Gutter Replacement for South Puget Sound Homes

Most gutter jobs cost somewhere between $1500 and $5000, but we have seen large jobs be as much as 25k. The number of stories on the home, the ability to access the area with a ladder and the type of material drive the cost of the installation. Our exteriors consultants can provide a free inspection and estimate to help you find a solution for your home and budget.

Seamless gutters, which can only be fabricated onsite with professional equipment, are effective in preventing gutters from getting jammed and have less opportunity for rust or the need for resealing over time. Patriot uses heavy duty hangers on each rafter which helps to support the weight of gutters when they are full of leaves, debris and snow to prevent sagging. Size also matters when it comes to gutters, the bigger the better when it comes to proper flow. You may find other gutter systems with a 3” or 4” gutter, but Patriot installs only 5” or 6” gutters to maximize effectiveness. We offer two styles: K-style and fascia style gutter systems.

This depends on the type of product installed and the quality of installation. Gutters should be replaced when water flows in the wrong direction or when there is leaking or falling or sagging. Broken or worn gutters can cause water damage to your home and should be addressed immediately.

We always recommend hiring a professional. Seamless gutters can only be fabricated using specialized professional equipment and are of far better quality than the box store sets homeowners may have access to. With a professional installation you have the peace of mind that comes from a warranty; provided you’ve done your research to make sure you’ve hired a quality contractor who installs a quality product. With Patriot you know you’ve got a professional install, great warranty, and help if problems arise.

If you see leaking, water flowing in the wrong direction, sagging or rust it’s definitely time to replace your gutters.

Typically, we are looking at 1-2 days to complete a gutter project. Factors such as the number of floors on your home, ability to access the work area and project size can increase the amount of time needed for the job.

Patriot provides a 10 year leak free warranty on our gutter installations which covers materials and workmanship.

Always do your due diligence when choosing a contractor. Make sure they are licensed, bonded and insured to limit your liability as a homeowner. Protectmyhome.net can assist you in the contractor lookup process. Make sure to talk to other friends and family in addition to reading reviews online. Pay special attention to reviews that mention when a problem did arise and how the contractor handled the situation. Lastly, look at how long they have been in business under the same name, knowing sometimes contractors will open new businesses under a different name when they’ve run into L&I safety issues, customer complaints or financial trouble.

For the most part, in the Puget Sound, insurance is only involved in gutter replacement in the incident of a tree strike. Policies typically will not cover heavy snow pack or heavy rain pulling gutters down. It always depends on your policy and coverage, and doesn’t hurt to ask.

Seamless gutters are created in longer format without seams between shorter pieces, like what can be found in big box home improvement stores. They are custom made and fabricated on site. Less seams means less opportunity for leaks and less rust formation. They are also lower maintenance, easier to clean, and they have less need to be resealed over time. Less seams also means less opportunity for debris to get caught and cause jams. We highly recommend seamless gutters for every home.
