Gutter Installation in Langley, WA

New gutters that carry island rain away from the house

Gutter installation is the last piece that keeps rain off your siding and away from your foundation. We put new gutters and downspouts on homes, shops, barns and carports across Whidbey Island. We use seamless aluminum gutters, formed in one length for each run of the roof. Rain here runs from October into April, and a gutter that overflows all winter does real damage.

Most gutter work comes with something else attached. Old gutters usually hang on fascia that has gone soft, so the wood gets fixed first. New gutters also go up during a roof replacement, because the roof edge and the gutter meet. We are licensed, bonded and insured, based in Langley, with more than 30 years of experience on the island.

What We Handle

  • New seamless gutters formed on site, one continuous length for each run of roof
  • Gutter replacement when old gutters sag, drip at the seams or pull off the fascia
  • 5-inch and 6-inch K-style aluminum gutters, sized to the roof area draining into them
  • Downspouts in 2 by 3 inch and 3 by 4 inch, placed where the water can get away
  • Hidden hangers screwed into solid wood, with the trough pitched toward each outlet
  • Fascia and trim rot cut out and replaced before the new gutters go up
  • Gutter guards fitted over the trough against fir cones, leaves and moss
  • Gutters tied into a new roof edge, drip edge and flashing on a re-roof

Seamless gutters and downspouts sized for your roof

Seamless gutters are rolled out of a coil of aluminum at your house. Each run of the roof gets one unbroken piece. The seams that remain are at corners, downspout outlets and end caps. Those joints are where old sectional gutters start to drip.

Gutter size follows the roof area that drains into each run. A 5-inch K-style gutter with a 2 by 3 inch downspout handles most island homes. Large roof planes, long runs and steep pitches send more water at once. Those get a 6-inch gutter with a 3 by 4 inch downspout.

Hangers screw through the trough into solid wood behind the fascia board. The trough gets a slight fall toward each outlet so water does not stand in it. Downspout count matters as much as gutter size. With more outlets, each one carries less water.

Where does the water go after the downspout?

A gutter only moves water to the end of the roof. What happens next is what keeps a crawlspace dry. We aim each downspout away from the foundation. A splash block or a pad of crushed rock goes where the water lands.

The state stormwater manual for Western Washington gives homeowners a rough yardstick. It allows up to 700 square feet of roof to drain to one splash block. It also asks for about 50 feet of planted ground below that spot. That distance is measured to a property line, a building, a steep slope or a creek.

Some lots need the water piped underground to a tightline or a drywell. That is drainage work, and soil and groundwater decide whether it will even drain. We set the downspouts and show you where such a line would tie in. Rules change by jurisdiction, so confirm yours with Island County Planning and Community Development.

Gutter replacement and gutter guards on Whidbey Island

Old gutters sag in the middle and drip at every seam. Sometimes a whole run leans out from the wall. Often the fascia behind them has gone soft from years of overflow. That wood gets wood rot repair before the new brackets go in.

Island roofs sit under big Douglas fir and cedar. Cones and needles fill the trough, and moss grows in what is left. Gutter guards cover the top of the gutter so the coarse debris rolls off the edge. Fir needles are the hard part, because they are thin enough to sit on a fine mesh.

Gutters come off when new siding goes on, then go back up on the finished wall. The same thing happens at the roof edge. There the drip edge and the first course of shingles sit over the back of the gutter. Doing the gutters in that same visit means the brackets land in new wood.

FAQ

Gutters Questions, Answered

Common questions about gutters across Whidbey Island, Camano Island and the Skagit side. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (360) 544-9655

What are seamless gutters?
They are formed from a coil of aluminum right at your house. Each run of roof gets one unbroken length. Joints only happen at corners, downspout outlets and end caps. Fewer joints means fewer places for a slow drip to start.
What size gutters and downspouts do I need?
It comes down to how much roof drains into each run. A 5-inch K-style gutter with a 2 by 3 inch downspout covers most homes here. Large roof planes and steep pitches call for a 6-inch gutter and a 3 by 4 inch downspout. We measure the roof at the estimate and tell you which one fits.
How much does gutter installation cost?
Price follows the measurements: the feet of gutter a house needs and how high off the ground it sits. Gutter size, the number of downspouts and gutter guards move the number too. Rotted fascia found behind the old gutters adds to it. Estimates are free, so call or text (360) 544-9655 and we will set up a time to measure.
Should I replace the gutters when I get a new roof?
Usually yes. The gutter sits under the drip edge and the first course of shingles, so it comes down either way. Gutters that are straight and tight can go back up. If they sag or the fascia is soft, doing both at once saves a second trip.
Will gutter guards stop fir needles?
They stop the coarse debris. Cones, leaves and moss roll off the guard instead of filling the trough. Fir needles are thinner, and some will still sit on a mesh or work through a screen. Guards cut how often a gutter packs solid, and it still pays to look at them once a year.
Can you do the gutters as part of a bigger exterior job?
Yes. Gutters, fascia, soffit, roof and siding all meet at the same edge of the house. Running them under one contractor and one schedule is what exterior remodeling covers. We hang gutters on shops, barns, carports and patio covers as well as houses.

They installed a new metal roof on the house we purchased and were able to start quickly which meant it was nearly done by the time we moved in. We had a great experience working with Jeff who was very helpful with suggestions on some cosmetic changes we made and the entire roof and gables came out nicely. Very pleased with this company and would recommend them to anyone on Whidbey looking for roofing or siding work.

Whidbey Roof and Siding did an outstanding job. Very professional! No playing games came in with the lowest bid. We did run into a few surprises, but Jeff was very clear and transparent about what it would take to correct the issue. Very glad I had someone who could deal with the issues. As one recent visitor said the skylight looks like it was here all along and not an after thought addition. Highly recommend
