Barrie is a city of mature trees, which is great for shade and rough on gutters. We hand-clear the troughs, unplug every downspout, flush the system, and haul the mess away. Our crew is based in Horseshoe Valley, about 25 minutes from anywhere in town.
Half of Barrie is built into old maple and oak stands. The south-end subdivisions in Painswick and Holly, the treed streets off Cundles East, the older lots in Sunnidale and Letitia Heights, and just about every lakefront lot on Kempenfelt has a canopy dropping seeds in spring and leaves in fall. All of it ends up in your gutters. Add the pine needles from the properties out toward Midhurst and Springwater and you have a system that packs solid twice a year like clockwork.
When the troughs overflow in a Barrie winter, that water freezes into ice dams along the roof edge. Those dams push meltwater back up under the shingles and into the fascia and soffit, and that repair costs a lot more than keeping the gutters clear ever would.
Every roof is different, so we send a real number before we start. Here is where most Barrie gutter jobs land:
Book gutters and windows on the same visit and the combined price comes down, since it saves us a second drive out to your place.
What these visits actually involve, and the kind of property they happen on.
Two-storey backing onto trees, gutters completely packed by November. Cleared the troughs, flushed every downspout, bagged the debris and took it away. The blocked downspout was photographed first, because a waterfall off the front corner in the rain always traces back to one.
Older house on a treed street. The previous cleaner had scooped the leaves and left the downspouts alone, which moves a clog rather than clearing it. Full flush through the system and the debris hauled off site. Booked with a window clean the same visit, which brings the total down.
Three storeys on the bay with a steep roof, not a straightforward reach. Walked the owner through how the crew would get to it before starting. Done in an afternoon, fully insured, and on a spring and autumn schedule since.
Real Google reviews from Barrie. We run on referrals from the people we have already worked for.
“I'd like to say thank you to the boys from Hunks Window Cleaning. They arrived right on time, went through the outside lickety-split, well equipped with the right gear. In the house, they cleaned all the windows inside including the screens. All in all, maybe 2 hours, and very personable.”
“I could not be happier with the professional window cleaning service provided by Hunks Window Cleaning here in Barrie, Ontario. From start to finish, the team was on time, polite, and incredibly detail-oriented. They cleaned both the interior and exterior windows of my home in Barrie, and the difference was night and day. My windows are sparkling, streak-free, and crystal clear.”
“I recently had Hunks Window Cleaning come out to my home and I am beyond impressed with the results. They cleaned all of my interior and exterior windows, including frames, sills, and screens, and my windows have never looked so crystal clear. They even went the extra mile to make sure hard-to-reach windows were cleaned safely using their water-fed poles.”
Most Barrie homeowners book gutters twice a year, in late spring and again in fall, and a lot of them add windows to the same trip. One appointment, one drive, one lower combined price.
Pure-water system, streak-free finish, screens and tracks included. Book it on the same visit as your gutters.
A fall gutter clean is the perfect time to book your lights. We design, hang, maintain, and take them down after the season.
A single-storey bungalow is usually $150 to $200. A standard two-storey in a subdivision like Painswick or Holly runs $200 to $300. Larger homes, steep rooflines, and three-storey or lakefront places with a lot of gutter run are $300 and up. We send the number before we start, and if you book gutters with a window clean on the same visit we knock money off the total.
Twice a year for most of Barrie. Late spring after the maples and birch finish dropping seeds and blossoms, and again in late October or early November once the oaks let go of their leaves. If your home backs onto trees, like a lot of places off Cundles East or in the older Sunnidale streets, you may want a third cleanout mid-fall so the system does not clog going into freeze-up.
Packed gutters overflow, and in a Barrie winter that overflow freezes into ice dams along the roof edge. Ice dams push water back up under the shingles and into the soffit and fascia, which is a far more expensive fix than a cleanout. Overflowing gutters also dump water against the foundation, which is the last thing you want on the clay soil a lot of Barrie sits on.
Both. Clearing the troughs but leaving a plugged downspout just moves the clog. We hand-clear every downspout, then flush the whole system with water to confirm it drains free before we pack up. A blocked downspout is the number one cause of the overflow people call us about.
Yes. We bag the leaves and gunk and take it with us, or if you compost we can leave it bagged by your bin, your call. We do not leave a pile of wet muck on your lawn or in your beds.
Yes. We handle most Barrie rooflines from ladders and stabilizers, including three-storey and steeper lakefront homes on Kempenfelt. Our crew is Working-at-Heights certified and we carry $2 million liability plus WSIB. If access is tricky we will tell you up front how we plan to reach it.
We keep an eye out. While we are clearing we flag loose spikes, sagging sections, separated seams, or downspouts that have pulled away from the wall, and we let you know so you can get ahead of it. We do not do full eavestrough repair or replacement, but we will tell you honestly what we see.
Most of our Barrie customers do exactly that, especially in spring and fall. Bundling saves you a second appointment and saves us a second drive, so the combined price is less than booking them apart. Just mention both when you book.
About 60 seconds online. We confirm same day and text you the morning of the job when the crew is heading your way.
