Gutter Cleaning: The Service You Shouldn’t Skip Before Fall

Here in Oregon, fall means beautiful colors, cooler temperatures… and a lot of rain. While the changing season is something we all look forward to, it also brings a serious risk for homeowners: clogged gutters.

At Coating Project, we’ve seen first-hand how neglected gutters can lead to costly repairs. Let’s break down why gutter cleaning is so important and why now—before the rainy season—is the perfect time to schedule it.

1. Prevent Water Damage to Your Home

Your gutters are designed to channel rainwater away from your home. When they’re clogged with leaves, moss, and debris, that water has nowhere to go. It can spill over the sides, seep into your siding, and even damage your home’s foundation.

Pro Tip: Cleaning your gutters at least twice a year (spring and late summer) keeps water flowing and your home safe.

2. Avoid Roof Damage

Standing water in clogged gutters can back up under your roof shingles, leading to rot and leaks. Once moisture gets into your roof, repairs can become expensive—fast.

Our team uses safe cleaning techniques that protect your roof while removing all debris.

3. Keep Pests Away

Clogged gutters are a dream home for pests: mosquitoes, ants, even rodents. By keeping them clean, you remove the damp, sheltered environment they love.

4. Prepare for Oregon’s Rainy Season

We all know what fall in Oregon looks like—rain, rain, and more rain. Getting your gutters cleaned in August or early September ensures they’re ready to handle the heavy downpours.
