"My experience with Aho was great! The communication was very prompt and professional. My job was a little more complicated than a standard gutter and Aho was up for the job. We arranged a day to do the work and the team was there on time and ready to roll. They finished the job that same day and left no trace that they were there. The gutters look amazing and after the first rainstorm test, they have appeared to solve my drainage problem. And the gutters look amazing. I would highly recommend Aho for any job big or small."
"We've had only great experiences with Fortuna Gutters. We have know one of the owners for several years and can vouch for his honesty and integrity. They recently cleaned our dryer vent and ductwork and did a great job at a reasonable price. They were professional and followed through on everything we discussed. I highly reccomend."

"They came, they gave me a date, they did their thing and I gave them a check. They did a good job. They got rid of all the debris that were all over the gutters. I would recommend them and I would use them again."
"Contractors connected quickly, gave a fair price, and replaced and installed all gutters expertly. We’re thrilled with the result and our experience with this group."
"Gutter Shell is the only company you should consider if you need gutters installed with high quality materials and no headaches! Dave and the 2 Tom’s are the best! They have been doing this for a long time and get it done right! They are prompt to correct any issues or concerns and work with you to design the most appropriate system for your home design. Our home design with multiple roof lines is complicated so it needed skilled people We waited 1 year for a prior gutter contractor to get this work done and in the end we are glad he never came through. We feel we got a much better quality product, with prompt install, resolution of the few after issues we had, and no headaches or contractor chasing. Another plus is that gutter shell has no strapping showing on the gutters. Most do! We did not want this as it does spoil the look of the architecture to see the strapping. With Gutter Shell you have clean lines! No ugly straps showing ! If you need gutters…. Call Dave!"
Gutter Repair and Replacement questions, answered by experts
Unless you've chosen to install underground downspouts, your gutter downspouts shouldn't touch the ground. If they come into contact with the soil or pavement next to your home, rainwater can back up into them during a storm, preventing them from doing their job effectively. Instead, aim to have your downspouts end about 12 inches from the ground.
The duration of a repair job can range from a few hours to several days. Simpler issues may take 1-4 hours, while more complex work or extensive damage could take 1-3 days. The final timeline depends on the complexity of the problem, the extent of the damage, and the location of the work.
Water overflow, foundation damage, and mold growth are risks.
If you’re replacing your roof, you don’t need to worry about replacing your gutters as long as they’re functional and in good condition. Some roofers may recommend temporarily removing gutters to prevent them from damage during a roof replacement, but the right professional can reduce this risk. Replacing your gutters would only be necessary if your gutters are in bad shape and already need replacing.
Costs range from $150 to $500, depending on the damage and length of gutter needing repair.
