"One of my neighbors who remodels houses recommended Custom Insulation to me so I engaged them to replace gutters in the front of the house and in some areas in the back last year. I had one issue and the owner promptly and generously addressed it to my full satisfaction. Recently, during a heavy downpour, one of the small gutters overflowed significantly. Thinking it was improperly installed, I called the company and the owner came out himself the next day! After inspecting the gutter, he determined the down spout and extender were clogged and had caused the problem. He cleaned it out and tested the flow. He diagnosed the problem correctly, to my chagrin. When I asked him how much I owed him, he refused to charge me. I had written an excellent review last year for their installation work but I just had to do a follow up review because that kind of customer service is extraordinary. The owner deserves super praise for his ethics and quality. If I need insulation in my house or more gutter repair, I will call Custom Insulation and recommend that anyone looking for gutter or insulation work call them."

I thank them having my repair job done quick due to more up coming storms in my areas and the great quality work they did for me."

"I wish there was an extra star to give them. Rick and crew showed up on time as promised. They are very professional and conscientious. The gutters were cleaned as promised. The fascia repair appeared initially to be superficial and cosmetic, but turned out to be more damage than first thought. Their carpentry skills are excellent. They were patient and took the time to do the repair correctly to ensure no further damage results. I would highly recommend them and would hire them again for other home repairs and maintenance."
Gutter Repair and Replacement questions, answered by experts
It is possible to repair your own gutters, but we don’t recommend it. First, gutters need to sit at a precise slope to direct water toward the downspouts but also appear level from the yard, and this task is challenging to get right through DIY gutter repair. Second, any mistakes you make could be costly if they cause water damage or foundation damage. It might seem unnecessary to spend $400 on professional gutter repair, but it pales in comparison to what you might pay if you make a mistake doing the work yourself.
The best way to seal gutters is with a combination of waterproof roofing cement and silicone gutter sealant. This powerful duo works to prevent water from escaping through holes and cracks while allowing for breathability. While you can use polyurethane sealants, silicone sealants tend to be more flexible when it comes to climate. Silicone is UV-resistant and bonds well to many surfaces. However, polyurethane sealant bonds better with wood.
There are a handful of things you can look for to determine if you need to pay for gutter repairs, including the following:
Water leaking from the underside of your gutters during rainfall
Visible gaps between your gutters and your roof
Frequent issues with gutters overflowing or holding standing water
Gutters that sag or pull away from the house
Water damage to soffits, fascia boards, or other building materials
Mold growth on your exterior walls
Soil erosion underneath your roof overhang
Foundation leaks or inward bowing of foundation walls
Properly installed gutters should be able to function normally in heavy rains. Allowing water to overflow can cause water damage around your home's basement or foundation. If the overflow is caused by a simple clog, paying a gutter cleaning cost of $125 to $250 may be enough to get the gutters running clear again. If there's a larger issue, you may need to repair or replace your gutters.
There are gutter repair experts who specialize in gutter maintenance. These professionals can help with clogging, leaks, sagging, or other issues. An experienced pro should also be able to tell you when a repair won’t be enough and a full replacement will be necessary. Keeping your gutters in great shape is how you prevent bigger problems from forming.
