Gutter Repair
Re-hanging sagging runs, resealing joints and correcting slope that stopped draining.
What gutter repair involves
Re-hanging sagging runs, resealing joints and correcting slope that stopped draining. The part homeowners rarely see is everything underneath: the decking, the underlayment, the flashing at every wall and penetration. That is where a roof either lasts or starts leaking in three years.
Jonathan walks the roof before quoting anything, photographs what he finds, and shows you the pictures. You get told what it needs and what it does not, in plain language, and the number you get is the number you pay.
Read that back and it sounds like the bare minimum. It is. It is also the thing most people say they did not get from the last contractor they hired, which is why we keep saying it out loud.
How the job actually goes
You call, we look
Jonathan answers the phone. He comes out, gets on the roof, and photographs what is going on up there.
You get a real number
A written price with the scope spelled out. Nothing appears on the invoice later that was not on the quote.
We schedule around the weather
Mid-South weather moves. If it moves us, you hear about it from us before you wonder.
The work gets done right
Materials the manufacturer actually specifies, installed the way the warranty requires.
We clean up and walk it with you
Magnet over the yard, debris in the trailer, and a walkthrough so you can see what you paid for.
What actually goes wrong
These are the failures we actually find on gutter repair jobs around the metro, in the order they turn up.
Gutters fail at the fascia, not the gutter
A sagging gutter is usually a rotted fascia board that can no longer hold a spike or hanger. Rehanging the gutter on bad wood buys a season. The honest repair is to replace the fascia first, which is why we quote them together.
Pitch is not optional
A gutter needs fall toward the downspout. Run dead level, it holds water, grows weight, pulls its hangers and breeds mosquitoes. You can see this from the ground after a rain: standing water in a gutter is a pitch problem.
Soffit ventilation feeds the whole roof
Vented soffit is the intake half of attic ventilation. Blocked or missing, the exhaust vents at the ridge have nothing to pull, the attic cooks, and the shingles above it age early. Gutters, fascia, soffit and roof are one system, which is why we treat them that way.
Ask whether the price is fixed. A quote that can move after work starts is not really a quote, and that is where most billing disputes begin.
Ask what they would do if it were their own house. It is a simple question and the answer is usually revealing.
Ask to see photographs of your own roof. Anybody who quotes a roof they did not walk is guessing, and you are the one who pays for the guess.
The assessment is free and it carries no obligation. Plenty of the roofs we look at turn out to need nothing yet, and being told that is a perfectly good outcome.
Ask for photographs of your own roof from anyone who quotes this work, including us. It is the difference between a factual conversation and a sales pitch.
None of this needs to be decided on the phone. The useful next step is having somebody get on the roof, photograph what is actually there, and put the findings in writing so you can think about it.
If you have had a quote already and something about it did not sit right, a second look is worth the time. Comparing two written assessments with photographs attached usually makes the answer obvious.

What customers say
Jonathan told me when his crew arrived. They were here completing the work in one day. Gave me a great price, the best I got out of 5.
I had the pleasure of using Johnathon and his team for a roofing project in midtown. Everything went perfectly as described, on-time and at a very reasonable cost. I highly recommend this team and will be using them for…

Questions we get asked
How fast can you get out to look at it?
Usually within a day or two, and sooner when water is actively coming in. Jonathan does the look himself, so you are not waiting on a salesman to pass a message along to a crew.
Do you handle gutter repair on commercial buildings too?
Yes, on small commercial. Churches, restaurants, warehouses, duplexes and small apartment buildings are regular work for us. We schedule around your hours so the business keeps running.
Will you tell me if I do not actually need this?
Yes, and we do it often. Several of our best reviews came from telling somebody their roof had years left. If a repair is the honest answer instead of a replacement, that is what Jonathan will tell you.
Are you licensed and insured?
Licensed, bonded and insured, with an A+ rating from the BBB. We can send proof before we start, and you should ask that of anybody who climbs on your roof.
What does cleanup look like when you are finished?
We pick up after ourselves. Debris goes in the trailer, the yard gets run with a magnet for nails, and the landscaping gets protected while we work.
Do you offer financing?
We do, for roofing and exterior projects. It is worth asking about if the timing of the work and the timing of the money do not quite line up.
While we are out there
Most properties need more than one thing handled, and it is cheaper to do it in one trip than three.
