Why are seamless aluminum gutters a better choice?

Seamless gutters are custom-formed on-site in long continuous runs—often up to 50 feet—so there are fewer seams, fewer potential leak points, and a cleaner appearance. Compared to 10-foot sectional pieces from hardware stores, seamless aluminum offers improved durability, reduced maintenance, and enhanced curb appeal.

How do you fix leaking or overflowing gutters?

We diagnose the cause, then clean and reseal joints and miters, replace worn sections, and correct gutter pitch. For overflow, we often add or upsize downspouts, clear obstructions, and ensure proper slope so water drains efficiently away from the home.

Can you replace my old gutters with a better installation method?

Yes. We replace nail-fastened systems—which can loosen over time—with hidden hangers that securely support the gutter and allow for proper expansion, contraction, and long-term stability.

Do you offer gutter installation for new construction projects?

Yes. We provide seamless gutter and downspout installation for new residential and commercial builds, coordinating with contractors to ensure correct sizing, placement, slope, and code-compliant discharge.

Can you repair damage to the wood behind my gutters?

Yes. If fascia boards are rotted or damaged from prior leaks, our team can replace or repair the wood before installing new gutters to ensure a solid attachment and long-lasting performance.

Do you handle gutter guards or other gutter accessories?

Yes. We install gutter guards to reduce debris buildup, as well as accessories like kick-out flashing, splash blocks, and downspout extensions to direct water away from siding and foundations.

High Winds: How Can They Damage Your Gutters?

December 18, 2023

Gutters are crucial to your home’s protection against water and structural damage. While they provide weather protection, they aren’t invincible against the elements. When strong enough, winds can severely damage your gutters.

Keep reading to learn how winds can harm gutters.

Wind’s Impact on Your Gutters

Some gutter materials can bend, warp or break under strong winds. The wind can also carry large or heavy debris that can hit and damage your gutters. If you have an old or deteriorating gutter system, it could sag or pull away from your home during weather extremes.

Strong winds can cause your gutters to move back and forth during storms. Over time, this movement can compromise your gutter’s material. The weaker your gutters get, the more prone they will become to damage. The fasteners or nails securing your gutters can loosen due to metal fatigue, resulting in sagging.

Common Signs of Wind-Related Gutter Damage

Wind-damaged gutters could bend, crack and have detached sections. Water drainage issues, such as standing water, can also indicate the gutter system has been compromised. Regular inspections, especially after severe windstorms, are vital in spotting and addressing these issues promptly.

What You Can Do to Protect Your Gutters from Damage

Regular maintenance is essential to preventing wind damage to gutters. This includes ensuring they are securely attached to the house and checking for loose or corroded components. Clearing gutters of debris is also essential, as clogged gutters are more susceptible to damage. Installing gutter guards can offer additional protection from debris, reducing the likelihood of clogs and subsequent damage.
