A gutter crew for a town that gets a lot of rain.
Gainesville roofs deal with two things most gutters weren’t sized for: summer storms that dump inches of rain in an afternoon, and oak and pine canopy that fills a trough in a few weeks.
We start by walking the house with you and watching where the water actually goes. Then we measure each roof section, check the fascia for soft spots, and look at where every downspout empties. Sometimes the fix is a full seamless gutter installation. Sometimes it’s a resealed corner and a longer extension. Either way, the price is written down before anyone climbs a ladder.
Most gutters here fail for the same three reasons.
Gainesville averages about 48 inches of rain a year under NOAA’s 1991–2020 normals for the regional airport, and roughly 26 of those inches fall from June through September. A lot of it arrives in short, hard afternoon storms. A gutter that handles a slow winter drizzle can be completely overwhelmed by one of those.
Live oaks shed in late winter and spring as their new leaves push out, and the long pollen strands follow right behind. Pines drop older needles through the year, heavily in fall. Needles knit together into a mat that holds leaves in place, and a gutter can go from clear to blocked in a single season. That is the job micro-mesh gutter guards are built for.
Plenty of older homes still have 5-inch gutters with a lone 2x3 downspout at the end of a long run. In a summer downpour the water can’t get out fast enough and sheets over the front edge. Going to 6-inch gutters with 3x4 downspouts doubles the downspout opening, and adding a second outlet on long runs often does more than either. See downspouts and drainage.
Spike-and-ferrule hangers loosen, sectional joints start to drip, and constant overflow soaks the fascia board until it rots. Once the wood goes soft, hangers pull out and the gutter tips forward. That usually calls for fascia repair followed by a clean gutter replacement.
Not every guard can handle pine needles.
These are the guard styles you’ll see sold around Alachua County. Ratings reflect how each one tends to hold up under the oak and pine mix on most Gainesville lots.
| Guard type | Pine needles | How it behaves under oaks and pines | Upkeep | Typical installed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stainless micro-meshFine mesh on an aluminum frame | Blocks | Stops leaves, catkins, needles and most roof grit. Debris dries on top and blows off. | Brush or rinse the mesh now and then | $9–$15 / ft |
| Aluminum micro-meshPerforated panel with fine screen | Blocks | Similar filtering to stainless at a lower cost; frame stiffness varies by brand. | Occasional rinse | $6–$11 / ft |
| Reverse curveHood that sheds water around a lip | Partial | Leaves slide off well, but needles can follow the water in. Can overshoot in very heavy rain. | Hood must be lifted to clean inside | Varies by brand |
| Perforated aluminumSheet with punched holes | Clogs | Keeps leaves out, but needles poke through the holes and lodge in the gutter. | Frequent; panels lift out | Lower cost |
| Plastic or vinyl screenSnap-in mesh grid | Clogs | Needles weave into the grid. Florida sun tends to make the plastic brittle. | Frequent; short service life | Lowest cost |
| Foam or brush insertsFiller sitting inside the trough | Clogs | Needles and seed pods stick in the bristles or on the foam, and wet debris stays put. | Pulled and cleaned often | Lowest cost |

You sign one number. That’s what you pay, even if a corner turns out to be trickier than it looked.
Show us where it overflows or sags. A few phone shots usually get you a rough range the same day.
We measure every eave, check fascia and downspout spots, and write down a fixed price with sizes and color.
Old gutters come off, bad wood is replaced, and new runs are formed on site and hung with hidden hangers.
We run water through each downspout, haul the scrap away, and walk the house with you before we leave.
Feet of gutter set the base. Height and fascia do the rest.
A single-story ranch with an open yard and a two-story house with steep valleys and soft fascia are very different jobs. These are the ranges most Gainesville gutter work lands in.
| Job | Typical range | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| 5″ seamless aluminum, installed | $7–$11 / ft | Corners, downspouts, roof height |
| 6″ seamless aluminum, installed | $9–$14 / ft | Run length, steep pitch, valleys |
| Full system, one-story home | $1,200–$2,800 | Total footage, tear-off, color |
| Full system, two-story home | $2,500–$4,500 | Ladder work, second-story access |
| Micro-mesh gutter guards | $6–$15 / ft | Stainless vs. aluminum, roof type |
| Gutter cleaning | $95–$275 | Stories, how packed the troughs are |
What a typical replacement looks like.
A typical job here: an older sectional gutter that has bellied out near the garage, with water pouring over the corner every storm and staining the wall below. The old run comes off, soft fascia gets replaced, and a single seamless run goes up with a bigger downspout at the corner where the water collects.
BeforeAfter
Hurricane season starts June 1. Your gutters should be ready.
Clogged or loose gutters turn tropical rain into overflow along the walls and doors. Summer thunderstorms test them almost daily, and storms like Irma in 2017 and Idalia in 2023 showed how much water north Florida roofs can take.

Honest sizing and tidy work.
If a repair will buy you years, we’ll say so instead of selling a whole new system.
Your quote lists footage, sizes, downspouts and color. Nothing gets added on install day.
We look at roof area, pitch and valleys for each run instead of using one size for the whole house.
We recommend micro-mesh only where your canopy calls for it, and say so when a yearly cleaning is enough.
Soft fascia gets replaced before we hang anything, so new gutters don’t pull loose in a year.
You get an arrival window and a text when the truck and trailer are on the way.
Liability and workers’ comp coverage on every job. Ask and we’ll send the certificate.

Seamless 5-inch aluminum gutters usually run $7–$11 per linear foot installed, and 6-inch runs $9–$14. For a whole house, a one-story ranch tends to land between $1,200 and $2,800 and a two-story between $2,500 and $4,500. Downspout count, corners, roof height and any fascia repair move the number. You get a fixed written price after we measure.
Five-inch K-style is the common size and works on many smaller, low-pitch roofs. Six-inch makes sense on steep roofs, long uninterrupted runs, valleys that dump onto one corner, and any house that already overflows in summer storms. We measure the roof sections draining into each run before recommending a size.
The gutter is formed from a coil of aluminum by a machine on our trailer, cut to the exact length of each roof edge. A run has no joints between the corners, so there are far fewer places for it to leak than with 10-foot sectional pieces snapped together.
Usually, if you pick the right kind. Fine micro-mesh stops oak leaves, catkins and most pine needles, while cheap screens and foam inserts tend to trap needles and clog. Guards cut down how often you need a cleaning, but nothing makes a gutter maintenance-free. A quick rinse of the mesh now and then is still part of owning them.
Most homes under heavy oak and pine canopy need it at least twice a year: once after the late-winter and spring oak leaf drop, and again in fall after pines shed. Houses with little tree cover can often go once a year. If you see water pouring over the edge during a normal rain, it’s already overdue.
Typical cleaning runs $95–$175 for a one-story home and $150–$275 for a two-story. That includes clearing the troughs by hand, flushing every downspout, and bagging the debris so it doesn’t end up in your flower beds.
Often, yes. Leaking corners, loose hangers, a single sagging section or a crushed downspout are repair jobs, usually $125–$600. If the gutters are sectional with leaks at most joints, pitched wrong along the whole run, or hung on rotted fascia, replacement is usually the better spend. We’ll tell you which side of that line yours are on.
Usually the downspouts are dumping right at the wall, the gutters are overflowing, or there aren’t enough downspouts for the roof area. Sandy Gainesville soil washes out fast under a concentrated stream. Longer extensions, an added downspout, or an underground drain line that carries water away from the house generally solves it.
Yes. Gutters hang from the fascia, so if that board is soft, new gutters won’t stay put. We probe the fascia during the estimate and price any replacement in the same written quote, so the wood is fixed before the new gutters go up.
Aluminum gutter coil comes prefinished in a range of colors, with white, bronze, almond and dark tones among the most common. We bring color samples to the estimate so you can hold them against your trim and roof.
It depends on the community. Many Gainesville-area HOAs, especially in larger planned neighborhoods, review exterior changes like gutter color or style. Check your covenants before you book. We can give you a written spec and color sample for the request.
Most single-family homes are done in one day, including tear-off of the old gutters, any minor fascia fixes and cleanup. Larger two-story homes, heavy fascia repair or added drainage lines can push it to a second day.
Yes. We handle offices, rental properties, small retail buildings and similar commercial roofs, including larger gutter profiles and box gutters. Commercial jobs are quoted on site because size, access and scheduling vary so much.
No, as long as we can reach every side of the house and the estimate is signed. We text when the crew arrives and send photos of the finished runs and downspouts when we’re done.
