Complete gutter & Roofing solutions, start to finish.
We provide professional seamless gutter installation designed to efficiently direct rainwater away from your home. Using high-quality aluminum materials and precise measurements, our gutters are custom-fit to your property for maximum durability and performance. Proper installation helps prevent foundation damage, roof leaks, and exterior wear while enhancing your home’s overall protection.
Our process depends on the type of installation we’re doing: upgrading existing gutters or installing new gutters.
The first thing we do is carefully remove all of the old gutter system, downspouts, and gutter guard, if present.
After all of the old system is removed, we can easily inspect the fascia and soffit for wood rot. If we find any, we will let you know and provide an on-the-spot estimate for their replacement. When replacing rotten boards, we prefer Hardi Plank synthetic lifetime materials instead of traditional wood. Even though it costs a little more than wood, it lasts much longer and prevents future wood rot.
From here, our process is the same as a new gutter installation.
2. New Gutter Installation
We measure the sections of your house where the new gutters and downspouts will go. After that, we fabricate brand-new seamless gutters on-site based on those measurements.
Our installers then go up the ladders and install your gutters, fine-tuning the gutter’s slope towards the downspouts for optimal rain water removal and performance.
After we install the gutters and downspouts, we connect to your existing underground drains or install a rain barrel if you’d like.
Cleanup is the most important step. Our crew visually inspects the property numerous times to ensure we didn’t leave anything behind. Our installers will also be mindful of your landscaping and pets.
Cleaning your gutters is just as important as changing the oil in your car, or replacing the bag in your vacuum cleaner. Keeping your gutters cleared of debris helps them work the way they were intended. Clogged gutters allow water to pool and eventually overflow, wreaking havoc on your home. Water can destroy windowsills, door frames, and even damage your home’s foundation.

Out of sight, out of mind. a lot of people don’t realize they need their gutters cleaned, until they’re rotten, leaking, overflowing, or causing other damage.
Some are unaware that leaves retain moisture and that needles are acidic, virtually rotting their gutters
Physical limitations or fear of heights, amplified by roof type or pitch.
Water backing up from clogged gutters will cause moisture damage to the wood fascia and soffits around the house. When gutters have debris piled up above the flashing or shingle line, the debris can hold moisture on the fascia boards. The moisture can also affect the roof sheathing and framing beyond the fascia. The debris will act like a wick and bring water in the bottom of the gutter up to the fascia. An area that becomes rotted will quickly get worse if the leak is not taken care of by cleaning your gutters.
1. The Cause
Soffit and fascia damage is typically caused by intrusive water damage usually by leaky gutters. This causes wood rot.
Ideally when a rain storm comes through, your roof should act as a system to direct rain from the top of your house to the ground without any water getting in. The rain hits the shingles, goes down the slope and into the gutters, then through a downspout to the ground safely away from your home.
However, residue is left on the edge of the shingles which will slowly drip down and get behind the gutter and rest on the soffit. Over time this will cause the soffit and fascia to develop wood rot. To protect this from happening, newer homes use a drip edge, which acts as a barrier to redirect those stray drips of water into the gutter. Drip edges are key to maintaining your home, but they are often missing or damaged on old homes.
2. The Solution
Regular Maintenance of Gutters to Avoid Soffit and Fascia Damage
Undetected gutter leaks can cause a massive repair project, which is why it’s important to clean your gutters regularly. If your gutters are high off the ground, like in the case of this historic home where the roof was 30-feet up it may be a good idea to call a professional to take a look (unless you own a long ladder and are comfortable with heights).
Remember, just because a tree doesn’t hang over your roof doesn’t mean debris can’t get in your gutters. Even if you aren’t near any trees it’s always a good idea to check you gutters twice a year, once during a fall cleaning after the leaves fall and again in the spring to ensure no ice damage has occurred
While the best way to check out a leak is to inspect your gutters, that isn’t a realistic option for many people who shouldn’t risk being high up on a ladder. Some great things to look for from the ground are:

If you spot soffit or fascia damage, it is a good idea to call a local repair company. Stopping wood rot early on can save you hundreds of dollars by leaving salvageable wood. Waiting too long will mean there is no wood to work with and it will all need replaced instead of just some. If you’re in the Raleigh area and notice any water damage to your soffits or fascia, you can give us a call and we would be glad to help!
