Gutter Installation in Independence, MO

Independence has some of the oldest continuously occupied housing in the metro, from the historic Truman neighborhood to the pre-war streets around the Square and the post-war build-out through Fairmount and Englewood. On homes of that age the gutter is rarely the only problem.

We routinely find sectional gutter leaking at half its seams, spike-and-ferrule fasteners that have backed out of soft wood, fascia that has been overflowed for a decade and will no longer hold a screw, and downspouts discharging two feet from a foundation on clay soil. That combination is exactly how a dry basement becomes a wet one.

Our approach in Independence is to check the wood first, correct the drip edge and gutter apron so water stops running behind the gutter, then install seamless runs on hidden hangers into sound fascia and move the discharge points well away from the house.

Seamless aluminum installed in Independence runs 15 dollars to 20 dollars per linear foot, depending on gutter size, downspout count, roof height and roofline complexity. Many Independence homes are single-story or one-and-a-half-story with 120 to 180 linear feet, commonly landing between 1,800 dollars and 3,600 dollars for full replacement. Fascia repair, which is common on older homes here, runs roughly 18 dollars to 24 dollars per linear foot and is quoted separately.
