Gutter repair across Snohomish, King & Skagit Counties
Not every gutter needs replacing. If a repair will do the job, we’ll tell you.
What our customers say.
Most gutter problems are in one spot, like a leaky joint, a loose hanger, a blocked downspout or one damaged section. They can usually be repaired for a fraction of the cost of new gutters. We come out, find the cause and quote the repair. If your gutters really are worn out, we’ll tell you that too.
What gutter problems do we repair?
Leaking seams and corners
The sealant at corners and downspout openings wears out over time. Resealing them properly, instead of adding more caulk over old caulk, usually fixes the leak for years.
Sagging gutters
This almost always means hangers or nails have pulled loose. We can rehang the gutter on brackets that run its full length, so it doesn’t sag again.
Gutters pulling away from the house
Usually the fascia (the board your gutters attach to) has rotted. The gutter is just the symptom. We replace rotted fascia boards as part of the repair, then rehang the gutter on solid wood. We’ll show you what’s going on before we quote.
Overflow in one spot
Often a downspout problem, not a gutter problem. The downspout may be partly blocked, too small, or the gutter may slope the wrong way.
Storm and branch damage
We can replace one damaged section and match the color to the rest. We make gutters on site, so matching your existing seamless gutters is easy.
Downspout failures
Loose elbows, crushed sections, and underground drain connections that have come apart or clogged. More on downspouts
My gutters overflow but they’re clean. What’s wrong?
This is the most common call we get, and dirt is rarely the cause. Here are the usual reasons, most likely first:
- The downspout is partly blocked, often lower down or where it enters an underground drain.
- The gutter slopes the wrong way, so water pools at one end.
- The downspout opening is too small for the amount of roof draining into it.
- The gutter is too small for your roof.
- Water shoots over the gutter on a steep roof, so the gutter needs repositioning.
Each one has a different fix, and most aren’t expensive.
When do we recommend replacement instead of repair?
- Store-bought gutters leaking at several joints. If three of ten joints leak, fixing them just means waiting for the next one.
- Widespread rot in the board behind the gutter. The gutter has to come off anyway.
- Gutters that have been repaired again and again. At some point the aluminum is too worn to fix.
- Gutters that are too small for the roof. If a 5-inch gutter has always overflowed, no repair will fix that.
Common questions
Do you charge to look at it?
No. The visit and the written quote are free.
Can you match my existing gutter color?
Usually. Aluminum gutters come in many factory colors, and we can get very close on anything installed in the last 20 years or so.
How quickly can you come out?
We will get back to you within 24 hours on business days. We can normally visit within a few days. If water is getting into your house, tell us when you call and we’ll put you first.
Is it worth repairing gutters before selling the house?
Often, yes. Home inspectors check gutters and water stains early. A repair costs far less than a price cut over water damage.
