Gutter Replacement for Bloomingdale Homes

Bloomingdale has a small historic Old Town, but most of its homes went up from the 1970s through the 1990s as two-story and split-level subdivisions, with townhome communities near Stratford Square.

In townhome associations, gutter color, style and downspout locations are often set by the HOA, and gutter runs are shared between units. Many 1960s and 1970s homes still have older sectional gutters, with seams every few feet and hangers that are worn out after decades of ice. Two-story homes collect a lot of water per run. They often need 6-inch gutters and larger downspouts to handle a summer downpour without overflowing.

Signs You Need Gutter Replacement in Bloomingdale

These are the warning signs we get called about most often in Bloomingdale:

• Fascia rot behind the gutter
• Ice repeatedly tearing sections down in winter
• Gutters sagging or pulling away from the fascia
• Leaking seams and corners
• Standing water in the gutter after rain

How Our Gutter Replacement Process Works

1. Assess gutters and fascia We check the gutters, the hangers and the wood behind them so the new system has a solid base.
2. Remove old gutters Old gutters and downspouts come off, and damaged fascia is repaired or replaced.
3. Install new seamless runs Gutters are installed with correct pitch, sized for the roof, and hangers spaced for snow loads.
4. Repairs where repair makes sense If only a section has failed and the rest is sound, we'll say so and repair that section instead.

It’s the same process we use on every job. Read more about gutter replacement across Chicago and the suburbs.

What Quality Gutter Replacement Involves

Downspouts and drainage

More and larger downspouts move water faster. Extensions and splash blocks carry it away from the foundation so the gutters actually protect the house.

Sectional vs. seamless

Older sectional gutters have a seam every 10 feet, and every seam is a future leak. Seamless gutters are formed on site to the length of each run, so the only joints are at corners and downspouts.

What to Expect on Job Day in Bloomingdale

Gutter work usually takes a day or less for a typical home. We protect the landscaping under the work area, haul away the old gutters, and show you each downspout’s drainage path before we leave. If your Bloomingdale home is in an HOA, we can help with any approval paperwork the association needs.

Permits for Gutter Replacement in Bloomingdale

Whether gutter work alone needs a permit varies from village to village, so we check with Bloomingdale before every job. When the gutters are part of a roof replacement, they’re covered by the roofing permit process. Building permits in Bloomingdale are issued by the Village of Bloomingdale (Village Hall, 201 S. Bloomingdale Road, Bloomingdale, IL 60108). Requirements depend on the scope of the job, so we confirm them with the village before work starts and file the permit whenever one is needed.

Under the Illinois Roofing Industry Licensing Act, a municipality that requires a roofing permit may only issue it to a contractor who shows proof of a State of Illinois roofing license. We handle the paperwork, schedule the inspections, and leave the permit card posted where the village wants it.

Weather and Your Bloomingdale Gutters

Spring storms, fall leaves and winter ice all test gutters in the northwest suburbs. Correct sizing, pitch and fastening are what keep them working through all four seasons.

What Affects the Cost of Gutter Replacement in Bloomingdale

Every Bloomingdale home is different, so we price gutter replacement after we’ve seen the roof. The biggest factors are:

• adding guards or larger downspouts
• access height
• length of the runs and the number of corners and downspouts
• fascia and soffit damage behind the old gutters

Your written estimate lists each item separately, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
