Gutter Repair in Logan, Utah and Cache Valley

A gutter catches the water that runs off the roof and carries it to a downspout, where it can leave the house. Anything that stops it doing that shows up the same way: water pouring over the edge, a drip at a seam, a dark stain on the siding below, or a puddle by the foundation.

Winter is hard on gutters here. Snow slides off a roof in a sheet and takes the gutter with it, and ice builds up in the trough, adds weight and pulls on the hangers. By the next spring, a gutter that looked fine in October can sag in the middle or lean away from the house.

We start by finding where the water actually goes wrong. A run of gutter is checked for slope, a seam is checked for the gap that is leaking, and the hangers are checked to see which ones have loosened or rusted out. Water from a hose shows quickly where a seam drips or a low spot holds water.

From there the repair matches the problem. Sagging runs are lifted back to a slope toward the downspout and held with new hangers set into solid wood. Leaking seams are cleaned and resealed. Loose downspouts are re-attached with new straps, and damaged sections are replaced. A short or missing extension is added at the bottom so the water lands away from the foundation.

Gutters come in different metals and shapes, and sections have to fit what is already on your house. Tell us what you have when you call, or text a photo of the gutter and the downspout.

The best time to look at gutters is after the last hard freeze and again in fall. At the Utah State University weather station in Logan, half of all years have their last spring freeze by about May 7 and their first fall freeze by about October 13. Sealant works best when it can cure above freezing, so seam repairs belong in the warm months.

Wet weather is when problems show. May is the wettest month at that station, with about two and a half inches of rain, and July is the driest, with about three quarters of an inch. A spring storm tells you quickly which seam leaks and which corner overflows. If you spot trouble in winter, text us a photo. We can usually tell whether it can wait for spring.

The price depends on how many feet of gutter are involved, how high the roof edge is, whether the fascia behind it needs repair, how many seams and downspouts are affected, and how easy the house is to reach. Every job gets a free quote with the full price before work starts. We work on homes and businesses across Cache Valley and Southeast Idaho; see the towns we serve.

Gutter repair is quoted on its own. Members of the Home Maintenance Membership get 10% off labor on work that is quoted separately. Washing a stained wall below a gutter that has been fixed is a job for pressure washing.
