Gutter Repairs

Today’s seamless aluminum gutters require much less cleaning and maintenance compared to the old fashioned sectional gutters.  So, due to the absence of joints and seals that can erode or gather debris, seamless aluminum gutters offer far better protection to the property. They, additionally, help reduce costly repairs.

You can’t always avoid repairs.  Gutters between 10 and 20 years old were often installed with spike and ferrules, which secure the gutter to the home. These gutters are often a lighter weight/ gauge .027 gutter. These, as a result, easily dents or dips and fall off with the weight of snow. This also happens with ice or debris in the gutter. Weather conditions and regular maintenance play a big part in the condition of your gutters. Dirty, clogged gutters, consequently, have a larger chance of needing repairs. We would rather you have regularly maintained gutters.

Warning Signs of Failing Gutters

  • Spike & ferrules in older homes pulling away from the gutter where you can see the nail head popping out
  • Lines in your landscape below the gutter
  • Mold in areas below where gutters are in place
  • Rotting deck boards, windowsills, windows,  garage doors, and regular doors below where gutters are in place
  • Erosion in landscape or mulch beds
  • Cracking or upheaval of sidewalks, patios, driveways and stairs
  • Paint flaking or peeling prematurely in areas near the base of the home
  • Dips or back pitch in gutters
  • Gutter hanging off the home
  • Downspout disconnected from gutter or home
  • Water in basement and home
  • Overflowing gutters that have been properly maintained may indicate a more serious problem
