OUR INSTALLATION PROCESS
How We Install Seamless Gutters
Fast doesn’t have to mean sloppy. Most of our jobs are done in a single day, and every one of them is built to last a lifetime.
STEP 1 OF 5
We offer two ways to get a quote, depending on your situation.
We Come to You
For most jobs, we prefer to visit your home in person. Walking the roofline lets us assess how water is currently draining, spot any fascia issues worth flagging, and give you a truly accurate estimate.
You'll also get to meet us before committing to anything, which we think matters.
Satellite Estimate
For smaller jobs, or if you'd simply prefer not to schedule a visit, we can put together an estimate using our satellite measuring system. It's fast and surprisingly accurate for straightforward rooflines.
Just fill out the form or give us a call and we'll let you know which approach makes more sense for your home.
Either way, the estimate is free, and you’ll get a clear, itemized quote with no vague numbers and no surprises on installation day.
STEP 2 OF 5
On-Site Fabrication
This is where seamless gutters are fundamentally different from what you'd buy at a hardware store.
The Machine Comes To You
We bring a gutter machine directly to your property and fabricate your gutters on-site, cut to the exact measurements of your roofline.
One Continuous Run
There are no pre-cut sections being pieced together. The result is a continuous run of aluminum custom-made for your home.
STEP 3 OF 5
Installation
Our crew installs every component with the same level of care, whether it’s a small ranch house or a large Victorian with a complex roofline. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Gutter Apron Flashing Installed First
Before anything goes up, we check whether gutter apron flashing is already in place. If it's there and in good condition, we leave it. If it's missing or damaged, we install it as part of the job. This step matters because water that gets behind the gutter rather than into it will slowly rot the fascia board underneath, and it's a problem that's completely avoidable.
Hangers Placed at Closer Intervals
The industry standard allows for wider spacing between hangers. We install them closer together, which adds structural support that matters when gutters are holding the weight of snow and ice.
Longer, Rust-Resistant Screws
The screws that hold your hangers to the fascia board are a small detail with a big impact on longevity. We use screws long enough to get a solid bite and treated to resist rust.
GeoCel Sealant at All Joints and End Caps
GeoCel is a flexible sealant that expands and contracts with the aluminum as temperatures swing. Generic sealants crack after a few years. GeoCel doesn't.
STEP 4 OF 5
Cleanup and Walkthrough
When the job is done, we clean up completely and walk you through the finished system.
A Full Walkthrough
We'll show you the pitch, the downspout placement, and anything else worth knowing about how your new gutters work.
You Sign Off Before We Go
We make sure you're satisfied before we leave, and the site is as clean as we found it.
STEP 5 OF 5
Backed for Life
Your system is covered by a lifetime warranty on both materials and workmanship from the day it's installed.
INSTALLATION QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Installation Process
The five things Chicagoland homeowners ask most before installation day.
How long does installation take?
Most residential jobs are completed in a single day. Larger homes or more complex rooflines may take longer, and we'll always tell you upfront what to expect.
Do I need to be home during installation?
We recommend being available at the start so we can walk through the plan together, but you don't need to be home for the entire job.
Do you remove the old gutters?
Yes. Old gutter removal and disposal is handled as part of our installation process, whether the existing system is aluminum, steel, or box gutters.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. Many municipalities in the Chicagoland area require permits for gutter installation. We handle all of that on your behalf.
What if it rains on installation day?
We'll coordinate with you to reschedule if weather conditions would compromise the installation. Your project manager will be in contact ahead of time.
