When gutters clog, sag or pull loose, the water they were built to move ends up in your fascia, foundation and basement. We install seamless gutters and guards, repair what can be repaired, and clean gutters across Beavercreek, Kettering, Xenia and the Miami Valley.
The work
Formed to length from a continuous aluminum coil, so the only seams are at corners and downspout outlets. Fewer seams means fewer places to leak.
On lots with trees, guards cut down on cleanings and keep leaves and seed pods from packing the downspouts.
Sagging runs rehung, separated seams resealed, loose hangers replaced, crushed downspouts swapped out.
Spring and fall cleanings, with downspouts flushed so water actually leaves the roof.
Added, relocated or extended so water discharges well away from the foundation.
Soft fascia gets replaced before new gutters go on. On homes built before 1978, painted fascia falls under EPA lead-safe rules, and Roundhouse is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm.
How it is built
An inch of rain on a 1,500 square foot roof is roughly 900 gallons of water, and the Dayton area averages around 40 inches of rain a year. Gutters only handle that if they are sized and hung correctly.
5 inch K style gutters suit most homes. Large or steep roofs and long runs get 6 inch gutters to keep up in a downpour.
Gutters slope about a quarter inch for every 10 feet toward the downspout. Too flat and water sits. Too steep and it overshoots the outlet.
Placed so no section of gutter carries more water than it can drain, typically one for every 30 to 40 feet of run.
Downspouts empty at least 4 to 6 feet from the foundation, with extensions or splash blocks where the grade needs help.
Hidden hangers spaced about every 2 feet and fastened into solid fascia, so the gutters hold under snow and ice.
Winter
Ice dams form when attic heat melts snow on the roof and the water refreezes at the cold eave. The ice backs water up under the shingles and loads the gutters with weight they were not hung to carry. Gutters fastened into soft fascia, or hung with hangers spaced too far apart, are the ones that pull loose.
The fixes are solid fascia, hangers every 2 feet, and attic ventilation that keeps the roof deck cold. Ice and water shield along the eaves is part of every Roundhouse roof replacement for this reason.
Warning signs
Any of these is worth a free look before it turns into a roof repair, rotted fascia or a wet basement.
Pricing
Priced by the linear foot of gutter, measured on site.
Second story runs take more ladder work and time.
6 inch gutters and oversized downspouts cost more than standard 5 inch.
The number of downspouts and extensions the roof needs.
An add on, priced by the foot.
Rotted fascia found during removal gets replaced, and you approve it before the work happens.
With a new roof
The drip edge and the gutters work together at the roof edge, and the best time to replace one is when the other is already coming off. The crew is on site, any soft fascia is exposed, and pricing both together usually lowers the total. If your gutters are more than 20 years old or already sagging, ask for them on the same estimate.
Our roof replacement page covers that side of the job.
