Gutter Installation
Gutter Installation in Lakewood, CO That Protects the Foundation
Gutters are the part of the roof system that protects everything below the roof: the fascia, the siding, the foundation, and the basement. When they sag, leak at the seams, or dump water at the foundation, the damage shows up as stained siding, rotted fascia, and a wet basement wall. A new gutter system is sized to your roof, pitched to drain, and hung so it stays put through snow load and freeze-thaw. Call (720) 817-3348 and talk through your gutters with a local crew.
Service overview
What Gutter Installation in Lakewood Actually Involves
A gutter installation starts with the roof, not the gutter. We measure the roof area feeding each run, the pitch, and the number of valleys, because a steep roof sheds water faster than a shallow one and a valley concentrates it. The gutters are formed on site to the length of each run, so there are no seams except at corners and downspouts. They are hung with hidden hangers screwed into the fascia, pitched so water moves toward the downspout, and the downspouts are placed to carry water away from the foundation.
The fascia matters as much as the gutter. If the fascia is rotted from years of overflow, new gutters hung on it will sag within a season, so we check it and replace what is soft before hanging anything. Downspout placement is planned around walkways, driveways, and the grade around the house, because water that discharges at the foundation is water that ends up in the basement. If your roof is being replaced at the same time, gutters go on after the roof, so the drip edge and the gutter work together. Gutters are roofing-adjacent work: we install and repair them, and cleaning is not a service we offer.
Practical benefits
Why New Gutters Are Worth Doing Right
Gutters are a small part of the roof system and a large part of what keeps the house dry. Here is what a proper installation buys you.
Water Away From the Foundation
A downspout that discharges at the foundation feeds basement moisture and foundation movement. Proper placement and extensions move water well clear of the house.
Fascia That Stops Rotting
Overflowing gutters soak the fascia board behind them. New gutters pitched to drain, with a sound fascia underneath, stop the rot at its source.
No More Seam Leaks
Seamless gutters have no joints along the run, which is where sectional gutters leak first. The only joints are at corners and downspouts, where they are sealed and accessible.
A Roof System That Works Together
Drip edge, gutter, and downspout are one water path. When they are installed as a system, water leaves the roof, crosses the gutter, and reaches the ground without touching the house.
How service works
What to Expect During Your Gutter Installation
Gutter work is usually done in a day or two. Here is the sequence.
STEP 01
Roof and Fascia Inspection
We walk the roofline, check the fascia for rot, and measure the roof area feeding each run so the gutter size and downspout count are right.
Tools and methods
Tools and Methods We Use on Every Gutter Job
Seamless gutter machine
Forms gutters on site to the exact length of each run, so there are no seams along the straight sections.
Hidden hangers
Hidden hangers screwed into sound fascia hold the gutter without the spikes that work loose and sag over time.
Level and string line
A level and a string line set the pitch so water moves toward the downspout instead of pooling in the middle of the run.
Downspout crimper
A crimper joins downspout sections cleanly so water flows without catching at the joint.
Fascia repair
Rotted fascia is replaced before the gutter goes on, because a new gutter on soft fascia will sag within a season.
Drip edge
The drip edge laps into the gutter so roof water lands in it, not behind it.
Outlet and end cap sealant
Sealant at corners, outlets, and end caps — the joints a seamless gutter still has — keeps them watertight.
Chimney flashing check
A cricket above a chimney moves water around it instead of letting it pool against the flashing and spill over the gutter. We check the cricket whenever we work a gutter line below a chimney.
Downspout extensions
Carry water away from the foundation and off walkways, so the discharge point is not the next problem.
Magnetic sweep cleanup
Screws, hangers, and metal offcuts are swept out of the yard and driveway before we leave.
Where this service fits
When New Gutters Are the Right Call
Gutters sag and pull away from the fascia
Spikes work loose and hangers fail. New gutters on sound fascia with hidden hangers fix the sag instead of re-nailing the same failed spikes.
Seams leak every time it rains
Sectional gutters leak at the joints. Seamless gutters remove the joints along the run, which is where the leaks start.
Water pours over the edge in a storm
Overflow means the gutter is undersized, pitched wrong, or the downspouts are too few for the roof area feeding them. We size the system from the roof, not from a guess.
The basement wall is wet after rain
Water discharging at the foundation is often the cause. Downspout extensions and proper placement move the water clear of the house.

How Gutter Installation Works in Lakewood
A new gutter system starts with sizing, not with a ladder. Seamless aluminium runs about $7 to $15 per linear foot installed in the Denver market, and Angi Denver puts the average gutter job at $1,217 — published market ranges, not this company’s prices. The run length, the gutter size, the number of downspouts, and the fascia underneath all set the scope, and on a 1970s fascia that has seen decades of overflow the fascia check comes before anything is hung. Hail dents gutters and knocks granules into them, which is why a roof inspection and a gutter check often happen together.
Gutters are sized to the roof they serve, and Lakewood’s roofs vary by neighbourhood. See the seven areas we cover on our locations page.
Problems we solve
Roof Problems New Gutters Solve
Gutters are a small system with a large job. Here are the problems a new installation solves.
Water staining the siding and fascia
Overflow soaks the fascia and runs down the siding. New gutters pitched to drain, with a sound fascia underneath, stop the staining at its source.
A wet basement wall after rain
Downspouts discharging at the foundation feed basement moisture. Extensions and proper placement move the water clear of the house.
Gutters that sag and pull away
Spikes and failed hangers are the cause. Hidden hangers screwed into sound fascia hold the gutter where it belongs.
Ice dams at the eaves
Gutters do not cause ice dams, but a clogged or sagging one makes them worse. A new gutter that drains, with balanced ventilation behind it, keeps the eaves clear. See ourventilation and ice dam page for the full picture.

Why Our Crews Get Gutters Right
A gutter is only as good as its pitch, its hangers, and the fascia behind it. Colorado has no state roofing licence; the City of Lakewood registers roofing contractors under Class 5h, Roofing and Waterproofing. We size the system from your roof, form the gutters on site to the length of each run, and hang them on fascia we have checked and repaired. Every job ends with a water test of every run and downspout.

Notes from local customers
What Lakewood Homeowners Say
Shortly after a horrible hail storm, Keith from Roof Authority LLC provided a free inspection of our roof and suggested replacement of the roof and gutters, as well as replacement of one window screen. He worked with the insurance company and ushered through the claims' submission. On the scheduled day, the crew replaced the entire roof and gutters in one day! After completion of the project, Keith inspected the job and discovered one missing shingle which he replaced the same day also. Overall, working with Roof Authority has been very positive. We have recommended Roof Authority, LLC to our friends. Thank you Keith!
We had several roofing contractors inspect our roof after a recent hail storm. Keith was the most professional and knowledgeable of them all. He worked well with our insurance company, was there for the insurance adjuster's visit to our home, and his friendly crew replaced our roof in one day! They did a thorough cleanup afterward. Keith also noticed a hail damaged gutter that needed replacing and took care of that also. He also replaced four hail damaged window screens at no charge. We would highly recommend Roof Authority LLC to anybody needing a hail damaged roof repaired or replaced!
Seamless aluminium runs about $7 to $15 per linear foot installed in the Denver market, and Angi Denver puts the average gutter job at $1,217. Those are published market ranges, not this business’s prices. What your installation costs depends on the length of the runs, the gutter size, the downspout count, and the fascia underneath, which is why the written scope comes before the price. For the roof side of the project, see our Lakewood roof replacement cost guide.
Seamless gutters are formed on site to the length of each run, so there are no joints along the straight sections — and joints are where sectional gutters leak first. The only joints on a seamless gutter are at corners and downspouts, where they are sealed and accessible.
No. We install and repair gutters and downspouts, and we do not offer gutter cleaning. If your gutters are full of debris, clear them before we inspect, so we can see the pitch and the fascia underneath before we price the installation.
Soft, rotted, or peeling fascia will not hold a gutter. We check it by hand before hanging anything, and we replace what is soft first. A new gutter on rotted fascia will sag within a season, so the fascia check is part of every installation.
