"Fast response to request for quote. Thorough explanation of repair needed & cost of the job. Prompt & efficient repair of gutters & replacement of gutter guards."
"I'd been asking my husband forever to deal with the gutters, but we never got around to it, so I?m really glad we hired professionals for the gutter cleaning and covering. AST Contracting did a great job, worked quickly, and made the whole process easy. It?s such a relief knowing it?s all taken care of now!"
"Jordan and Baker Construction Co were recommended to me by two neighbors on my same cul-de-sac who had their gutters replaced by them. Jordan was very prompt in responding to the questions I had, having Zach come out to do measurements and show me gutter color samples, and then getting me a quote. The work was completed promptly and the cleanup was thorough. I strongly recommend their services. :-)"
"Everyone was very professional and friendly. We had an unforeseen problem arise and they dealt with it very well and we were able to get all of our gutters replaced. They look great."
"The home genius team was very helpful. They put my roof on a while ago and I had a leak recently that they came and inspected. We determined that my box gutters needed fixed and I had them do the job. Walter the project manager was very helpful coordinating the work and the work lance did an amazing job repairing the box gutters."
"I initially wanted to hire this company to install gutter guards. They looked at the gutters and told me they were unnecessary because I have no trees around the house at all. Such honesty! SO I hired them to clean and inspect the gutters and fix multiple leaks. They did and during the detailed inspection found a problem with the way the roof shingles were installed on one side of the patio several years ago. The wood on the patio roof was rotting out. I called the roofing company and they fixed the shingles. So thanks to All American Gutters I now have functional, clean gutters and the rain is properly draining into the gutters. Very happy. This company is honest, thorough, and management is committed to excellence."
"The installers arrived early which was a plus. What I hadn't been aware of was that Crown uses subcontractors for their work. They are subcontractors they have used for years and the work was completed timely and with excellence. They did clean up as well, another plus. We added gutter guards to our order and I did not realize this would be an additional day process. This could have been due to my scheduling issues, however Crown did not make me aware of the 2 step process when I accepted their bid. Crown did insure I was satisfied with the work and came out to insure their subs did the best job possible for us."
"Rob was great!! He was able to provide estimate over phone, arrived about two hours later and successfully completed repair while going over and above what I initially requested! I would hire Rob again!"
Gutter Repair and Replacement questions, answered by experts
Water overflow, foundation damage, and mold growth are risks.
The trick to getting gleaming gutters can vary based on the material of your gutters. Aluminum gutters can often be restored to pristine condition by using a cloth to scrub them with a solution consisting of 1 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water. Vinyl gutters can be whitened using dish soap and water. For deeply stained vinyl gutters, adding bleach with water and dish soap may help to remove black streaks. Many retailers sell premixed gutter sprays. Applying cleaning solutions to dry gutters before rinsing can help cleaners attach to dirt and grime for easier removal.
No—gutters should be designed and properly installed so they are ready to handle any level of rainflow from your roof. If you notice pooling water around your gutters or on the roof, it’s imperative that you contact a gutter repair pro near you—the slope of your gutters could be off and need adjusting.
On average, gutters need to be replaced every 20 years. Unprotected gutters in more extreme weather conditions are more prone to breaking and may need to be replaced sooner. Meanwhile, proper maintenance can extend your gutter’s life span even further. That said, proper installation, gutter hangers to provide additional support, and gutter guards or helmets all play an important role in how long your gutters last.
If your gutters get overwhelmed every time it rains, adding an extra downspout is a solution. First, you'll need to decide where to add the downspout. If your current setup only has a single downspout, one option is to place a new one at the opposite end of the gutter. If you already have a downspout at each end, adding a third one in the middle can help to lighten the load.
You can hire a professional to add a downspout yourself by cutting into the existing gutter and attaching the necessary parts, such as an outlet and brackets.
