Springfield, Illinois · Locally owned and operated

Gutters, guards and drainage that keep Springfield water where it belongs.

Seamless runs rolled on site, leaf protection that ends the autumn ladder, and buried tile that carries the water away from the house instead of dropping it at the wall. Over two decades of Springfield rooflines.

One fall line

Water leaves a roof on one line. We build the whole line.

Most gutter problems are not really gutter problems. A run pitched too flat, an outlet in the wrong corner, a downspout that ends two feet from the footing: each one shows up as the same wet basement wall. We look at the pitch, the outlet count, the downspout size and where the water finally lands as one system, because fixing any of them alone just moves the puddle.

Seamless gutter installationWhere the water goes
At the eave
Seamless K-style run formed to the length of the roofline, pitched to the outlet, hung on fascia sound enough to hold the fasteners.
Through the season
Leaf protection over the trough so the run keeps carrying water through a Springfield autumn without anyone on a ladder in November.
At the ground
Drainage tile buried from the downspout out to a proper outlet, so roof water finishes its trip instead of soaking the soil against the foundation.

What we handle

Roof edge, roof water, and the wall underneath it.

Six things, all of them the same job seen from a different rung of the ladder. Every one of them is work we do ourselves on houses in and around Springfield.

Before you call

The questions Springfield homeowners actually ask.

Straight answers, including the ones that talk us out of work. If your gutters only overflow at one corner, you may not need a whole new run.

Ask us about your house

An open gutter can still overflow for three reasons: the run is pitched too flat to move water to the outlet, the gutter is undersized for the roof area feeding it, or the downspout is choked lower down where you cannot see it. On a heavy Springfield downpour, a 5 inch K-style run on a large, steep roof plane simply meets more water per minute than it can carry. We look at pitch, outlet count and downspout size together, because changing one without the others just moves the overflow along the run.

No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling. A good leaf protection system keeps leaves, seed pods and maple keys out of the trough so the gutter keeps carrying water through autumn without a ladder. Fine grit off an asphalt roof, shingle granules and pollen still settle, and the guard surface itself needs a look every so often. The honest promise is far fewer cleanings and no autumn emergency, not zero maintenance.

Gutters get water off the roof. Drainage tile is what takes it away from the house once it lands. A downspout that dumps at the foundation is just relocating the problem two feet: the soil there stays saturated, and Springfield sits on heavy soils that hold water instead of draining it. Buried tile carries the downspout discharge out to daylight or to a suitable outlet away from the wall, so the roof water finishes its journey instead of pooling at the footing.

The fascia is the board the gutter hangs on, and it is the first thing to rot when a gutter has been overflowing or back-pitched for a season or two. Look for paint peeling in long strips, a soft or dark board behind the gutter, or a gutter that sags away from the roof edge because the fasteners no longer have solid wood to bite. If the fascia is gone, rehanging a gutter on it is wasted money, so we replace the board first and hang the new run on something that will hold.

Yes. We are based on Ogden Road in Springfield and work roughly fifty miles out from there, which takes in Chatham, Rochester, Sherman, Riverton, Auburn, New Berlin, Williamsville, Pawnee, Petersburg and the rest of Sangamon County and its neighbours. Call (217) 698-4357 and tell us where the house is.

Seamless gutter is rolled on site from coil stock, so the run is formed to the length of your roofline rather than joined from lengths out of a box. That is the part that matters for leaks, because every joint is a future leak, and it also means the profile and colour are chosen for the house rather than for whatever is on the shelf. Tell us what the trim and roof look like and we will bring options that sit with them.

Overflowing at one corner, streaking down the siding, pooling against the foundation after every storm. Describe it on the phone and we will tell you whether it is a cleaning, a re-pitch, a new run or a drainage problem before anyone comes out.
