Gutter installation
Gutter Installation for Homes and Businesses
New gutters for houses, additions, new builds and commercial buildings, planned around the roofline and where the water should go.
Gutter installation from Big Bend Services
Big Bend Services, Inc. installs new gutters on buildings that have none, and on roof edges that were never given a run. One crew handles the job from start to finish.
Taking an old system down first is a replacement job, and when only part of a gutter has failed, a repair may be the better question.
Scope
What an installation includes
An installation is the whole system, not a gutter at a time:
- The roofline measured on site, edge by edge
- Seamless runs formed at the property to those lengths
- Hangers fastened along each run, set to a steady fall toward the outlets
- Corners, end caps, outlets and elbows fitted
- Downspouts placed where the water can leave the building

Adding gutters where there were none
Without gutters, a roof drops its water along the full length of every eave. Gutters gather it and bring it down at a few points you choose instead. When you ask for a quote, tell us where the water lands now:
On a step or at a doorway
A short run over the entrance, with its downspout set off to one side, keeps roof water off the way in.
In front of a garage door
Roof water falling across the door lands where cars and people pass, and a run with its downspout at the corner moves it aside.
Onto a deck or patio
Water falling off the eave onto the boards or paving is carried to a downspout at the edge instead.
In a line under the eave
A trench worn into the soil or mulch below the roof edge shows where the roof has been draining.
Against the bottom of the wall
Mud or staining along the base of the siding comes from water hitting the ground and bouncing back.
Outlets and downspouts
Planning where each run drains
Where the downspouts go
We look at doorways, walkways, driveways and planting beds before placing each outlet.
How many outlets
Each run gets as many outlets as the roof feeding it needs. A long run can drain at both ends, so water does not have to travel its full length before it leaves.
Routing the pipe
Elbows carry each downspout around windows, ledges and corners, and brackets keep it tight to the wall.
Materials
Six-inch, half-round and colors
Six-inch gutter is our standard for a new system. Half-round gutter is available in aluminum or in copper for a rounded profile. Bare copper darkens as it weathers rather than keeping one color.
Gutter comes in several colors, and the one you pick is matched to your trim. Profile, metal and color are settled when we quote.
New builds and rentals
Working with builders and landlords
On a new build we work with the homeowner or the builder and schedule the gutters around the other trades. Rental properties are quoted the same way as an owner's home.
On an addition, the new runs are tied in with the gutters and downspouts already on the house, so the old and new parts drain as one system.
Your property
What changes the plan for a new system
The roof covering
Water comes off a metal roof faster than off shingles, and the gutter is set to catch it.
Trim that needs paint
Fascia painted before the gutters go up does not have to be painted around them later.
Commercial buildings
Installing on a commercial building
Sized to the roof
The gutter is sized to the roof area that feeds each run.
Booked around your hours
The work is scheduled around your opening hours so entrances and parking stay usable.
Several buildings
A site with more than one building can go on one quote.
Your quote
What sets the price of an installation
Length of gutter
How many feet of roof edge the building needs covered, counting any porch or outbuilding you add.
Height
Second-story and steep roof edges need more equipment and setup than a single story.
Corners and downspouts
A roofline with many turns and outlets takes more parts and fitting than a straight run of the same length.
The whole property
Garages, sheds and workshops on the same job
The whole property
We quote the whole property, not just the front of the house.
Outbuildings
A detached garage, a porch, a workshop or a shed can go on the same installation.
One visit
Doing it together saves arranging a second visit for the outbuildings later.
Where the job ends
Drainage stops at the downspout
Above ground
A new system ends where each downspout meets the ground, with an extension or a splash block to carry water clear of the wall.
Below ground
Buried drain pipe, French drains and regrading the yard are not part of our work, so a plan that needs them goes to a drainage contractor.
