Our Gutter Process

From Call to Compliant Gutters: Our 5-Step Process

From your first call to the final walkthrough, we handle every detail. Licensed and insured since 2008, we've installed thousands of gutters across Chicago. Here's exactly how we work.

Step 1: Free Inspection & Estimate We start by inspecting your existing gutters, fascia, and downspouts. We check for rot, pitch issues, and proper drainage. Then we measure your roofline and discuss your options—seamless aluminum, copper, or steel. You get a written estimate with itemized labor and materials, including manufacturer warranties from GAF or CertainTeed. No surprises. Step 2: Material Selection & Design Once you approve the estimate, we help you choose the right gutter system for your home. For most Chicago homes, we recommend 5-inch K-style seamless aluminum in a color that matches your trim. For historic or high-end properties, we offer 6-inch half-round copper that will patina beautifully. We also design downspout placement to keep water away from your foundation, with extensions or underground drains as needed. Step 3: Professional Installation Our crew arrives on schedule with a truck-mounted seamless gutter machine. We fabricate each section on-site to your exact measurements—no seams, no leaks. We replace any rotted fascia board and install hidden hangers every 24 inches for maximum strength. Downspouts are secured with heavy-duty straps and connected to splash blocks or drain tiles. We work efficiently, usually completing a typical home in one to two days. Step 4: Quality Check & Cleanup After installation, we test every downspout with a garden hose to ensure water flows freely and away from your foundation. We inspect all seams and joints. Then we clean up thoroughly: we pick up all debris, magnets for nails, and haul away old gutters. We leave your property spotless. Step 5: Final Walkthrough & Warranty Activation We walk the property with you, showing you how your new gutters work and answering any questions. We activate your manufacturer-backed warranty—for example, GAF System Plus for aluminum gutters—and give you a copy. We also leave you with our 18-year workmanship guarantee, backed by our Illinois license #104-014892 and 4.9-star Google rating. If you ever need service, just call (312) 313-3253.

Common Questions

Your Gutter Installation Questions, Answered

We've been installing gutters on Chicago homes since 2008. Here's what homeowners typically ask before booking—no fluff, just straight talk from our crew.

Q: Do you install gutters on flat roofs or just sloped? A: We install on both. Many Chicago homes have flat or low-slope roofs, and we've got experience with those setups. We'll recommend the right gutter profile and downspout placement to handle our freeze-thaw cycles. Q: What gutter materials do you offer? A: Seamless aluminum is our go-to—it's durable, won't rust, and we can custom-form it on-site for a perfect fit. For historic homes in Wicker Park or Logan Square, we also offer copper gutters. No matter what, we use heavy-gauge hangers and hidden brackets. Q: How much does gutter installation cost in Chicago? A: It varies by linear footage, number of stories, and material. For a typical 2-story bungalow in Pilsen, seamless aluminum runs $7–$12 per linear foot installed, including downspouts. We'll give you a free written estimate with no guesswork. Q: Do you include gutter guards? A: We can install gutter guards as part of the job. We're certified for GAF and Owens Corning leaf guards. That said, we'll be honest if your property doesn't need them—we won't upsell you. Q: Is your work covered by a warranty? A: Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 5-year labor warranty, and the gutter material itself carries a manufacturer warranty (usually 20 years for aluminum). Plus, we're Illinois Licensed Contractor #104-014892 and fully insured. Q: How long does installation take? A: For a standard single-family home in Evanston or Lincoln Park, expect one to two days. We work efficiently but never cut corners—our crew has been doing this together for years. Q: Can you match existing gutters on a partial replacement? A: Absolutely. We carry profiles from GAF, CertainTeed, and Malarkey to match most existing systems. We'll take a look and let you know if a full replacement makes more sense.
