Your gutters may not need replacing.
They may just need fixing.
Cleaned out, re-sloped so they actually drain, and reinforced where they're pulling away — that's a gutter system repair, and it's a fraction of what new gutters cost. If yours aren't working right, let me come see what it would take to fix them.
Four things and we'll call you back. Days, usually within the hour.
Three things fix most of the gutters I look at.
Gutters that overflow, sag or drip usually aren't worn out. They're clogged, hung at the wrong pitch, or under-supported — and all three are fixable on the gutters you already own.
Cleaned out properly
Every run and every downspout, cleared by hand and flushed. A surprising number of “broken” gutters are just full — including the downspouts, where the clog you can't see usually is.
Re-sloped so they drain
Standing water in a clean gutter is a pitch problem. Gutters settle over the years and stop falling toward the downspout. Re-hanging them to the right slope is often the whole fix.
Reinforced where they're pulling
Old spike-and-ferrule hangers work loose and the run starts to sag and separate. Additional hidden hangers screwed into solid fascia pull it back tight and hold it there.
If the fascia behind the gutter has gone soft, that gets fixed first — nothing you hang on a rotted board is going to hold. And if the system really is past saving, I'll show you the photos and tell you straight.
The problems we see most in Ascension Parish.
Leaking seams and corners
Sectional gutters leak at the joints eventually — that's what joints do. We reseal properly rather than smearing caulk over it, and tell you if the run is past saving.
Sagging runs
Almost always the fascia behind the gutter has gone soft. Rehanging without addressing the board buys you about a year. We check what we're fastening to.
Wrong pitch
Standing water in a clean gutter is a pitch problem, not a debris problem. Enough fall to drain, not so much that it looks crooked from the street.
Pulled spikes and hangers
Old spike-and-ferrule systems work loose over time. We replace with hidden hangers screwed into solid fascia.
Downspout problems
Separated, crushed, undersized or dumping straight at the slab. In Louisiana clay, where the water lands matters as much as whether it drains.
Fascia repair
If the board is rotted, nothing you hang on it holds. We replace the section before rehanging, and we'll show you the photo of why.
Sometimes a repair is the right call. Sometimes it isn't.
A leaking seam on an otherwise sound gutter is worth fixing, and it's cheap. A twenty-year-old sectional system leaking in six places on soft fascia is money you'll spend twice.
We'll tell you which one you have, and if it's the first one we'll fix it and leave. We're not going to talk you into replacing a run that has years left in it.
