Common gutter problems we fix
We re-secure gutters that have pulled away from the fascia, reseal joints that leak and replace sections damaged in a storm. Downspouts get flushed and refastened so water leaves the house at the bottom, not over the top.
We are roofers, so the repair includes the roof edge. When a gutter sags, the board behind it is often soft. We cut rotten fascia back to sound wood, fit a primed and painted board, then rehang the gutter to drain.
Gutter just full rather than broken? Our gutter cleaning service starts at $325 and small hanger and pitch fixes are done on the same visit.

Signs your gutters need repair
- 01
Water over the front edge
If rain pours over the front of the gutter instead of running to the downspout, it is blocked or the pitch is wrong.
- 02
A run pulling away
Standing water and packed debris are heavy. The weight tears hangers out of the fascia, and a tilted gutter stops draining.
- 03
Peeling paint or soft fascia
The board behind the gutter is the first thing to rot when water backs up. It is a repair that grows quickly if left.
- 04
Washed-out soil below
Channels or bare patches under the gutter line mean water lands there every storm instead of going down the downspout.
Repair or replace?
Most gutter problems are local and a repair fixes them. Replacement makes sense when the same run keeps failing.
| Problem | Repair is usually enough when | Replace when |
|---|---|---|
| Leaking joint or corner | The leak is at one or two joints. Resealing a leak costs $100 to $225. | Sectional gutters leak at joint after joint along the house. |
| Sagging or pulled-away run | The fascia is sound. New hangers cost $2 to $3 each plus labor. | The gutter is bent or kinked, not just loose. |
| Water pooling in the gutter | The pitch is off. Re-sloping costs $75 to $200. | The gutter is too small for the roof above it. |
| Broken or loose downspout | One downspout is crushed or detached. Replacement averages about $8 a linear foot. | Several downspouts and the gutters they serve are worn out. |
| Rust, cracks or holes | Damage is limited to one short section. | Rust or cracking runs along most of the system. |
| New roof going on | The gutters are young and in good shape. | They are near the end of their life. Doing both together avoids paying twice for access. |
Costs from HomeGuide (leak, hangers, pitch) and This Old House (downspouts). Repair or replace advice from our gutters page and the two guides above.
If replacement wins, seamless aluminum gutters cost $6 to $16 per linear foot installed. Our gutter installation cost guide breaks that down by material, and the gutter cost calculator runs it for your house.
HomeGuide sums it up well: repairs are worth it if only a few sections need replacing, while old and badly damaged gutters with frequent leaks benefit most from replacement.

How we quote
One written price, with any fascia work as its own line so you can see what is the gutter and what is the house. Financing is available on qualifying purchases, subject to credit approval.
Why gutters fail in Raleigh
Pine is the usual culprit here. Needles pack into a gutter faster than leaves and knit into a mat that water cannot get through. The gutter fills, gets heavy and starts pulling on its hangers.
Rain does the rest. Raleigh averages about 46 inches a year, and a good share arrives in summer storms that fill a gutter in minutes. A blocked or badly pitched gutter overflows down the wall and into the ground at the foundation.
Joints are the weak point. Sectional gutters have a joint every ten feet, and joints are where they leak, sag and separate. Seamless gutters are rolled to length on site, so the only joints are at corners and outlets.
The damage you cannot see is behind the gutter. Water that backs up soaks the fascia and works into the roof decking. Our soffit and fascia page covers that repair, and our storm damage page covers gutters hit by the same storm as the roof.

Which option fits you?
Four common situations, and what we would usually point you toward.
- 01
One leak or one loose run
A repair. Reseal the joint or rehang the run with new hangers, then water test it. Usually a short visit.
- 02
Sagging with soft fascia
Fascia repair first, then rehang. Hangers cannot hold in soft wood, so a gutter rehung on a rotten board sags again.
- 03
Leaks at joint after joint
Replacement with seamless gutters. Patching old sectional gutters every season costs more over time. See our gutter installation page.
- 04
Full, not broken
A cleaning. Our gutter cleaning starts at $325 and includes flushing every downspout and photos of the roof edge.
Gutter repair questions from Raleigh homeowners
How much does gutter repair cost in Raleigh?
We have not found a published Raleigh average. Nationally, This Old House puts gutter repair at $75 to $625, with most homeowners paying around $350. HomeGuide gives $100 to $450. We give you a written price after a free inspection.
How much does it cost to fix a sagging gutter?
HomeGuide puts sagging gutter repair at $75 to $300. New hangers cost $2 to $3 each plus labor at $50 to $150 an hour. If the fascia behind the gutter has rotted, replacing that board adds to the job.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace gutters?
Repair, when the damage is limited to a few sections. This Old House averages a repair at about $350 against $1,700 to $3,100 to replace the gutters around a house. Replacement wins when the same gutters keep leaking at joint after joint.
Do plumbers fix gutters?
Usually not. Gutters are part of the roof edge, so roofers and gutter contractors repair them. We handle gutters as part of our roofing work and check the fascia and shingles at the edge on the same visit.
Is storm damage to gutters covered by insurance?
Often it is, when the same storm damaged the roof. We document the gutters along with the roof so the claim covers everything rather than just the shingles.
How long does gutter repair take?
HomeGuide says minor gutter repairs take 1 to 2 hours on average, or up to a full day for extensive work. Fascia replacement behind the gutter adds time because the gutter has to come down first.
