Protect Your Home with Dependable Gutter Installation Services
Your home’s gutters and the quality of your gutter installation are important factors when it comes to protection. That’s because your gutter and downspout system should lead rainfall away from your house’s roof and foundation. Big weather events and seasonal changes will prove your gutter system’s capabilities. If you notice downspouts without water flow, overflowing gutters, water pooling around your home or coming into your basement, or another suspicious situation, call Independent Construction and ask for a gutter installation inspection.

How Will You Know it’s Time for New Gutter Installation Services?
Gutters are much like a roof—you might not know there’s a problem until it turns into something you can’t ignore.
Physical Damage to Gutters
Damage to your gutters and downspouts can happen due to a single incident (like wind, snow, hail, or falling tree limbs), or it can result from wear and tear through the years.
You might notice rust, peeling paint, holes, cracks, or splits. Gutters might sag or pull away from the house, show rust or corrosion, or have significant dents. Areas that show those signs will need to be replaced to avoid wood rot, mold, and mildew—which will eventually lead to structural damage to your home.
Water Drainage Issues
If you notice pooling water around your home’s foundation, water stains on the siding, overflowing gutters during rainfall, or eroded soil around your home’s perimeter, your gutters aren’t working as they should, and it’s time to give our team a call.
Choose from a Variety of Gutter Types
At Independent Construction, we don’t limit you in your gutter choices. Instead, you can select from these categories:

You Could Have Anyone Install Gutters—But Should You?
Gutter installation might seem simple, but many things can go wrong if they’re not installed with expertise and precision. Before you choose the company that will install your new gutters, consider what could go wrong if they don’t have the experience the job requires:
- If the slope or pitch of the gutters isn’t correct, you could end up with standing water in your gutters (which can lead to rust, leaks, or mold) or overflowing water (which can damage your roof, siding, or foundation).
- Poor attachment, where proper hardware isn’t used, or if gutters aren’t securely fastened to the fascia), your gutters could sag or detach from the house, and water could spill over the edges of the gutter, resulting in pooling water around the foundation.
- Incorrect downspout placement can lead to inefficient water drainage, soil erosion, foundation damage, and basement flooding.
- Failure to properly seal joints or install seamless gutters correctly can result in water leakage that damages walls, fascia, and soffits—as well as stains and mold growth on exterior walls.
- If gutters and downspouts are too small for the roof area, rainfall overflow can occur—which also increases the chances of clogs and blockages.
- If the materials used are not compatible, are low-quality, or aren’t suitable for your climate, you could find yourself dealing with premature rusting, warping, or cracking.
- When gutters are misaligned, and the sealing around fascia boards is poor, water can seep into walls and lead to mold, mildew, and wood rot—all of which can compromise the structural integrity of your home over time.
- When local regulations and codes regarding water drainage systems aren’t followed, there’s a risk of fines, legal issues (due to flooding neighboring properties), and the cost of re-installation.
- When gutters are improperly installed, the need for regular maintenance is compounded (meaning the cheap comes out expensive).
- Inexperienced gutter installers may not follow safety protocols, which increases the chances of injuries and damage to your roof, siding, and landscaping during installation.
If you don’t want even one of these things to happen due to subpar gutter installation, you should choose your gutter and downspout contractor wisely. You can start with a call to Independent Construction.
