Gutter Cleaning
Keep water moving where it belongs — away from your home.

Keep water moving where it belongs — away from your home.
Oregon's rain season puts your gutters to work. When they're blocked, that water has to go somewhere — and it usually causes expensive damage.
Overflowing gutters dump water directly at your foundation. Over time this saturates the soil, causes settling, and can allow water intrusion into your basement or crawl space — some of the most costly repairs a homeowner can face.
Water pooling in clogged gutters sits against the fascia board for extended periods. This leads to wood rot, paint failure, and eventually structural damage to your roofline — repairs that are far more expensive than a regular cleaning.
Standing water and decomposing debris in gutters attract mosquitoes, birds, and rodents looking for nesting spots. That same wet organic matter also breeds mold, which can spread to your siding and roofline.
Thorough, top-to-bottom cleaning that leaves your gutters flowing freely and your home protected.
We walk the full perimeter and assess every section of gutter and downspout before starting — noting any sagging, damage, or problem areas that need attention alongside the cleaning.
We remove leaves, pine needles, shingle grit, and any buildup by hand, then bag it all for removal. Downspouts are flushed and cleared so water flows freely from roofline to ground.
We run water through the system to confirm flow and check for leaks at seams and joints. If we spot anything that needs repair, we'll point it out so you know exactly what's going on.

"Basalt Exteriors did a great job treating my roof for moss, clearing my gutters and downspouts, and pressure washing my driveway. They were professional, answered all my questions, and did a great job. Highly recommended!"
"I called Basalt Exteriors to clean out our gutters after noticing some overflow during the last big rain. The gutters were packed with leaves, needles, and a bit of moss — typical for our area with all the trees around. Great work."
Basalt Exteriors was founded by Landon Duncan with a simple belief: your home deserves to look its best, and the people caring for it should treat it like their own.
Based in Dallas, Oregon, we specialize in exterior maintenance for residential properties throughout the Salem, Oregon area. The Pacific Northwest climate is beautiful, but it's tough on homes — that's where we come in.
We take a careful, detail-oriented approach to every job — no shortcuts, no surprises, and results that last.
No. We clean by hand and use controlled water flushing — no high-pressure blasting that can warp or unseat gutter sections. We also check hangers and seams while we're up there and let you know if anything needs attention.
Most single-family homes take 1–2 hours depending on the amount of debris and the length of the gutter run. We'll give you a time estimate when we assess your property.
Pricing depends on the linear footage of gutters, home height, and debris level. Most residential jobs fall in the $100–$250 range. We provide free estimates — reach out and we'll give you an exact number before any work starts.
In the Salem area, most homes should have gutters cleaned at least once a year — typically in late fall after leaves drop. Homes with large trees overhead may need cleaning twice a year. We'll let you know what we recommend after seeing your property.
They can reduce cleaning frequency but don't eliminate it — pine needles, seeds, and shingle grit still get through or accumulate on top of most guards. We offer gutter guard installation and can walk you through the pros and cons for your specific situation.
