Gutter work on a Chicago roofline.
Built around Chicago housing
A Chicago gutter crew that knows the housing stock
Chicago housing has a median year built of 1953, according to American Community Survey data, and much of it predates modern gutter materials. The city holds about 80,000 bungalows built roughly between 1910 and 1940, alongside two-flats and three-flats that make up about a quarter of the housing stock. That mix means two drainage systems: pitched eave gutters on bungalows and cottages, and parapet, scupper, and internal-leader drainage on flat-roofed buildings. Our Chicago service area pages describe each community area separately, from Portage Park bungalows to Kenwood greystones.

How we work
What shapes our gutter work in Chicago
Gutter work is straightforward to describe and easy to get wrong in practice. The points below come from the housing and weather Chicago actually has. Read about the business for what the work covers and where the office is.
Housing-first thinking
Homes of this era typically pair a pitched roof with eave gutters on bungalows and cottages, while greystones and two-flats typically drain through parapets and scuppers. The drainage system is described per building, not assumed from the street.
Repair compared with replacement, discussed plainly
A run with life left in it is discussed as a repair. A run whose fascia no longer holds hangers is discussed as a replacement. The condition of the roofline, as seen on site, is what frames the discussion.
Weather the city actually gets
1991–2020 normals put annual precipitation at 37.86 inches at O'Hare and 40.88 inches at Midway, with May the wettest month at both stations. Snow comes mainly from passing weather systems, and gutters carry water in every season.
From call to complete
How a gutter job runs
Call (872) 867-8606 during business hours and describe what is happening: overflow, sag, leaks, or clogged downspouts. Your address and the type of building help frame the discussion. The contact page lists the hours and the office address.
The roofline is measured, downspouts are counted, and the fascia behind the old hangers is looked at. The scope of the work is discussed before anything is scheduled.
Installation, repair, or cleaning proceeds as discussed. Joints, hangers, and downspout routing are handled as part of the same job, and the fascia and soffit are considered where they affect the run.
Water is run through the system to check flow and drainage, and material from the old run is removed. Anything noticed during the check is mentioned before the visit ends.

Signs worth a call
Gutter problems we address before they spread
Most roofline water trouble starts small: a drip at a seam, a run that holds water, a downspout that backs up. These are the calls that come in most often, and the pages on gutter repair, gutter cleaning, and downspout repair describe each one in more detail.
Ask a pro →Gutter leaks at seams soaking the fascia
Joints are re-crimped, old sealant is cleared out, and fresh sealant is applied. Where a seam has leaked for a while, the fascia board behind it is checked before the run is closed up. See fascia and soffit repair for the boards behind the gutter.
Sagging gutters holding standing water
A sagging run usually traces to hangers that have worked loose from soft fascia or been set too far apart. Hangers are reset into solid wood and the run is re-pitched so water drains toward the downspout instead of pooling.
Clogged downspouts backing up in a storm
The downspout is cleared and the run above it is checked, since a clogged downspout usually means debris in the trough as well. Both are cleared and flow is checked.
Ice dams forming at the roof edge
Ice dams form when meltwater cannot drain and refreezes at the edge. Pitch is corrected and the run is cleared, and heat cables are one tool for problem rooflines. Insulation, air-sealing, and ventilation are root-cause fixes that typically sit outside gutter work.

What Chicago customers say
★★★★★
“Luis and his associate repaired my gutters quickly and cleaned them a bit for a fair price. I didn't hear any leaking during the last rain and I'm very pleased with the quality of work and efficiency. I would definitely recommend their service and will likely hire them again when time to clean the gutters. Se habla español.”

Good questions
Gutter installation in Chicago: questions
Questions heard on the phone, answered directly. Call (872) 867-8606 during business hours for anything else.
(872) 867-8606 →Cost depends on the length of the run, the number of stories, the downspout count, and the condition of the fascia behind the old gutter. No figure is published on this website, because every roofline differs. Call (872) 867-8606 during business hours to talk through your roofline and what the work would involve.
Gutters move roof surface water away from the building. They do not prevent sewer backups. Chicago has combined sewers that are generally capable of handling at most a 5-year storm, according to the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, and the July 2023 flooding was substantially sewer surcharge. Downspout work helps with surface water at the roofline, not with water coming up through sewers.
A twice-yearly cadence is widely advised: once in the fall leaf season, which peaks from September through November, and once in spring after the wettest month, May. Homes under mature tree cover need attention more often. See gutter cleaning for what a cleaning covers.
Flat-roofed greystones and two-flats typically drain through parapets, scuppers, and internal leaders rather than eave gutters. The page for Avondale describes a flat-roof-first area, and gutter repair covers both drainage systems.
