Mid-1990s: Glenwood Lake Estates
The final plat was approved in 1996. A house here is near thirty, and additions and reroofed edges are where new gutter runs usually appear.
Seamless gutters in Chatham for newer homes and additions
The median Chatham home was built in 1995, and about 4 in 10 were built in 2000 or later. A house that young more often needs a gutter added or extended than torn down: a garage bay, a screened porch, a second-story addition, a roofline reworked after the first owners moved in.
For that kind of work we do seamless gutter installation in Chatham with a roll forming machine at the house. Flat aluminum coil comes out as one continuous channel the exact length of the eave, in .032 gauge, with brackets hidden inside. There is no standard length to cut down and no splice to place.
Subdivision by subdivision, the same job at different ages
Village plat records show when each neighborhood was approved. A plat date is not the build date of every house, but it brackets the era.
2001 to 2004: Breckenridge Estates, Manor Hill and Prairie Grove
Plats from 2001 and 2004. Houses in this range are old enough to have had a deck, a sunroom or a garage added.
2008 to 2017: Prairie Vista, Glendale Subdivision and Cardinal Ridge
Prairie Vista's first plat dates to 2008, Glendale's third to 2015 and Cardinal Ridge's third addition to 2017. In the newest streets the question is often a house that has no gutters on a side or a dormer.
Sizing
A bigger channel is the easy upgrade on a newer roof.
Chatham is 2.8 miles south of Springfield, where the airport averages about 38 inches of precipitation a year. We recommend 6 inch gutters with 3x4 downspouts rather than 5 inch with 2x3, because a heavy summer storm sends a large roof's worth of water to the corners in a hurry. A gutter installer in Chatham who starts at 6 inch gives that water room.
Where the water goes on a Chatham lot
Rain gutter installation in Chatham comes down to three outlet decisions.
- 01
Onto your own grade
The village runs a small storm sewer system and surveyed residents about it in 2023. We plan each downspout to drop water on your lot and let the grade carry it away from the wall.
- 02
Clear of the driveway edge
A corner downspout beside a driveway can wash across it. We set the outlet where water can flow past without crossing the pavement.
- 03
A separate path for each addition
A new roof section gets its own downspout instead of draining onto an older roof below.
- Your subdivision and street, so we know the layout
- Which sides or roof sections have no gutters yet
- Any addition that has its own roof line
- Spots where water already runs across a driveway or walk

Gutter installation questions in Chatham
Who puts new gutters on a house in Chatham?
We do. New gutters in Chatham start with measuring every eave, forming the seamless aluminum on site and hanging it on hidden brackets. New construction, additions and full systems are all part of what we install.
Can you add gutters to a screened porch or garage roof?
Yes. Small roofs shed a lot of water in a heavy rain, so we treat them as their own run and give them their own downspout, rather than letting them drain onto a larger roof.
Are 6 inch gutters worth it on a house that is under 30 years old?
Usually, yes, especially on a two-story with a large roof area. The extra width and the 3x4 downspout change little in appearance and give heavy storms more room. If your current system is failing, replacement is the related page.
