The houses in Port Angeles East
Half the homes in Port Angeles East were built by 1974, 71% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). Houses that age have often had their gutters replaced once already; if not, the original runs and the boards behind them deserve a close look. On a house built before 1978, replacing more than 20 square feet of painted fascia or trim falls under the EPA’s lead-safe rule, so ask whether the crew is certified.
86% of households own their home, and 75% of homes are detached houses, 2% townhouses. In a townhouse or HOA community, check who owns the gutters and what colors are allowed before booking.
