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.

What’s Clogging Up My Gutters and Causing Damage?

October 11, 2022

Clogged gutters are ineffective at removing excess water from the roof during heavy rainfall. To prevent this problem, your gutters must receive regular cleaning and maintenance from roofing repairs specialists.

In this post, Deschutes Roofing discusses the usual causes of gutter clogging.

Leaves Cause Clogged Gutters

Leaves fall into gutters and cause clogging as they accumulate. Reduce falling leaves by pruning away overhanging branches and using leaf guards to prevent their entry into the system. If nearby tree limbs are too thick and wide, ask a professional to trim or cut them off.

Weeds

Gutters contain moisture and debris that encourage the growth of weed seeds. Regular cleaning ensures that the seamless gutters won’t be a conducive environment for weeds to grow since water, leaves and debris are routinely removed.

Animal Nests

Clogged gutters contain essential nest-building materials. Clearing it of leaves and debris can drive away nesting birds. Consider installing a mesh guard to discourage birds and small animals from nesting in your gutters.

Muck

Leaves and debris contain materials that can create black slime that will block your gutters and downspouts. Have regular gutter maintenance and cleaning to clear muck from your gutter system.

Ice Dams Damage Gutters and Roofs

Inadequate attic ventilation and insulation will cause ice dams to form on your roof. Melted snow or ice can drain into your gutters and clog the system when it refreezes there. Improve your attic ventilation and insulation to prevent ice dams and clogged gutters.

Poor Downspouts

Incorrectly designed downspouts could trap debris and cause water to back up to your roof and overflow on the sides of your home. A roofing or gutter professional can locate and clear the blockage in the downspout.
