Gutter Installation & Replacement in Lakewood, CO

What kills gutters here isn't rain — it's hail and snow. A single front-range hailstorm dents runs beyond saving, and a heavy spring snow will peel a marginally hung gutter right off the fascia. So a replacement done right for this climate means hangers spaced closer than the national default, fastened into sound wood, with the system pitched to drain fast. That last part matters more than it sounds: a gutter holding standing water becomes an ice dam anchor in January.

Downspouts are half the system and get half the attention. A gutter that catches water and then drops it at the corner of the foundation has moved the problem three feet. Every replacement includes routing discharge genuinely away from the house — extensions, elbows, splash blocks, whatever the grade calls for — because the point of the whole exercise is dry soil at the foundation, and that's decided at the bottom of the downspout, not the top.

The fascia conversation happens before the install. New gutters hang on the fascia board, and if that wood is soft from years of the old gutter overflowing behind it, new hangers won't hold. I check it on the estimate, and where sections need replacing, that's part of the same job — fascia, then gutters, one visit. It's the difference between a system that lasts twenty years and one that sags in three.
