Gutters are the least glamorous part of a Mount Vernon roof and the fastest way to ruin a foundation. Undersized or clogged gutters put roof water where you least want it.
Signs your roof needs looking at
- Granules collecting in gutters or at splash blocks
- Shingles curled, cupped, creased or missing after wind
- Dark bruised spots in the shingle surface after hail
- Ceiling stains, especially near chimneys and bath vents
- Daylight in the attic or damp insulation
- A roof past twenty years never professionally inspected
How the work goes
- Free inspection. Every slope photographed, findings shown to you.
- Written itemized price. Scope, materials and warranty on paper.
- Insurance, if it applies. We document the damage and meet your adjuster at the property.
- Permits and scheduling. We pull what your jurisdiction requires.
- The work. Decking checked, flashing replaced, ventilation corrected, valleys detailed.
- Cleanup and final walk. Magnet sweep for nails, walked with you before we leave.
Storm damage and insurance
Most roofs in this area are replaced because of a storm rather than age alone. Claims turn on documentation gathered while the damage is fresh, which is why our inspection report is written the way an adjuster reads one — slope by slope, with soft metals and measurements included. You file the claim; we make sure the evidence is there.

Frequently asked questions
- What size gutters do I need?
- Most homes here are served properly by 5-inch K-style; larger or steeper roofs and big valley areas often need 6-inch to keep up with heavy Midwest rain.
- Can gutters be part of a storm claim?
- Often yes. Hail-dented gutters and downspouts are part of the damage, and they also help corroborate the date of the event.
- Are gutter guards worth it?
- They help most where trees overhang the roof. They are not a substitute for correct sizing, pitch and downspout placement.
