Gutter Repair and Warning Signs

Not every gutter problem requires a completely new system. A repair is often the best solution when damage is limited to a specific area, and the rest of the system is performing well. However, issues are not always obvious until water damage appears around your home.

It may be time to call Apex if you notice:

  • Gutters pulling away from the roofline
  • Leaking seams or dripping corners
  • Water overflowing during rainstorms
  • Sagging or uneven gutter sections
  • Rust, cracks, dents, or storm damage
  • Water pooling near your foundation
  • Basement moisture or foundation staining
  • Damaged fascia or soffit boards
  • Soil erosion or washed-out landscaping

Addressing these problems early can help prevent more expensive repairs to your roof, siding, foundation, and interior.

Systems and upgrades

Every home requires a drainage system tailored to its roof size, tree canopy, and exposure to Midwest weather. We provide complete gutter solutions designed to safely direct heavy rain, snow melt, and ice away from your property.

Seamless Gutters | Apex General Contracting

Seamless Gutters

Custom-formed on-site to the exact dimensions of your home, seamless gutters eliminate section joints where leaks, rust, and structural weak points typically develop.

Gutter Size | Apex General Contracting

Gutter Size

While 5-inch gutters are the standard for most residential homes, we recommend 6-inch gutters for larger roof surfaces, steep pitches, or homes located in areas prone to heavy rainwater overflow.

Gutter Guards for Midwest Weather | Apex General Contracting

Gutter Guards for Midwest Weather

Gutter guards keep leaves and debris out, reduce seasonal maintenance, and prevent clog-related overflows. We evaluate your current pitch, tree coverage, and roofline to recommend guards that perform during heavy autumn leaf-fall and withstand Midwest snow and ice.

Downspouts and Color Matching | Apex General Contracting

Downspouts and Color Matching

We offer custom-placed downspouts and extended discharge lines that safely direct water beyond your foundation to protect against basement dampness and soil erosion. Additionally, our gutters come in a wide variety of factory-finished aluminum colors designed to seamlessly match your home’s existing siding, fascia, and trim.

Gutters & Roofing Work Together

Gutters are more than an exterior add-on, they are a key component of your roofing system. When gutters are damaged or not draining correctly, water can back up along the roof edge, damage fascia boards, overflow onto siding, or pool near the foundation.

At Apex, we view gutters as part of the home’s larger water-management system. During a roof inspection, roof replacement, or storm damage assessment, we evaluate your gutters to ensure water moves safely away from your property. If wind or hail damages the roof, we’ll look for signs that the gutters were affected as well.

When you have an issue, we’ll assess your roof edge and drainage system to help you decide whether a targeted repair or a full replacement makes the most sense.

Gutter Services After Storm Damage

Strong Midwest storms can dent gutters, loosen fasteners, pull sections away, damage downspouts, and trigger severe drainage problems. If your home recently experienced hail, high winds, or falling debris, Apex provides comprehensive inspections across your roof, siding, and gutter systems.

When storm damage affects multiple areas of your home, we document the full scope of exterior damage to help support your insurance claim. Our team can provide complete documentation, meet directly with the insurance adjuster, and help guide you through the process.

Once your claim is evaluated, we will walk you through your options, explaining where targeted repairs will work and where a full replacement is necessary to restore your home’s water management system. If the roof or siding was damaged in the same storm, we can coordinate all repairs as a single, seamless exterior project.
