16 Years of Gutter Wisdom: Lessons From the Roof Edge

16 Years of Gutter Wisdom: Lessons From the Roof Edge

We’ve been hanging gutters in Post Falls for over 16 years, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned—it’s that gutters have stories.

Some are funny.
Some are messy.
And some involve raccoons.
(We’ll get to that.)

What 16 Years Has Taught Us

1. Gutters Are Like Teeth—Ignore Them and Things Get Expensive

We’ve seen “just a little overflow” turn into foundation cracks, rotted fascia, and garage walls that resemble Swiss cheese. Routine maintenance isn’t glamorous, but it saves real money.

2. Never Underestimate Pine Needles

Post Falls has more trees than it knows what to do with, and gutter clogs from pine needles are public enemy #1. One homeowner said he thought squirrels were using his gutters for winter storage. They weren’t far off.

3. Your Garage Has Feelings Too

Over the years, we’ve added gutters to houses, garages, shops, sheds, and even a backyard chicken palace. (Yes, really.) Pro tip: If it has a roof, it needs a gutter.

4. Snow Slides Are No Joke

If you’ve ever seen a bent gutter swinging like a metal ribbon off the roof, that’s what happens when snow isn’t managed properly. That’s why we now offer custom snow stops — we’ve learned the hard way so you don’t have to.

5. People Appreciate Good Work, Honest Prices, and a Smile

That’s been our formula since day one. We don’t upsell. We don’t pressure. We just give you great gutters and the kind of friendly service you remember.

Raccoon? Yep.

One time we found a raccoon sleeping in a downspout. We gently evicted him (he was not pleased), but he taught us an important lesson: always check your downspouts before sticking your hand in.
