Most gutter problems announce themselves the same way: a drip line in the mulch, a stripe of dirt on the siding, a sheet of water pouring over the edge in a rainstorm. The visible symptom is rarely the whole story. A leaking corner is often a pitch problem two runs upstream, and a sagging section usually means hangers pulled loose long before the metal bent.
Our repair visits start with diagnosis, not caulk. We find the actual cause, fix it with commercial-grade hardware and freeze-rated sealants, and then run water through the system to prove the fix before we leave. Most residential repairs are finished in a single visit.
We repair all gutter types, seamless or sectional, on homes and commercial buildings across western North Dakota, North Idaho, eastern Washington, and Minnesota's west metro. Winters here are the reason half these repairs exist, so everything we put back up is chosen to survive the next one.
Problems We Fix
If water is going anywhere except down the downspout and away from the building, it is on this list.
- Leaking seams, miters, corners, and end caps
- Sagging, loose, or detached runs
- Bad pitch causing standing water or overflow
- Crushed, disconnected, or misaligned downspouts
- Ice, snow-slide, and wind damage
- Rusted or failed hangers and fasteners
- Overflow driven by clogs or undersized outlets
What a Repair Visit Includes
Every visit starts with an inspection of the full system, not just the section that dripped, because gutter failures travel. From there the work typically covers pitch and level correction, seam resealing or partial section replacement with seamless stock matched to your profile, hanger and bracket upgrades, downspout realignment, and clearing debris from the area we work in. We use freeze-resistant sealants and commercial-grade hardware because a repair that fails at the first hard freeze was not a repair. The visit ends with a water test on the corrected section.
Repair or Replace?
Repair is the right call when the damage is local: one seam, one run of loose hangers, one crushed downspout. Replacement is the right call when corrosion is widespread, seams are failing across the system, or the layout was wrong from the start. We quote what the system needs, and when it is close we give you both numbers. Nobody here is paid to sell you a replacement you do not need.
Fixing the Same Gutter Twice Is a Sign
A lot of repeat repair calls trace back to one root cause: debris. Clogs hold standing water, standing water freezes, ice pries seams apart and drags gutters off their hangers, and next fall the cycle restarts. If we are fixing damage that debris caused, we will say so, and often the durable fix is Alu-Rex guard protection installed after the repair. As the only Alu-Rex Certified Installer in your region, we can quote that in the same visit.

How the Job Runs
- 01 Inspect and diagnose
We trace the symptom to its cause, document it with photos, and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
- 02 Repair
Seams resealed or sections replaced, pitch corrected, hangers upgraded, downspouts realigned. Whatever the diagnosis called for, done in one visit where possible.
- 03 Test and clean up
We water-test the repaired section, confirm drainage through the downspouts, and clean up the work area.
Common Questions
01 Should I repair or replace my gutters?
Localized problems, a leaking seam, a sagging section, a bad downspout, are worth repairing. Widespread corrosion, seam failures all over the system, or a layout that never drained right point to replacement. We look at the whole system and tell you which side you are on, with numbers for both when it is close.
02 Can gutters be repaired in winter?
Many repairs, yes. Hanger work, realignment, and mechanical fixes do not care about the cold, and we use cold-applied sealants where sealing is needed. Bigger re-pitching jobs sometimes wait for warmer weather so sealants cure properly. We will tell you what can happen now versus spring.
03 Why does my gutter keep sagging in the same spot?
Usually one of two things: hangers spaced too far apart for the snow load they carry, or standing water from bad pitch adding weight all season. Re-screwing the same hanger fixes the symptom for a year. We fix the spacing and the pitch so it stays fixed.
04 How long does a repair take?
Most residential repairs run one to three hours depending on roof height and how much of the system is involved. Full rehangs and commercial work take longer, and we scope that in the quote.
05 How do I stop the damage from coming back?
Keep debris out. Most repeat failures start with clogs holding water and ice in the trough. After the repair, options are seasonal cleanings or Alu-Rex guard protection with our lifetime clog-free guarantee, which removes the cause instead of managing it.
