A gutter crew, not a roofer with a gutter sideline
Plenty of companies will add gutters to a roofing or painting job. That is a fine arrangement until something drips. Gutters are all we do, along with the fascia and soffit they hang from, so we have no reason to hurry through them on the way to a bigger ticket. When you call, the conversation is about water: where it comes off your roof, where it lands now and where it should go instead.
It also means we will say so when you do not need us. If a single corner is leaking, you will hear that a tube of sealant and a new end cap will fix it, not that the whole house needs new gutters.
Why every run is formed on site
A seamless gutter starts as a flat coil of pre-painted aluminum. Our machine bends it into the K-style profile and cuts it at the exact length of each stretch of roofline, measured that morning. A 46-foot back wall gets one 46-foot gutter. There is nothing to splice in the middle, so there is nothing in the middle to leak.
Forming on site also means we are not stuck with whatever lengths happened to be on a supplier's shelf. If a measurement is off by a few inches, we run another piece rather than stretching a short one with a patch.
What Pinellas weather asks of a gutter
St. Pete gets most of its rain between June and September, often in short, heavy afternoon storms. A gutter here is less about the yearly total and more about the worst twenty minutes of July, when a long roof plane sends water down faster than an undersized trough can carry it. That is why we size gutters and downspouts by roof area and pitch, and why we often recommend 6-inch gutters and 3×4 downspouts on tile and metal roofs, which shed water quickly.
The rest of the year brings its own problems. Laurel and live oaks drop leaves in late winter and spring, pines shed needles, and palms let go of fronds and seed stalks. Salt air near the bay and the Gulf eats steel fasteners. We hang gutters on hidden hangers with screws rather than spikes, and we use fasteners that stand up to the coast.
A typical install day, start to finish
- We arrive at the time we agreed on the phone, walk the house with you and confirm colors and downspout spots.
- Old gutters come down first. Any soft fascia found underneath is shown to you before anything is replaced.
- The machine runs in the driveway. Each length is formed, carried up and hung on hidden hangers spaced along the fascia.
- Corners are mitered and sealed, outlets are cut, downspouts are fastened to the wall and pointed where the water should go.
- We run a hose through the system to check flow, then pick up every offcut, screw and strip of old aluminum before we leave.
Materials we use, and what we leave out
Our standard is Spectra pre-finished aluminum in .027 gauge, offered in more than 20 colors. Aluminum does not rust, which matters a few blocks from salt water, and the baked finish holds its color for years.
We do not install vinyl gutters. They are cheap at the hardware store, but Florida sun turns them brittle and the sections still join with seams. We also do not sell spike-and-ferrule hanging, the old method of nailing a long spike through the gutter into the fascia; spikes work loose in a few seasons and the gutter starts to sag.
Streets we know well
Much of our work is in the older parts of St. Petersburg: the 1920s bungalows of Old Northeast and Historic Kenwood, where fascia boards are often original and need attention before anything new can hang from them, and the post-war ranch houses of Shore Acres, Disston Heights and Meadowlawn with their long, low eaves. We also work on the waterfront homes of Snell Isle and the beaches, and north into Seminole, Clearwater and Palm Harbor.
Lines we don't cross
- Show up at your address without calling first to set a time.
- Quote a price over the phone for a house we have not measured.
- Add a line to the bill on install day that was not on the written quote, unless you have seen the reason and agreed to it.
- Hang a new gutter on rotten fascia and hope for the best.
- Leave the old gutters, scraps or screws in your yard.
Licensed, insured and backed in writing
Florida licenses us as a certified residential contractor, number CRC1334858, and anyone can look that number up on the state's DBPR site in under a minute. We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation, so an accident on your roof is our insurer's problem, never yours.
The warranties are written down, not promised over a handshake: five years on our workmanship, counted from install day; twenty years from Spectra on the aluminum coil itself; and ten years on any old joints we reseal rather than replace.
The owner served in the military, and the business has grown almost entirely by word of mouth. That growth has gone into more equipment and more hands on the crew, not a call center.
Who you'll be dealing with
The person who answers the phone is the person who books your measure, and the crew that measures is the crew that installs. If something on the quote is unclear, call (727) 594-4607 and ask; there is no sales department to get through. Prices for every job we do are laid out on the seamless gutter cost page.
