Most homeowners don't think about their gutters until water is pouring over the side, foundation cracks appear, or the basement floods. By then, the damage is done — and the repair bill is far higher than the cost of a quality gutter system would have been.
Your gutters do one job, but they do it for your entire home: they direct rainwater away from your foundation. A typical St. Louis home sheds about 1,500 gallons of water during a single 1-inch rainstorm. Without gutters, all of that water lands at your foundation and saturates the ground around your home. Multiply by 30+ rainstorms a year for 20+ years and you've got cracked foundations, basement seepage, mold, and tens of thousands in unnecessary repairs.
The good news: a quality gutter system, properly sized and installed, prevents all of this for around 1% of your home's value, and lasts 25–30 years.
Sagging, leaking, undersized, or missing gutters cause the following — every single one of which we've seen on homes whose owners thought "the gutters look fine":
This is the most common question we get on gutter calls. Here's the straight answer:
| 5" K-Style (Standard) | 6" K-Style (Heavy-Duty) | |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 1.2 gallons/foot | 2.0 gallons/foot |
| Best for | Small-to-medium homes, simple roofs, gentle pitch | Larger homes, steep roofs, multiple-story drainage |
| Roof Area Served | Up to ~600 sq ft per downspout | Up to ~1,200 sq ft per downspout |
| Downspout Size | 2"x3" | 3"x4" |
| Cost | $8–$10/linear ft | $10–$13/linear ft |
| Clog Frequency | Higher (smaller cross-section) | Lower (40% more capacity) |
Our recommendation for most St. Louis homes: 6-inch gutters. Here's why — St. Louis storm bursts can drop 1–2 inches of rain in 20 minutes. A 5" gutter on anything bigger than a small ranch will overflow during these events, even when "clean." The extra $200–$500 to upgrade to 6" pays for itself by preventing one foundation issue.
We use 5" gutters when:
Pricing breaks down by linear footage of gutter, number of downspouts, and any extras. Here's what to expect:
We provide a written estimate before any work begins, with all line items itemized. No surprises.
Honest answer: sometimes yes, sometimes no. Depends on your trees and your willingness to clean gutters.
Aluminum gutters come in factory-applied colors that won't fade, peel, or chip — they're warranted for 20+ years. We stock the most common St. Louis colors and can order specialty colors with 5–10 day lead time.
Most homeowners match their gutters to the trim color (white or cream for traditional homes, charcoal/bronze for modern). The trick is to make gutters disappear — when they match the trim well, they're invisible from the curb.
A typical home (180–250 ft) takes 1 day. Smaller homes can be 4–6 hours. We arrive in the morning, fabricate gutters on-site, install, attach downspouts, test with a hose, and clean up.
25–30 years with proper installation and reasonable maintenance. We use .032" aluminum (the thicker grade) — not the .025" thin stuff some installers use.
Yes. Old gutter removal, disposal, and any minor fascia repair are included in our standard installation price.
No. If the fascia is rotten or compromised, we replace it before installing new gutters. Fascia repair is quoted separately at $30–$80/linear foot of damaged wood.
Yes, as long as it's dry and above freezing. Sealants and adhesives perform best between 50–80°F, but we work year-round when conditions permit.
No, gutters do not require permits in St. Louis County or surrounding municipalities.
1-year workmanship warranty from us, plus 20-year factory finish warranty from the aluminum manufacturer (no peeling or fading).
Yes. We assess the existing fascia, plan the slope and downspout locations, and install a complete gutter system on homes that previously had none.
