Installation & Replacement

Installation And Replacement

How much do new gutters cost in Salt Lake City?

Seamless aluminum runs $8 to $14 per linear foot installed, downspouts about $100 to $150 each. A typical two-story home is $1,800 to $3,500. Copper and steel cost more. Every quote is itemized by the foot.

Five-inch handles most Utah homes. Go to 6-inch on steep roofs, large roof sections draining to one gutter, and bench or canyon-mouth homes with heavy snow and melt.

Seamless. Sectional gutters have a joint every 10 feet and every joint is a future leak. Seamless gutters are formed on site to the exact length of each run.

One day for most homes, two for large or complex rooflines or when fascia needs repair.

Yes. We inspect fascia on every replacement and repair rotted boards before hanging new gutters.

Not for replacing gutters on an existing home in Salt Lake, Utah, Davis or Weber counties. HOAs may require color approval, which we help with.

More than 25 factory colors in aluminum, including white, bronze, black, clay, almond, grays and browns. We bring a sample ring to your estimate.

Yes. Many homeowners replace a failing north eave or add gutters over an entry or walkway only.

Repair & Cleaning

Repair And Cleaning

Can leaking seams be resealed?

Yes, when the metal is sound. We remove old sealant, clean the joint and apply a freeze-thaw rated sealant. Resealed seams last 5 to 10 years.

Almost always spike-and-ferrule hangers loosened by snow load. Screw-in hidden hangers on 24-inch centers fix it permanently.

Twice a year: late spring after cottonwood season and late fall after leaf drop. Add a third visit under heavy tree cover.

$150 to $250 for a single story, $200 to $400 for two stories, depending on length and debris. Maintenance plan members pay less.

Yes. We brush off the guard surface and confirm water is passing through.

Yes. Detached gutters, downspouts torn off and active leaks over living space are prioritized.

Guards & Ice

Gutter Guards, Heat Tape And Ice Dams

Are gutter guards worth it?

If mature trees are within 30 feet of the roof, yes. Micro-mesh pays for itself against professional cleanings in about five seasons. With no trees, spend the money on heat tape or a maintenance plan instead.

Stainless micro-mesh. Screen guards let fine seed and needles through. We do not install foam or brush inserts.

No, but on an eave that already ices a guard gives ice a surface to build on. Heat tape routed under or through the guard solves it.

Heat escaping through the attic melts upper-roof snow, which refreezes at the cold eave. Attic insulation and ventilation are the permanent fix; heat tape keeps the eave and gutter draining in the meantime.

About $25 to $40 per winter for a 100-foot self-regulating system on a sensor controller.

Yes, usually paired with snow guards so sliding snow does not crush the gutters.
