Gutter repair
We find out why the system failed before we quote, so the same fault does not come back next spring.
Gutter repair that fixes the cause, not just the drip.
A leaking joint, a run that has pulled away from the fascia, a downpipe that has separated at an elbow — these are symptoms. The cause is usually one of a short list: hangers that were fastened into rotten wood, a pitch that was never set correctly, ice that loaded the trough beyond what the fasteners could hold, or a downpipe that discharges too close to the foundation and backs water up under the shingle line.
We start by finding which of those it is — looking at the fascia, the hangers, the pitch across the run, and where water ends up when the system is loaded. Only then do we tell you whether repair makes sense or replacement is the better value over the next decade.
When repair is the right answer we reseal corners, replace failed hangers into solid wood, correct pitch, refit downpipes, and replace damaged sections with matched 5-inch K-Style material.
- Leaking joints, corners and end caps resealed
- Sagging runs relevelled and repitched toward the outlet
- Failed hangers replaced into solid backing
- Downpipes and elbows refitted, resized or rerouted
- Damaged sections replaced with matched material
- Honest advice when replacement is the better value
What a small leak costs if you leave it
Water escaping behind a gutter runs down the fascia and soaks the sheathing edge. In Sandpoint, Idaho's freeze-thaw cycle, that moisture expands and contracts through winter — turning a gutter problem into carpentry. Fixing the trough while it is still a gutter problem is always the cheaper job.
Diagnosis first
We identify why the system failed before we quote, so the same problem does not come back next spring.
Straight answers
If a run is past repairing, we say so and price the replacement. We would rather tell you the truth than sell you a patch.
Matched materials
Replacement sections are matched to the existing profile and colour so the repair does not read as a repair.
Frequently asked questions
Often, yes. If the aluminum is sound and the problem is pitch, fastening or sealing, repair is usually the sensible choice. If the trough is holed or the fascia is compromised, we will tell you plainly that replacement is the better spend.
Yes. We assess what is there on its own merits — many of our repair calls are on systems installed by someone else.
