Most gutter problems come from three things: wrong size, wrong pitch, or clogged debris. Elwood Roofing & Maintenance calculates gutter capacity based on your roof area, local rainfall intensity, and downspout placement. Properly sized and pitched gutters handle Elwood's worst rain without overflowing.
Our .027-gauge seamless aluminum comes in 25+ colors to match your trim, fascia, or roofing. For high-end homes, we install half-round copper gutters with soldered joints. They develop a natural patina over 5-7 years in IL's climate. Premium look, lifetime durability.
Our Gutter Installation Process
Measure & Calculate
Before we form a single piece of gutter, we measure everything. Roof area, pitch factors, downspout runs, and fascia condition. Proper calculation prevents the overflow and backup problems that plague undersized systems.
Seamless Gutter Forming
We bring our portable gutter machine to your Elwood property and form continuous seamless pieces to the exact length of each run. No factory seams, no joints. One piece of aluminum per section.
Professional Installation
We hang with hidden hangers. No exposed hardware. Each hanger is screwed through the fascia into the rafter tail for maximum hold. Gutter pitch checked with a level at every section. Downspouts placed for optimal drainage away from the foundation.
Cleanup & Test
We test the new gutter system with a water flow check before we leave. Every connection, every downspout, every end cap, confirmed watertight. Old material removed and the area cleaned up.
