Seamless Gutter Installation in New Jersey

How a Seamless Gutter Installation Runs, Start to Finish

A typical two-storey house takes a day. We measure the eaves, roll the gutter from a coil on the truck so the run has no seams, hang it on hidden brackets screwed into the fascia, set the downspouts where the water actually collects, and flush the lot to prove the fall is right before we pack up.

Initial Consultation and Assessment

We measure the eaves, count the inside and outside corners, look at where water currently ends up on the ground, and check the fascia behind the existing gutter. Soft fascia is the thing that most often changes a gutter quote, and it is better found at the estimate than on the day.

Customized Gutter Solutions

5-inch K-style handles most New Jersey roofs. A large or steep roof, a long run, or a roof that funnels into one valley wants 6-inch gutter and 3×4 downspouts, because the standard size simply cannot carry what comes off it in a summer storm. Under heavy tree cover we will talk about guards at the same time.

Material Selection and Preparation

Aluminium for almost every house here: it does not rust, it comes in a wide range of baked-on colours, and it can be rolled seamless on site. Copper is the upgrade on older and historic homes and costs several times as much. We do not fit vinyl – it goes brittle in a New Jersey January and the joints are exactly where a gutter fails.

Professional Installation

Hung on hidden hangers screwed into the fascia rather than spike-and-ferrule, with about a quarter-inch of fall every ten feet toward the outlet. Too little fall leaves standing water; too much and the gutter looks crooked from the street. Long runs are pitched from the middle to a downspout at each end.

Quality Check and Final Inspection

We run water through the whole system before we leave – a hose at the far end of each run – and watch it reach the bottom of every downspout. If it pools anywhere, the hangers get adjusted then and there rather than after the first storm.

Clean-Up and Site Protection

Old gutter taken away, offcuts and screws collected, beds and paths swept, and a magnetic sweep where we have been working over a drive. The ladders never go on the plants.

Ask for a free written estimate and we will measure the eaves, price the run, the corners and the downspouts separately, and tell you whether the fascia behind the old gutter needs work. Call 973-960-7921 – answered at any hour – anywhere in Bergen, Hudson, Morris or Passaic county.

Why Pay for Professional Gutter Installation?

• Fall and capacity: getting a quarter-inch every ten feet over a forty-foot run, and sizing the gutter to the roof area feeding it, is the part DIY installations get wrong. A gutter that holds water is worse than no gutter, because the weight pulls the fascia apart.
• No seams: a run rolled on site has no joints to split. Sectional gutter from a merchant comes in 10-foot lengths and every joint is a future leak – which is why the section over the front door always fails first.
• The fascia: hanging new gutter on a soft fascia board wastes both. We check it, price the carpentry separately if it is needed, and do the two together so there is only one set-up.
• Ladders and height: most gutter falls happen on the second storey. We are registered in New Jersey as HIC #13VH10877700 and carry general liability cover of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate; ask for the certificate before anyone goes up.
• One visit: because we roof, we can deal with the drip edge, the fascia and the shingle edge at the same time as the gutter, instead of leaving a gap between two trades for water to get through.
