Near Latham Park
Latham Park sits two blocks northeast of the courthouse and has a historic bandstand. A house on streets laid out around an 1853 park can be among the older ones in town, and a later addition on it needs its own gutter.
Seamless gutter installation in Lincoln for houses of the 1960s and 1970s
A house from that era is now fifty to sixty years old. In that time most have added a deck, a sunroom, a bigger garage or a reworked roof line, and the gutters often did not follow. When you need new gutters in Lincoln, the question is usually which edges are bare.
A roll forming machine at your driveway turns aluminum coil into a single channel as long as the eave, in .032 gauge, with hidden brackets inside. Seamless gutters in Lincoln that are formed on site never have to be trimmed to a stock length, and every elevation gets exactly the run it needs.
Where installation calls come from around town
The original 1853 parks organize the older part of the city.
Near Scully Park
Scully Park is the other 1853 park, southwest of the courthouse. A new roof section near it needs a run of its own, tied to a downspout that does not shed onto the roof below.
Across the courthouse square district
The Courthouse Square Historic District is bounded by Sangamon, Pekin, Chicago, Delaware, Broadway and Pulaski Streets. We measure irregular edges one section at a time.
Sizing and freezing
Lincoln stays below freezing on about 126 days a year.
With 39.83 inches of precipitation and 19.3 inches of snow in an average year, a gutter here carries rain, snowmelt and refreezing water. We recommend 6 inch gutters and 3x4 downspouts over 5 inch and 2x3, so there is room for a thaw to run off before it turns to ice at the edge.
Where the water goes
Lincoln's wastewater system was designed as a combined sewer, carrying sanitary flow and stormwater together. That is worth keeping in mind when choosing outlets.
- 01
Keep it on the lot
We plan each downspout to discharge onto your own grade, away from the foundation, instead of straight toward the street.
- 02
Give additions their own path
A new roof section gets a dedicated downspout, so it does not pour onto the older shingles below.
- 03
Mind the walkways
Outlets are placed so that water does not cross a path or a step, where a freeze could make it a hazard.
Have these ready for the estimate
A few answers help us measure.
- Which roof edges are new or have never had a gutter
- Where water collects or freezes near the house
- Whether you plan another addition soon
- Any limbs that overhang the new eave

What homeowners say
Well priced, reliable, responsible with property, and a job well done. We get a lot of acorns in one upper gutter. Gutter guys took care of everything and all gutters are completely clear and fully efficient. Second time we have had Nathan come out for service/cleaning. Thank you so much and see you again in the future!
I had one seriously clogged gutter that I could not clear myself. I called the Gutter Guys, and they had Devon come out at a time convenient for me. He cleared and adjusted to prevent further issues. Devon is very pleasant person to talk to, he explains everything well.
Pete from The Gutter Guys did an awesome job on my Gutter cleaning. He explained everything before hand and took pictures of the gutters after cleaning. Very happy with the job. I will definitely be using them for all future cleanings. I also would like to add that he was very friendly and polite which is another bonus.
Gutter installation questions in Lincoln
How do I find a gutter installer in Lincoln who forms seamless runs on site?
Ask whether the crew brings a roll forming machine to your house. We do, so every run is the exact length of your eave. Rain gutter installation in Lincoln goes best when the length is measured, not guessed.
Can you add a new run to one side of the house?
Yes, a single elevation or addition is a normal job. We match the size to the rest of the roof. If the neighboring runs are failing, we will tell you, and replacement may be the better plan.
Does pitch matter in a Lincoln winter?
Yes. A gutter hung with the right pitch drains toward the downspout, so less water sits in the channel to freeze. With 126 days a year below freezing, that matters more here than in a milder town.
