping the water moving down and away, is the same instinct the crew uses on any ordinary rainy Sequim day, just aimed at a rarer kind of weather. Out past the fields, the Dungeness keeps running toward the strait regardless, snow or not, and a house with its gutters flowing free through it all stays exactly as dry as it should.
