Plastic and galvanized
Both come down. The new run goes up on hidden brackets instead of on top of the old one.
Seamless gutter replacement for two ages of Lincoln house
A house from the 1930s or earlier has had its gutters replaced at least once, often with whatever sectional run was on the shelf. A house from the 1960s or 1970s is still on its first system or its second. Both end up in the same place: seams open, hangers loosen, and water runs down the wall.
We take the old run off completely and form seamless aluminum at the house, hung on hidden brackets in .032 gauge. For anyone comparing a gutter replacement company in Lincoln, ask whether the old system comes off or gets covered.
Two ages, two kinds of tear-out
What we find on the roof edge depends on when the house went up.
- 01
Built in 1939 or earlier
About 1 home in 5 in Lincoln. The eave may have settled, so the new run is formed on site to follow the line that is there rather than a stock length.
- 02
Built in the 1960s and 1970s
About 40 percent of homes. Fasteners that have held for decades loosen around the same time, so a run can give out all at once.
Gutter Replacement in Lincoln
Gutter replacement in Lincoln is the straightforward solution when original systems are sagging, rusting at the seams, or simply cannot handle the debris and water volume that rural Logan County weather produces. The Gutter Guys provide seamless gutter installation using material formed to your roofline on-site, with no joints to clog or fail. We remove the old gutters, set the new ones at the correct pitch, and confirm full drainage before we leave.
Fifty years
Ice pulls on every hanger in a run that already sags.
Lincoln averages 126 days a year below freezing. Water that sits in a sagging gutter turns to ice, and the ice pulls on every hanger. We reset hangers and reseal joints where a repair will hold, and we say plainly when it will not.
What comes off and what goes up
We see every kind of old system.
Sectional gutters
A new continuous channel replaces runs joined every few feet, so the leak points are gone.
Nailed gutters
Spikes loosen from the fascia over decades. The new bracket system holds from inside the channel.
Downspouts
We recommend 3x4 over 2x3, with each outlet set to drain away from the wall.

Gutter replacement questions in Lincoln
What does seamless gutter replacement in Lincoln cost?
Gutter replacement cost in Lincoln depends on the length of eave, the number of stories, how many downspouts the house needs and what has to come off. We quote after we look at your house. Ask any company what the quote includes, including removal of the old run.
Can I replace gutters in Lincoln one side at a time?
Yes, if the other sides are sound. If all the runs are the same age and fastened the same way, doing the whole house in one visit usually saves a second trip.
Is a replacement worth it on a 1960s house?
Often. A 1960s house is near sixty, and a gutter that old is usually on borrowed time. If a repair would hold, we will tell you; if the run is past saving, replacement is the straight answer.
