"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 needed simple box gutter repair, and Blockbuster really came through. Blockbuster did the work other roofing companies could not do. They went above and beyond. I will definitely have them back in the spring to do the roof. Happy to have found my new roofing company."
"I had a problem with my roof gutter overflowing in heavy rain. The gutter was recently installed by someone else and that roofer was non responsive. I put out a call for bids and the owner of Royal Fox Roofing contacted me quickly (same morning as I asked them for a bid). He quoted me a great price to come and repair the roof/gutter after we discussed the issue. A member of his team arrived around noon, diagnosed the problem and made a repair to the improperly installed roof shingles and gutter where the overflow was occurring. Same day service is rare and nice to have, especially for a roof problem. Many thanks to Royal Fox!"
"Dan S was very thorough in his inspection of a leaking gutter. We have had Gutter Helmet over our gutters for many years and have been very happy with the performance. An electric wire heater has prevented freezing and ice damage. He found a rusted through spot of our gutter but no debris build up attesting to the Helmet doing its job."
"Jim and his crew did a great job putting a top coat of asphalt on the driveway, spearing the cost of having it replaced altogether. Then they came back a few months later to do the sealing work. Jim was easy to work with, promptly responding to all questions and the overall cost was very reasonable. I would definitely use his services again."
"Rich did several jobs for us. Roof flashing, electrical, and sewage repair. I know I can count on Rich to handle jobs professionally and on time. Heâ s always been available."
"Very professional, showed up next day to repair. No questions around safety or integrity and provided drone footage before and after repair. Made sure to meet requirements and not go overboard with forcing additional, unnecessary repairs. Did a great job of providing life estimates of each level of repair. Would recommend to anybody!"
"Planet roof did an amazing job on my house. We got our roof, siding, gutters and gutter guards done and could not be happier. I recommend them to everyone"
Gutter Repair and Replacement questions, answered by experts
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.
Any small amount of standing water can be damaging to your gutters. It’s recommended that a ¼ inch puddle or more should be addressed. Failure to keep water from pooling in your gutters can result in clogs, algae growth, and pests that damage your gutters over time.
You may have a clogged gutter. Downspouts can also clog if your gutter collects too much debris. Hire a professional gutter cleaner, and if you still have problems, install a gutter guard (which prevents debris from entering your gutter system) and a downspout extension (which helps drain water further away from your foundation, so it doesn't pool near your house). Follow these tips to keep your gutter downspouts clean.
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.
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.
