FAQs
What makes a “precision-cut system” different from standard gutter replacements?
A precision-cut system uses digital measurement tools and on-site roll-forming machines to create gutters that match your home’s exact eave length and roof pitch—often to within 1⁄8-inch accuracy. Because each section is cut and formed for your house alone, there are no unsightly seams every 10 feet and far fewer potential leak points. The tight fit also improves water flow, reduces clogging, and enhances curb appeal compared with stock sectional gutters you can buy off the shelf.
How do I know it’s time to replace my gutters instead of repairing them?
Here are the most common red flags Andersonville homeowners notice: • Frequent leaks at the joints or downspouts, even after sealant is applied. • Sagging or pulling away from fascia boards, which indicates structural failure or hidden rot. • Peeling paint, mildew, or water stains on siding—signs that runoff is spilling behind the gutter. • Rust, pitting, or multiple holes that keep reappearing after patching. • Basement dampness or foundation cracks caused by chronic overflow. If you’re experiencing two or more of these issues, a full replacement usually provides a longer-term and more cost-effective solution than repeated spot repairs.
Which materials do you offer, and what’s best for Chicago’s North Side climate?
We install seamless K-style or half-round gutters in heavy-gauge aluminum (0.032"), designer copper, and galvanized steel. For most homes in Andersonville, 0.032" aluminum with a factory-baked enamel finish balances affordability, corrosion resistance, and snow-load strength. Copper is a premium option that patinas beautifully and can last 50+ years. Galvanized steel excels under large ice dams but needs periodic painting to prevent surface rust. During your consultation, we’ll assess roof square footage, tree cover, and historic district guidelines to recommend the best match.
How long does a typical precision-cut gutter replacement take?
A single-family residence (150–250 linear feet of gutter) is usually completed in one day: 1. Morning: Crew covers landscaping and safely removes the old gutter system. 2. Mid-morning: Digital measurements are taken; new gutters are roll-formed and precision-cut on site. 3. Afternoon: Gutters are installed with hidden hangers every 24", downspouts are attached, and seams (usually only at corners) are sealed. 4. End of day: Cleanup, haul-away, and final water-flow test. Larger or three-story homes may require an extra day, especially if fascia repair or new soffit venting is added.
What warranties and maintenance plans do you provide?
All installations include a 20-year material warranty from the metal manufacturer and our own 10-year workmanship guarantee covering leaks, pitch problems, and hanger failures. We also offer an optional annual maintenance plan that includes spring debris removal, fall leaf clean-out, downspout flushing, and a full inspection report. Enrolling in this plan extends the workmanship guarantee to 15 years and can often satisfy home-insurance maintenance clauses.
How much will a new gutter system cost and do you offer financing?
Pricing depends on linear footage, material, and accessories like gutter guards. For Andersonville homes, the average ranges are: • Heavy-gauge aluminum: $10–$14 per linear foot installed • Galvanized steel: $12–$16 per linear foot installed • Copper: $25–$35 per linear foot installed An average 200-foot aluminum project runs about $2,400–$2,800.
