New Longview
Developed in 2004 on part of the historic Longview Farm estate. The roof edges are young, so the job is sizing the system correctly the first time.
Seamless gutters in Lee's Summit, MO start with a tape measure
Our shop on Clay Street in North Kansas City is about 22.7 miles and about 36 minutes from Lee's Summit, and the roll forming machine rides along to the house. Seamless gutters are made in your driveway at the exact length of each roof edge, instead of being assembled from short sections joined with seams.
That matters on a long run across a garage or down a tall gable. Fewer joints means fewer places to leak, and the aluminum is .032 gauge, hung on internally hidden brackets so the fascia line stays clean.
The housing here
Lee's Summit grew from 16,230 residents in 1970 to 101,108 in 2020, and the roof edges came with them.
The median home was built in 1994 and about 58 percent of the housing dates from 1990 or later, so most new gutter work is a new build, an addition or a roof edge that never got a proper system. People comparing gutter installers in Lee's Summit tend to ask about size first. We recommend 6 inch gutters with 3x4 downspouts over the smaller 5 inch and 2x3 sizes, and that matters most on taller roofs that shed a lot of water.
Where new gutters go up on the Lee's Summit map
The city grew in layers, and each layer asks for something a little different.
Winterset
Developers broke ground here in 1990, which puts its houses in the post-1990 group that makes up most of the city. Any porch or addition added since gets a run measured to that new edge.
Lakewood and Raintree Lake
Lake communities from the 1970s, Lakewood built around reservoirs created in 1976. Where an older roofline gets an addition, a new run has to tie into the existing one cleanly.
Woodland Shores
An east-side subdivision in ZIP 64086. Requests for residential gutter installation come in by ZIP, and we treat 64063, 64064, 64081, 64082 and 64086 as one service area.
What goes on the spec sheet before the first run is hung
A good rain gutter installation in Lee's Summit is decided before the ladder goes up.
- Gutter width: 6 inch, which carries more water off a large roof plane than 5 inch.
- Downspout size: 3x4, with enough of them for the roof planes, not just the corners.
- Discharge point: a splash block that drains at least three feet from the foundation, which is what Lee's Summit Water Utilities asks homeowners to do.
- Sump pump exit: the city wants it to daylight at least three feet from the foundation, so we note where it comes out before placing a downspout.
- Anything beyond a splash block: tile, a wet basin or a downspout garden can need a permit from Codes Administration, so that stays your call and the city's.
How a Lee's Summit installation runs
- Measure
Every roof edge
We measure each run, count the corners and mark where downspouts can drain.
- Form
In the driveway
The roll forming machine turns coil into one continuous piece per run, cut to length.
- Hang
Hidden brackets
Gutters go up pitched toward the downspouts, fastened with internally hidden hangers.
- Check
Water test
We run water through to see every downspout move it, then walk the house with you.

What homeowners say
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!
Gutter installation questions in Lee's Summit
Do you install new gutters in Lee's Summit ZIP 64063 and the other four codes?
Yes, in all five ZIP codes: 64063, 64064, 64081, 64082 and 64086. The work runs from older lake communities to subdivisions that went in after 2000, and one gutter installer in Lee's Summit covers all of it, from a 1976 lake lot to a 2004 street.
Why 6 inch gutters and 3x4 downspouts?
A wider channel and a larger downspout move more water off a big roof before it can spill over the edge. We recommend 6 inch over 5 inch and 3x4 over 2x3 for that reason, especially on two-story roofs.
Can a new downspout tie into the sewer?
The city names downspouts and sump pumps as common sources of inflow into the sanitary sewer, which is why the target is a splash block or approved drainage, not a pipe into a sewer line. Ask Codes Administration about permits if you want tile or a wet basin.
What does seamless gutter installation in Lee's Summit change compared with the sectional gutter I have now?
A sectional gutter is built from short pieces joined with seams, and those seams are where leaks start. A seamless run is formed to the full length of the roof edge on site. If you are replacing a sectional system, see gutter replacement in Lee's Summit.
