Process

How a gutters & exterior visit goes.

  1. 1

    Inspect

    Walk the perimeter, check every downspout, look for sag, separation, and rust at the seams.

  2. 2

    Clean and clear

    Pull debris by hand into a tarp, flush the downspouts with water, check for proper drainage away from the foundation.

  3. 3

    Repair

    Reseat hangers, reseal seams, patch holes, replace bad sections.

  4. 4

    Test and document

    Run a hose at the high end, watch the water flow, send you photos of anything that needs follow-up.

Frequently asked questions

How often should gutters be cleaned?
Twice a year in most of Northern Illinois — once in spring after the buds drop, once in late fall after the leaves are down. Heavy tree cover may need a third cleaning in late summer.
Do you work on roofs?
No. Roof repair and replacement go to a qualified roofing contractor. We keep this service focused on gutters, downspouts, siding patches, fascia, soffit, exterior trim, and caulk.
Can you fix storm damage quickly?
We can assess gutter, downspout, siding, fascia, soffit, and exterior-trim damage. Roof damage should be assessed by a qualified roofing contractor.
What if my gutters are pulling away from the house?
Usually a fastener problem — the original spikes have backed out or the wood behind them has rotted. We pull the bad section, repair the fascia if needed, and re-hang with new hidden hangers screwed into the rafter tails.
Do you install gutter guards?
Yes. We install drop-in screen guards and the snap-on micromesh systems. We don't install the proprietary integrated systems sold by national gutter companies — those are tied to whole-gutter replacement.
What's the deal with downspout extensions?
Standard splash blocks are not enough on many lots. We can include drainpipe extensions or pop-up emitters in the free estimate when the site needs water routed farther from the foundation.
