A garage or porch addition
New roof edge, new run. We tie it into the existing drainage when that works.
A gutter installer for a city that grew in a single generation
Independence's population grew nearly sevenfold from 1940 to 1970. About 35 percent of today's homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s, and the median home dates to 1967. A gutter installer in Independence MO is working on a generation of houses that may have had a garage, porch or room added since.
In Rock Creek, in the northwest part of the city, ranch homes with one car garages are common. Widen a garage, and you have a new roof edge with nothing to catch the water. We measure the new edge, form a run to the exact length, and connect it into a downspout that drains.
Why seamless
The leak points on a gutter are its joints, so we make fewer of them.
A roll forming machine at your house turns coil into a single run, cut to the length of the wall. Seamless gutters in Independence have a joint only at the corners and end caps, and none in between. That is what seamless gutter installation in Independence buys you. We form .032 gauge aluminum and hide the brackets inside the channel, so the front face reads as one clean line.
Where new gutters in Independence make sense
Four starting points.
A new roof on an old house
A reroofed house is a good time to check that the gutters under the new shingles are still doing their job.
An edge that never had gutters
One run and a downspout keeps water off steps and beds.
A full system
When the gutters are failing, gutter replacement in Independence takes out the old run and forms the new one.

What homeowners say
They cleaned my gutters and installed leaf guards, I waited for a good rain and checked the flow and everything looks great. Highly recommended.
Experience was exceptional. Nathan explained the whole process, from the initial estimate through the installation. He didn’t try to sell a bunch of extras or talk over my head. He used concise layman’s terminology. The installation (even with rain delays). Went well. Truly an excellent experience that didn’t cost the church its foundation. Thank you for your work
The Gutter Guys did a great job installing my new gutters. Nathan is a great guy, personable and professional. The price was very competitive, and the job was done on schedule. The Guys are detail oriented, excellent fit and finish. My house looks great! Highly recommended!
Gutter installation questions in Independence
Do I need to call a gutter installer or a roofer for a new roof edge?
Roofing is a separate company, The Roofing Guys. We handle the gutters. If a new roof is going on, we can measure and form the gutters for the finished edge.
Can you match the length of a custom or odd-shaped edge?
Yes. Because we form the aluminum on site, each run is cut to the length of the edge we measure, with corners where the roofline turns. That is the advantage over pre-cut sectional lengths.
What size gutter do you recommend for an Independence ranch?
6 inch gutters with 3x4 downspouts, over 5 inch with 2x3. Independence averages 44.66 inches of precipitation a year, so a roof sheds a lot of water to each downspout.
