Seamless gutters,sized for Omaha downpours.
Aluminum gutters formed on-site, no leaky joints, in 5-inch and 6-inch profiles matched to your roof so the system keeps up when a summer storm drops two inches in an hour.
The short answer
Five-inch or six-inch?
Six-inch hold about 40% more water for roughly 10 to 15 percent more cost. On a big or complex roof that's the difference between keeping up and overflowing down your siding in a hard rain.
| 5-inch | 6-inch | |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | Standard | ~40% more |
| Best for | Smaller, simple roofs | Large, steep, or complex roofs |
| Downspouts | 3x4 in | 3x4 in |
| Cost | Lower | 10-15% more |
What we get right
Where gutters fail, and how we prevent it
Right capacity
Sized to your roof area and pitch, with a downspout roughly every 30 to 40 feet so water never backs up at long runs and valleys.
Solid hangers
Hidden hangers screwed into the fascia at 24 inches or less, not old spike-and-ferrule that works loose and sags.
Real drainage
Water carried 4 to 6 feet off the foundation with extensions or buried lines, so you're not softening the soil against the basement.
Seamless runs
Formed on-site from coil stock, so the only joints are the corners and end caps, not every ten feet.
Ice-dam aware
If ice dams are the real problem, we point you at attic ventilation, which fixes the cause instead of the symptom.
Guards, honestly
Mesh or reverse-curve where it pays off near trees. We'll tell you what it actually does, not sell you "never clean again."
Questions
Common questions about gutters
Should I get 5-inch or 6-inch gutters?
Six-inch hold about 40% more water and shrug off the intense summer downpours without overflowing. They make sense on larger roofs, steep pitches, or complex rooflines. Five-inch are fine for smaller, simpler homes. The cost difference is small, usually 10 to 15 percent, and most new builds here run six-inch now.
How often do gutters need cleaning here?
Near mature trees, two to three times a year (after spring seed drop, after fall leaves, and sometimes mid-summer). With few trees, once a year or less. Guards stretch that out but don’t end it.
Do gutter guards actually work?
They cut debris and cleaning a lot, but nothing ends maintenance. Mesh blocks leaves while fine grit still sifts through; reverse-curve stays cleanest but costs more and can overshoot in heavy rain. Plan on a check every couple years, not 'never clean again.'
How long do aluminum gutters last?
Typically 20 to 30 years here. Seamless outlasts sectional (no leaky joints), and regular cleaning pushes you toward the high end. Rust-through, sagging, and hangers pulling off the fascia mean it’s time regardless of age.
What causes ice dams in the gutters?
Attic heat melts snow that refreezes at the cold eave, blocking the gutter and forcing water under the shingles. Fixing attic ventilation does more than any gutter tweak. North-facing and shaded eaves are worst.
Should I replace gutters with the roof?
Usually worth it. The access is already there, it keeps new shingles from getting dinged removing old gutters, and colors match. If they’re 15+ years old or showing wear, do them together.
