The Problem

Small leaks turn into rotted wood.

Gutters only do one job: move water away from the house. When a seam leaks, a hanger pulls out, or the pitch drops, that water ends up exactly where it shouldn't be — behind the fascia board or dumping at the foundation.

Most gutter problems don't require a full replacement. A heavy-duty hidden hanger, a fresh bead of premium sealant, or a simple re-pitch can add years to a system that's otherwise in good shape.

What we fix

Honest assessments. Real fixes.

If a gutter is too far gone, rusted out, or crushed by a tree branch, we'll tell you straight that it needs replacing. But if it can be fixed safely and reliably, we'll fix it.

We don't use cheap caulk or flimsy spikes. We use the same premium polyurethane sealants and heavy-duty hidden hangers that we use on our brand-new installations.

Common Repairs

The stuff we fix every week

Re-Sealing Leaks

Corners and end-caps eventually leak as old caulk dries out. We strip the old sealant, clean the joint, and apply premium polyurethane gutter seal.

Re-Pitching

If water is standing in your gutters instead of flowing to the downspout, the pitch is wrong. We adjust the slope so gravity does its job.

Hanger Replacement

Old spike-and-ferrule systems pull out over time. We replace them with heavy-duty hidden hangers screwed directly into the fascia board.

Downspout Fixes

Blown off, crushed, or draining too close to the foundation. We can replace damaged sections and extend runs further into the yard.

Fascia Wrap Repair

If the aluminum wrap behind your gutters has blown off or been damaged, we can bend custom metal to replace it.

Storm Damage

Tree limbs, heavy ice, or high winds. We'll assess the damage and let you know if a repair makes sense vs a replacement.

Signs you need a repair

  • Water dripping from seams during a rainstorm
  • Gutters pulling away from the roofline
  • Visible gaps between the gutter and fascia
  • Standing water in the gutter days after rain
  • Nails or spikes backing out of the wood
  • Water pouring over the front edge (if not clogged)
Don't wait

Water always wins eventually.

A dripping seam might just be annoying when you walk out the front door, but over time, that constant drip is digging a trench near your foundation and splashing water back against your siding.
