The gutter work we do

New gutters

White seamless gutter running along an eave into an elbow and downspout, fixed against shake siding beside a garage
Gutter InstallationSeamless gutters in one piece along each run of the house, sized and pitched for your roof, with downspouts that put the water down away from the foundation.
Single story house with tan vinyl siding, a white gutter along the eave and a downspout with an extension carrying water out onto the lawn
Gutter ReplacementOld gutters that sag, leak at the joints, or pull off the house. We take them down, check the boards behind them, and put up new seamless gutters.

Keeping them working

Gutter GuardsCovers that keep leaves and seeds out of the gutter. They cut down on cleaning. They do not end it, and we will tell you whether they make sense for the trees over your house.
Yellow house with a front porch, white gutters along the porch roof and the main eave, and a downspout at the porch corner
Fascia and SoffitThe boards behind the gutter and under the roof edge. When they rot, the gutter has nothing solid to hold on to, and animals find a way into the attic.

Ice along the gutters every winter is often an attic problem as much as a gutter one. See roof ventilation. We check both while we are up there.

Guards or new gutters

Guards or new gutters: how we make the call

Guards on a bad gutter just hide the problem, and new gutters are a waste if the old ones only need guards. After the inspection we go through the photos with you and tell you what we would do if it were our house.

Guards
Guards usually make sense when
  • The gutters are sound, pitched right and not leaking.
  • The main problem is leaves and seeds from trees over the roof.
  • You are tired of getting on a ladder every fall.

Local conditions

What New Jersey weather does to gutters

Gutters take all the water off the roof in a storm, and in winter they hold the ice.

In the wooded parts of Morris, Sussex and Hunterdon, leaves and seeds pack the gutters every fall and spring. Up north and west, ice builds in gutters that are clogged or pitched wrong, and the weight pulls them off the fascia.

Near the shore, in Ocean and Monmouth, a nor'easter can drop a lot of rain in a few hours. A gutter that is too small, or has too few downspouts, overflows and puts that water right against the foundation.

The size, the pitch and where the downspouts go depend on your roof and on where your house is.

Process

How a gutter job works with us

You call or send the formTell us what you are seeing. A stain on the ceiling, shingles in the yard, a chimney dropping mortar into the fireplace.
We come out and inspect it, freeWe get on the roof when it is safe to, take photos, and find the actual source. A wet ceiling is rarely directly under the hole.
You get a written estimateScope, materials, and the number, on paper. The number on the estimate is the number. If we open something up and find something underneath that changes the scope, we stop and show you before we touch it.
We do the work and clean upWe run a magnet over the lawn and driveway for nails before we leave.
Before we start

You keep the photosYou see what we saw up there, including the inside of the gutters. If you want a second opinion, you have the pictures to show someone else.
We check the boards behind the gutterIf the fascia behind an old gutter is rotted, we show you before we hang anything new on it.
We are probably not the cheapest bid you will getSomeone will almost always do it for less. We would rather say that now than explain later why the number moved.

Gutter questions we hear a lot

Seamless gutter installation, gutter replacement, gutter guards, and fascia and soffit replacement. Each one has its own page with more detail.

Gutters made in one piece for each run of the house, instead of short sections joined together. With fewer joints, there are fewer places for them to leak.

No. They cut down on cleaning a lot, but fine seeds and grit still get through, and the guards need a look now and then. We tell you that before you buy them.

Often the downspouts are dumping water right next to the foundation, or the gutters overflow above it. We check where the water goes when we inspect. If the gutters are not the cause, we tell you.

When it is rotted, yes. We show you photos first, and you get a price for it before we do anything about it.

No. You get the photos and a written estimate. If you go with someone else, you owe us nothing.
