Channel and downspout size
We recommend 6 inch gutters with 3x4 downspouts over 5 inch and 2x3, and we name the sizes on the estimate.
That is the measured drive from 1520 Clay St in North Kansas City, so the crew and the forming machine do not have far to travel. The machine shapes aluminum at your house to the exact length of each roof edge, instead of cutting down a stock length. Shawnee is also home to a mix of ages, with about 70 percent of homes single-family detached, so the roof shapes we see vary a lot from one street to the next.

A straight run is a single piece of aluminum, so the weak points of a seamed gutter are not there to begin with. Corners and downspout outlets still need joints, and we make those carefully.
On a two-story edge we recommend a 6 inch channel and a 3x4 downspout in place of 5 inch and 2x3. The metal is .032 gauge, and the brackets are internally hidden, so the gutter face stays clean.
The neighborhood near K-7 and 67th Street was built out over time, so its houses vary in age.
Near K-7 and Shawnee Mission Parkway, its homes are recent enough that a gutter plan is about new construction and additions.
Whether a house is new, newly added to or still without gutters, installation starts with a measure of every edge.
New gutters in Shawnee start from three places, and each one gets its own plan.
Once the roof is on, we measure each edge and form a full system to fit.
A new room means new roof edge. We set its run so water reaches a downspout instead of the walls.
We match the new run to the existing edge and give it the same pitch logic as the rest.
Ask for these in writing from anyone you compare.

Seamless .032 gauge aluminum, hung on brackets hidden inside the gutter.
Where each downspout will let water out, so none of it lands against a foundation wall or a patio.
If you want guards, they are listed separately and measured to the roofline.
A few facts make the estimate accurate.

This company has great customer service. The work that was provided was excellent. I appreciate them thoroughly cleaning up at the end of the job.
Nathan was a delight to work with and I love my new gutters!! Nate is very knowledgeable and hands on. I highly recommend if you are in the market for new gutters to give him a call…you will be happy you did!!
110% satisfaction. Easy scheduling. One guy; prompt and obviously knowledgable about all things gutter. Everything's more complcated than you think: Gutters overflowing? Have pulled away from facia. Loose downspouts? Prior installers used metal drywall screws to attach. And no attempt to sell me Gutter Guard!
Yes. Call once the roof is on or close to it, and we will measure each edge and form the full system. If the plans are still changing, tell us which edges might move so we quote what will actually be built.
We measure every roof edge, form the aluminum on site to those lengths, hang the runs on hidden brackets and add 3x4 downspouts. Then we check the pitch so water travels to each outlet.
