Sectional (seamed) gutters
A seam every few feet, and each one is a place for a slow leak down the fascia.
Fifty-year-old gutters on 1970s houses
The population of Edwardsville grew 443.5 percent from 1970 to 1980, and 18 percent of its homes were built in that decade. Run the arithmetic and a gutter hung when the house went up is now about half a century old. That is old for any gutter, and these ones have taken the freeze and thaw of Kansas City winters, which average 18.2 inches of snow a year.
A replacement starts by asking whether a run can still be saved. Resealing a joint, resetting a hanger or swapping a damaged section is sometimes enough. When it is not, we say so, and the old run comes off.
What comes off the house
Each old material wears out its own way.
Galvanized steel
Rust starts at the seams and the bottom of the trough, then spreads.
Plastic gutters
Brittle after years of sun, cracked at corners, bowed between hangers.
Nailed-on gutters
Spikes loosen in old fascia and the run sags away from the wall.
Gutter Replacement in Edwardsville
Gutter replacement in Edwardsville serves a community where older sectional gutters on established homes have reached the end of their useful life and newer builds need an upgrade to match the demands of the Kansas River bottomland storm environment. The Gutter Guys provides seamless gutter installation throughout Edwardsville, cutting every run on-site for a precise and lasting fit. We complete every gutter replacement in Edwardsville with the attention and care this community deserves.
Why seamless
The new gutter is formed in one piece for each roof edge, so most of the old joints simply do not exist.
Our crew rolls .032 gauge aluminum on site and hangs it on hidden brackets, with 6 inch gutters and 3x4 downspouts as the standard we recommend. Seamless gutter replacement in Edwardsville is mostly about what you stop having: fewer seams, fewer nails, fewer places to chase a leak. If you want to replace gutters in Edwardsville for the long haul, that is the point.
How replacement day goes
- At the estimate
Read the old system
We note what is on the house, where it leaks and whether the trouble is the gutter or the pitch.

Take down the old run
Gutter and downspouts come off so the fascia is visible before anything new goes on.

Form the new run
The machine cuts each length to its roof edge.

Gutter replacement questions in Edwardsville
Is gutter replacement cost in Edwardsville hard to pin down?
It depends on total roof edge, the number of stories, how many downspouts the house needs and what is on there now. We measure and quote after we have seen the roof edges.
Can you replace just one side of the house?
Sometimes. If the other sides are sound, a partial job can work. We look at the whole system first and tell you honestly whether one side or all of it makes sense.
Do you remove the old downspouts too?
They come off with the gutter. New downspouts go on as part of the seamless system, and we recommend 3x4 over 2x3.
