Gutter replacement is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your fascia, siding and foundation. A sagging or overflowing gutter quietly sends water exactly where you don’t want it.

Gutter Replacement for Rolling Meadows Homes

Rolling Meadows grew out of the 1950s, when builder Kimball Hill put up whole neighborhoods of modest ranch homes on former farmland. Many of those houses have been expanded over the years with additions and second stories, so one roof can combine several pitches and ages of decking.

Ranch homes have long, continuous eaves, so gutter pitch over a long run and enough downspouts matter more than on a compact house.

Signs You Need Gutter Replacement in Rolling Meadows

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

• 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 how our gutter replacement service works.

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 Rolling Meadows

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 Rolling Meadows home is in an HOA, we can help with any approval paperwork the association needs.

Permits for Gutter Replacement in Rolling Meadows

Whether gutter work alone needs a permit varies from village to village, so we check with Rolling Meadows before every job. When the gutters are part of a roof replacement, they’re covered by the roofing permit process. Building permits in Rolling Meadows are issued by the City of Rolling Meadows (City Hall, 3600 Kirchoff Road, Rolling Meadows, IL 60008). Requirements depend on the scope of the job, so we confirm them with the city 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 city wants it.

Weather and Your Rolling Meadows Gutters

Freeze-thaw cycles are hard on gutters. Water that sits in a sagging section freezes, expands and pulls the hangers loose, and ice at the gutter line backs meltwater up under the roof edge.

What Affects the Cost of Gutter Replacement in Rolling Meadows

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

• length of the runs and the number of corners and downspouts
• fascia and soffit damage behind the old gutters
• gutter size and material
• adding guards or larger downspouts

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