Gutters in Keystone Heights, Repaired or Replaced to Carry the Rain
When a gutter sags, leaks at the corners or spills over in a downpour, the water ends up on your fascia and along your foundation. We fix what can be fixed, replace what can't, and size new gutters to the roof they serve.
What your gutters do, and when they need attention
Every drop that runs off your roof needs somewhere to go. A working gutter collects it at the eave and sends it down a spout, clear of the walls and slab. Once a run clogs, pulls loose or loses its slope, the water spills where it shouldn't. The damage builds quietly, as soft fascia boards, stained soffits and mulch beds washed down to bare sand.
We repair existing gutters when the runs are still sound, and we install new one-piece aluminum gutters when they aren't. A summer afternoon storm can drop more water in an hour than an undersized gutter can handle, so we size gutters and downspouts to your roof instead of copying whatever was hung before.
Because we're roofers first, we also look at the roof edge. If the drip edge is bent or the board behind the gutter is rotting, we show you before anything goes back up.
What our gutter work covers
One-piece gutter installation
We form each run on site from aluminum coil, cut to the length of that wall. The only joints are at corners and end caps, which leaves far fewer places for a slow drip to start.
Repairs and resealing
Leaking corners and end caps get cleaned and resealed. A dented or split section gets replaced, and loose runs are refastened with hidden hangers that hold better than old spikes.
Re-pitching sagging runs
A gutter needs a slight, steady fall toward the downspout. We reset the hangers so water stops sitting in the middle of the run and overflowing there.
Downspouts and extensions
We set the number and spacing of downspouts by how much roof drains into each run. At the bottom, an extension or splash block carries the water out past your foundation.
Fascia and drip edge check
With the old gutter off, we check the fascia board and drip edge behind it. Rotted fascia is replaced before the new gutter is hung, so it has something solid to hold.
Gutter guards, if they make sense
Homes under pines and oaks fill gutters fast. We'll tell you plainly whether a guard will help on your roof or just trap needles on top.
Signs your gutters need work
Water sheets over the front edge
If rain pours over the lip instead of running to the downspout, the gutter is clogged, sagging or too small for the roof above it.
A run leaning out from the wall
When you can see daylight between the gutter's back edge and the board it hangs on, the hangers have let go or the wood behind them has softened. Each heavy rain adds weight and widens that gap.
Stains or peeling paint on the fascia
Dark streaks and bubbling paint along the roof edge show water is getting behind the gutter, often from a bent drip edge or a leaking seam.
Washed-out beds along the foundation
Trenches in the mulch or soil below the eaves mean water is falling where it shouldn't. Sandy soil erodes quickly, and that water can find its way toward your slab.
Dents, gaps or loose sections after high wind
Falling limbs and strong gusts can twist a run or pop it off its hangers. A free post-storm inspection covers the gutters along with the roof.
Shingle granules piling up inside
A heavy layer of grit in the gutter is a sign the shingles are wearing. That's worth a look from our Roof Inspections service, not just a cleanout.
What to expect when we take on your gutters
- 1
You tell us what's happening
On the phone, describe the overflow, the sag or the leak, and we'll pick a day to come by. If a storm just passed, we check the roof during that same trip.
- 2
Walk-around and free estimate
We measure every run, check the pitch and look at the fascia behind it. You get photos of what we found and a written, line-item estimate with repair and replacement options where both are honest choices.
- 3
Install day
We cover beds and walkways, take down the old gutters and fix any rotted fascia. Then we form the new runs on site, hang them at the right slope and run water through each one to check the flow.
- 4
Cleanup and walk-through
We haul off the old metal and sweep the yard for screws and scraps. Before we leave, we walk the house with you and point out where each downspout drains.
What moves the price of new or repaired gutters
Two things drive most of the number: the total length your home needs, and the shape of the wood the gutters hang on. Your free estimate breaks each item out on its own line so nothing is buried. Financing is available if a full replacement is more than you planned for this year.
- Length and layout
- Total linear feet matters, but so do the number of corners, end caps and downspouts. A house with many roof angles needs more of each.
- Height and access
- Two-story walls, steep slopes and tight spots behind landscaping take more ladder work and more time.
- Gutter size and material
- A larger gutter and wider downspouts carry more water and cost more than standard sizes. We recommend the bigger size only when your roof area calls for it.
- Fascia condition
- Rotted boards have to be replaced before a new gutter can be hung. We won't know the full extent until the old gutter is off, and we'll show you before adding anything.
- Add-ons you choose
- None of the extras are required for a working system. Guards, longer spout runs and blocks under the outlets each get a separate line, so you can keep any of them or cross them off.
Gutter questions we hear often
Something not covered here? (904) 621-1208
Should I repair my gutters or replace them?
If the runs are mostly straight and the problem is a few leaking corners or loose hangers, a repair is usually the sensible choice. When there are many seams, widespread sagging or rot behind most of the run, replacement costs less over time. We'll show you photos and give you both options when both are real.
Will insurance pay for gutters damaged in a storm?
It can. Coverage comes down to the terms of your policy and how the gutters got hurt. We take pictures of every bent or torn section and any roof damage close by, and we work directly with your insurance adjuster so you aren't passing messages back and forth. The insurer decides what's covered, and we'll give you a straight account of what the storm did.
Do I need gutter guards if I have pine trees?
Pine needles are one of the hardest things for a gutter to handle, and some guards let them sit on top and block water anyway. We'll look at the trees over your roof and tell you whether a guard is worth it or whether regular cleaning is the better plan.
Can I get new gutters without replacing my roof?
Yes. If your roof is close to the end of its life, though, it can make sense to time both together so the drip edge and gutters go up once. We'll tell you if we see that, and our Roof Replacement page explains how that work runs.
Is your gutter work covered by a warranty?
Yes. Our installations carry a 5-year workmanship warranty. We're a licensed general contractor and have been in business since 1995, so you'll know who to reach if something isn't right.
