"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!"

I was very impressed with the quality of their work and their professionalism. I will not hesitate to hire them again for future projects. I am also sharing some photos of the completed project so others can see the excellent results and quality of their workmanship. This company is excellent, and I highly recommend them 100% to anyone looking for a roof or siding replacement, or any type of repairs.

Gutter Repair and Replacement FAQs, answered by experts
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.
Buried downspouts can freeze during cold weather as cold water runs through them. If you’ve discovered your downspouts are frozen, you can carefully pour hot water down the top of the downspout to defrost them. If that doesn’t work, you may need to dig your downspout back up. Avoid trying to break the ice from the exterior using a hammer as this can cause cracks and damage to your downspout.
To avoid freezing the future, consider adding a heating cable to the exterior, which can adjust heat based on the surrounding temperature.

Excessive pitch in gutters can cause water to flow too rapidly, leading to a decrease in the gutter's water-holding capacity; consequently, during heavy rainstorms, water may awkwardly splash outside the gutters. Ideally, you should aim for a quarter-inch of gutter slope for every 10 feet of gutter run. However, it's important to note that this guideline may vary depending on your home's structure and the type of gutters being installed.
