Gutter Inspection & Report in Salem, Keizer and the Mid-Willamette Valley
Sometimes you do not need work done yet — you need to know what is actually going on up there. A written inspection puts numbers and photographs to it, so you can decide what is urgent, what can wait a season, and what a contractor is exaggerating.
Free with any booked work; standalone written report $125–$225 — call (503) 555-0142 for a number on your address.
When a Written Report Earns Its Money
Three situations come up again and again. Selling a house, where overflowing gutters and the stains they leave land in the inspection report and get negotiated against the price. Filing an insurance claim after a storm, where the adjuster wants dated photographs and a description of the damage, not a homeowner’s account. And buying a property, where you would rather know before closing whether the gutter system has ten years left in it or two.
What the Inspection Covers
Every Elevation Photographed
Dated photographs of each run from ladder height, plus close-ups of anything that needs attention. You get the file, not a summary.
Pitch & Standing Water
We level the runs and note any section that holds water — the single most common cause of premature gutter failure here.
Fasteners, Seams and Miters
Loose or missing hangers, separating seams and failed corner sealant, each located and photographed.
Downspouts and Discharge
Every downspout flow-tested, and the discharge point checked to see whether water is actually being carried away from the foundation.
Fascia and Roof Edge
The board behind the gutter probed for soft spots, plus a note on drip edge, valley debris and anything on the roof that will fill the gutter again next season.

What moves the price up or down
- Number of stories and total linear footage.
- Whether you need same-day turnaround for a closing date or an adjuster deadline.
- Access — a house on a slope or with restricted side yards takes longer to work around.
- Whether a buried drain line needs a camera to be included in the report.
These are the ranges we quote most often, based on published 2026 cost data for Salem and the Portland metro and on our own jobs. They are estimates, not a quote — every price is confirmed in writing after we have seen the property, and it does not change afterwards unless you ask for extra work.
