Gutter repair
A dripping corner, a section that sags, a gutter that pulls away in the wind. Most gutter problems have a specific cause, and the fix depends on finding it. We look first, then tell you whether a repair will do the job.
Common problems we repair
- Leaks at seams, corners, or end caps
- Water dripping behind the gutter instead of into it
- Sagging sections or loose and missing hangers
- Standing water that does not drain toward the outlet
- A downspout that has come apart or been knocked loose
- Water stains on the siding or fascia below the gutter
What the work includes
A typical job. Your written estimate lists the exact scope for your home.
Backed by a 20-year manufacturer warranty on materials and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
- Finding the cause of the leak, sag, or overflow
- Resealing seams, corners, and end caps
- Refastening or replacing hangers
- Correcting slope on sections that hold water
- Reattaching and securing downspouts
- Replacing a damaged section when a patch will not last
- Checking the flow after the repair
What we check at the visit
Repair or replace
A repair usually makes sense when the problem is isolated and the rest of the system is sound. If we see widespread leaks, rust along the runs, or gutters that overflow even when clean, we will explain why replacement may be the better value.
What is behind the gutter
A gutter that keeps pulling loose often points to fascia that no longer holds a fastener. We check before we refasten, so the repair holds.
Options we talk through
- Spot repair of the problem areas
- Replacing individual sections
- Adding hangers or a downspout where the system is overloaded

Every price comes from the visit and measurements. We do not quote from a formula.
Questions about repair
Will you tell me if I only need a repair?
Yes. If a repair will solve the problem, we quote the repair. If we think replacement is the better choice, we explain why and you decide.
Why do my gutters overflow in one spot?
Common causes are a clog at the outlet, a section with the wrong slope, or a downspout that cannot keep up with the water from that part of the roof. The visit is how we find out which one it is.
