Gutters
Seamless gutter replacement sized to the roof
We replace gutters with seamless aluminum, formed to the length of the run so the only joints are at corners and outlets you can see.
Five-inch is the usual house. Six-inch is what we specify when one downspout is asked to carry too much roof. Color is chosen against the trim in daylight.
The order of work
We inspect the fascia before we hang anything. A new gutter on a soft fascia board sags by the next August. Bad wood gets replaced, then hidden hangers, then downspouts that discharge away from the foundation.
Guards are a second decision. We do not cover a gutter that still needs pitch.
Questions
Do you install copper?
On historic elevations that already call for it, we will price copper as a specialty. Most houses in this region are served better by heavy aluminum in a color that matches the trim.
Can gutters be replaced with the roof?
Yes, and it is the cleanest sequence. The drip edge and the gutter should meet on purpose.
