GUTTER INSTALLATION IN COLORADO SPRINGS

Understanding Gutters: How They Work

A gutter system might seem simple, but it's your home's first line of defense against water damage. It has two main jobs: collecting rainwater from your roof and directing it safely away from your foundation.

The Basics of Your Gutter System

Your gutter system has two essential parts: Gutter Runs (the channels that catch water along your roofline) and Downspouts (the vertical pipes that carry water to the ground).

Getting water away from your foundation is crucial. That's why gutter runs need proper pitching to flow correctly, and downspouts need angled extensions to direct water at least 6 feet from your home.

Diving Deeper: Components and Considerations

1. Gutter Runs

The horizontal channels along your roofline come in various sizes and materials. We offer 5-inch and 6-inch gutters, typically made from aluminum, steel, or primed steel. All our gutters are seamless and custom-fit to your home, eliminating leaky joints and ensuring a perfect fit.

Sizing Considerations:

  • 5-inch gutters: Standard for most homes
  • 6-inch gutters: Recommended for homes with steep roofs or heavy tree coverage

If you're experiencing overflow with 5-inch gutters but don't want to upgrade, we can install splash guards at problem areas.

Gutter Guards:

While optional, gutter guards can significantly reduce maintenance by keeping leaves and debris out. Ask us about options that work best for your home and budget.

2. Downspouts

These vertical sections come in two sizes: 2×3-inch (standard) and 3×4-inch (for higher water volume). We can add hinged extensions for areas with high foot traffic and splash diverters to protect your landscaping.

Insurance & Replacement Considerations

Most insurance policies follow a "like-kind and quality" principle. If you have 5-inch aluminum gutters, that's what insurance will cover for replacement. However, you can always upgrade by paying the difference.

We offer 32 factory pre-finished colors to match your home's aesthetic perfectly.
