FAQs
What makes a “high-capacity” gutter system different, and why is it important in Oakdale?
High-capacity gutters have a larger trough (usually 6"–7" instead of the standard 5") and oversized downspouts that move water 30–70 % faster. Oakdale’s mix of spring downpours and winter snow-melt puts a rapid load on roof edges; standard gutters can overflow, causing fascia rot, ice dams, and basement seepage. Upsizing the system ensures water is whisked away from your foundation even during the heaviest rain events common to our region.
How can I tell that my current gutters need to be replaced rather than repaired?
Look for persistent sagging, joints that constantly leak after being resealed, rust or pitted aluminum, peeling paint beneath the eaves, mildew on siding, or landscaping erosion directly under the roofline. If gutters are undersized for your roof area—or more than 20 years old—upgrading to a high-capacity system is usually more cost-effective than repeated patching. We offer a free assessment that includes flow-rate calculations to show whether your existing setup is adequate for Oakdale rainfall data.
What materials and profiles do you offer for gutter replacements?
We install seamless K-style and half-round gutters in 032-gauge aluminum, 16–20 oz. copper, and galvalume steel. Most Oakdale homeowners choose 6" seamless aluminum K-style for its strength-to-weight ratio and baked-on enamel colors that match popular roofing and trim shades. Copper and steel are ideal for historic homes or high-snow-load roofs. All downspouts are oversized (3"×4" rectangular or 4" round) to keep debris moving and reduce clogging.
What is the typical cost of a high-capacity gutter replacement in the Oakdale area?
Pricing depends on home size, fascia condition, material, and accessories such as gutter guards or heat cables. For a 2,000 sq ft two-story home, 6" seamless aluminum starts around $12–$15 per linear foot installed; copper begins at $28–$35. Most projects in Oakdale fall between $2,400 and $5,800. We provide a written, itemized quote that includes removal of old gutters, minor fascia repairs, and full cleanup—no hidden fees.
How long does installation take, and will I need to be home?
A standard single-family gutter replacement is usually completed in one day, even with downspout rerouting or leaf-guard installation. Larger or complex roofs may take two days. You don’t have to be home the entire time; we only need access to exterior power and a quick walkthrough before and after the job. Our crew uses ladder-stand-offs to protect siding, and we magnet-sweep for nails so you can safely use your driveway and yard as soon as we finish.
What maintenance and warranties come with your high-capacity gutter systems?
Seamless aluminum and steel gutters carry a 20-year material warranty and our lifetime workmanship guarantee. Copper carries a 50-year material warranty. Annual maintenance is minimal: clear debris each spring and fall or install our micro-mesh guards for near zero upkeep. For Oakdale’s freezing winters, we offer optional self-regulating heat tape with a 5-year warranty to prevent ice dams. We provide a maintenance checklist and discounted service calls for existing customers.
