"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."
"It was easy scheduling an appointment through the Angi app. Carlos showed up on time (a bit early) and was able to give me a written estimate for the work, which included repairing two gutter corners and replacing a downspout. I was anxious to get the work completed and hired them on-the-spot. Fortunately, Carlos and his team were able to come out the next morning. They were on time, completed the work efficiently and cleaned up afterwards. It hasn't rained yet but I'm sure all will be well!"
"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."
"Came out to do an estimate, and didn't provide it to me for many days or contact me, despite multiple phone calls I made and messages left. While I understand they were swamped with demand due to a snowstorm, I was led to believe they would be more responsive - and the responsibility lands with them to set expectations with me on turnaround time. In the end, they did repair our gutters in about 10 minutes, and I can't complain - it was fast, albeit very expensive. If I can find an alternative, I wouldn't hire them again."
"Their company was the best. We told him what we needed and they showed up within two weeks. We couldn’t believe how cheap it was to do the work. I actually got a price from leaf guide for $1500 an American Gutter did the whole job For only $95. I would highly recommend them and will absolutely call upon them for any further needs we have."
"As detailed above, everything went well. Leaf Blaster gutter guards performed well, and RJ Scalzi did a great job with the installation.. In short: save money, great soltuion, and a solid contractor."
"I just got my gutters done and they did pan excellent job. It was a slow season so they got the job done rather swiftly with more person power. My gutters look amazing a d they come with a warranty. They also made sure to do the best possible system to keep water away from my home and garage. Thank you!"
"Luis and his gutter replacement crew did a fantastic professional job replacing old, rotted wooden gutters and replacing them with aluminium gutters. The replacement gutters were the same black color as the gutters they replaced, meaning that there was no loss of aesthetic visual appeal resulting from this work. The crew put in two (2) ten (10) hour days as they encountered a good deal of unexpected rot in the roofing frame behind the fascia boards.. This rot, of course, had to be replaced with new wood. Luis and I negotiated a reasonable additional cost to handle the extra time needed to accomplish this replacement that could not have been foreseen during the initial assessment on which the job estimate was based. On Day 2 Of the job, Luis supervised a clean-up of the entire area, removing all nails and scraps of metal. He even took away the old rotted wooden gutters, thereby saving me a trip to the dump to dispose of this material. I highly recommend the excellent work of Luis an"
Gutter Repair and Replacement questions, answered by experts
Yes, it’s possible to replace only one section of a gutter, and it’s a common repair. Often, a tree limb will damage a gutter on one side of the house, or constant weather will cause early corrosion. Gutters are often joined together with couplings that are easy to remove and swap out. For this reason, some homeowners will purchase extra gutters when they install them to have spare sections to use for replacement later.
Minor repairs like sealing small leaks or cleaning debris are DIY-friendly, but professional repairs ensure long-term stability and proper drainage.
Water overflow, foundation damage, and mold growth are risks.
With routine maintenance, gutters don’t usually need to be replaced for 20 years, but there are warning signs that they might need early replacement. Signs that your gutters need to be replaced include sagging, visible cracks or holes, peeling paint, rust, standing water in your gutter, and water leaking into your basement. Pushing off replacing your gutters can lead to extensive damage to both the interior and exterior of your home. Regular maintenance can help your gutters last all 20 years — and sometimes, even longer.
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.
