Home › Projects › Gutter Cover Installation in Woodinville
High Point Gutter installed 216 linear feet of 5-inch gutter covers on a two-story Woodinville home surrounded by tall firs. The homeowners wanted to stop cleaning out needle-clogged gutters, and one detail shaped the whole job: the home has fascia-style gutters hung with 5-inch hangers, which meant 5-inch covers were the right fit, not the 6-inch covers originally scoped.

The situation
This home sits directly under a stand of tall fir trees, with branches hanging near the roofline. The gutters were open, so everything those trees dropped went straight into the system. The homeowners asked High Point for a quote on gutter protection.
What High Point found
During the estimate, our team identified that the home has fascia-style gutters installed with 5-inch hangers. That is not a problem in itself. Fascia-style gutters mount cleanly against the fascia board and are common in this area. But it directly determines which covers fit.
Why the cover size mattered
Gutter covers are not one size fits all. A cover has to seat into the gutter and hanger system it is protecting. The original scope called for 6-inch covers, but 6-inch covers on a gutter run built around 5-inch hangers would not seat correctly.
So the job was flagged before installation, and the crew was directed to install 5-inch covers matched to the existing hangers. It is a small correction on paper that makes the difference between a cover system that performs for decades and one that fails at the fit.
What we installed
We installed 216 linear feet of 5-inch Gutter Clean Pro gutter covers across the home’s gutter runs. The cover is a perforated panel that seats over the gutter opening, sized to match the 5-inch hangers already on the house, so debris sheds off while rainwater passes through into the gutter.
High Point’s workmanship on the installation is covered by a 10-year transferable warranty.
How the project was completed
Covers over a dirty gutter just seal the debris in, so the crew hand cleaned the inside of every gutter run and cleared the downspouts before the covers went on. A full gutter cleaning is included with every cover installation we do.
With the system clean, the crew fitted the covers across all 216 feet and wrapped up in one day on site.
Project cost range
This project fell in the $2,300 to $3,800 range. That covered 216 linear feet of covers, the full system cleaning, and installation on a two-story home.
Where a cover project lands in that range depends on total footage, gutter size and style, roof height and access, and the condition of the system underneath. This range reflects what this completed project involved, not a current quote. A free on-site estimate is how we pin down the number for your home.
What homeowners with similar homes should know
If your home has fascia-style gutters, cover sizing is not a detail to gloss over. The cover has to match the gutter and hanger dimensions already on the house, and getting that wrong is one of the more common reasons cover systems underperform. It is worth asking any installer what size your existing system is and why the cover they are quoting matches it.
And if your home sits under conifers like this one, prioritize covers engineered for needles specifically. Plenty of covers handle broad leaves fine and still let fir needles through.
Related questions
How much does gutter cover installation cost in Woodinville, WA?
This Woodinville project fell in the $2,300 to $3,800 range for 216 linear feet, including a full cleaning. Footage, gutter size, and roof access move the number up or down, and estimates are free.
Can gutter covers be installed on fascia-style gutters?
Yes. The key is matching the cover to the hanger size already in place. On this home, 5-inch hangers meant 5-inch covers, even though a larger cover was considered first.
Do I need 5-inch or 6-inch gutter covers?
Whichever matches your existing gutters and hangers. The cover size follows the system on the house. If you are replacing gutters at the same time, that is the moment you can choose to size up.
Do gutter covers work with fir needles?
The right ones do, fitted the right way. Needle-heavy properties are the toughest case for any cover, which is why this job used a perforated cover system sized precisely to the existing 5-inch gutters rather than a loose screen. Fit is most of the battle under conifers.
Is gutter cleaning included with cover installation?
Yes. Every High Point cover installation starts with a hand cleaning of the gutters and downspouts, because covers should never be installed over debris.
