Gutter Services in Charlotte

From new gutter installation to repairs and leaf protection, here are the gutter services Charlotte homeowners need most.

Home roofline with seamless aluminum gutters

Seamless Aluminum Gutters

Seamless gutters are custom-formed on-site to fit your home exactly, which means fewer joints and fewer leak points. Aluminum is the standard material for Charlotte homes — it's lightweight, rust-resistant, and comes in dozens of colors to match your trim. Most roofing contractors install gutters when they do a roof replacement, which saves on labor costs since they already have scaffolding and crews on-site.

Typical range: $6 – $12 per linear ft

Gutter Guards & Leaf Protection

Charlotte's oak and pine trees drop a lot of debris into gutters, especially in fall and spring. Gutter guards keep leaves, pine needles, and seeds out while letting water flow through. Micro-mesh guards work best for fine debris like pine needles, which are common in neighborhoods around Weddington and Marvin. Guards don't make gutters maintenance-free, but they cut cleaning frequency from twice a year to once every few years.

Typical range: $7 – $12 per linear ft

Gutter Repair

Sagging gutters, leaking seams, and overflowing corners are common problems in Charlotte's older neighborhoods. Most gutter repairs involve re-hanging sections that have pulled away from the fascia, sealing leaky joints, or replacing damaged downspout connections. If storm damage knocked a section loose, your homeowner's insurance may cover the repair cost. Small repairs caught early prevent water damage to your fascia boards, soffits, and foundation.

Typical range: $150 – $500
Downspout Installation Image

Downspout Installation

Downspouts carry water from your gutters to ground level and away from your foundation. If your home has water pooling near the foundation or damp basement walls, you may need additional downspouts or extensions. The general rule is one downspout for every 30–40 linear feet of gutter. Homes on slopes or with clay soil — common around Fort Mill and Indian Trail — sometimes need underground drainage lines connected to the downspouts.

Typical range: $100 – $300 each

What Affects Gutter Installation Costs

Six factors that determine what you'll pay for new gutters or gutter repair in Charlotte.

🏠

Home Size & Stories

More linear feet of gutter means a higher total cost. Two-story homes also cost more per foot because the crew needs taller ladders and more time. A typical Charlotte ranch-style home needs about 150 linear feet of gutter; a two-story colonial may need 200+.

🔨

Material Choice

Seamless aluminum is the standard and most affordable option. Steel gutters cost a bit more but handle heavy snow loads better. Copper is the premium choice — beautiful and long-lasting but three to four times the price of aluminum. Most Charlotte homes go with aluminum.

🍃

Gutter Guard Type

Screen-style guards are the cheapest. Micro-mesh guards cost more but keep out pine needles and small seeds. Reverse-curve (helmet-style) guards are the most expensive. The right type depends on what kind of trees are around your home.

📌

Fascia Condition

Gutters attach to the fascia board along your roofline. If the fascia is rotted or damaged, it needs replacing before new gutters go up. Fascia board replacement adds $6–$20 per linear foot depending on the material. This is common on older Charlotte homes that have had leaking gutters for years.

Downspout Count

Each downspout adds $100–$300 to the project. Homes with long gutter runs need more downspouts to handle water volume. If your current gutters overflow in heavy rain, adding a downspout or two is often the fix rather than replacing the entire system.

Accessibility

Homes with steep roof pitches, tight lot lines, landscaping close to the foundation, or sections over decks and porches take more labor time. If the crew can't get a truck close or needs to work around obstacles, it adds to the cost.

Gutter Installation FAQ

Aluminum gutters last 20–30 years. Copper gutters can last 50+ years. If your gutters are sagging, pulling away from the fascia, or leaking at multiple seams despite repairs, it's time for new ones. Many homeowners replace their gutters when they get a new roof installed — it's more cost-effective to do both at once since the roofing crew is already set up.
For most Charlotte homes, yes — especially if you have pine trees or oaks nearby. Professional gutter cleaning runs $150–$300 per visit, and most homes need it twice a year. Gutter guards at $7–$12 per linear foot pay for themselves within 3–5 years in saved cleaning costs. They also prevent the clogged-gutter overflow that leads to fascia rot and foundation problems. Just know that no guard is 100% maintenance-free — you'll still want to check them once a year.
Most Charlotte homes use 5-inch K-style gutters, which handle moderate rainfall well. If your home has a steep roof, large roof area, or you live in an area with heavy downpours, 6-inch gutters are the better choice. Commercial buildings and homes with metal roofing (which sheds water faster) often need 6-inch gutters or oversized downspouts. A good installer will calculate your roof's drainage area and recommend the right size.
You can buy sectional gutters at a home improvement store and install them yourself, but seamless gutters require a forming machine that only contractors have. Seamless gutters are the standard for a reason — fewer joints means fewer leak points. DIY sectional gutters tend to leak at the seams within a few years. For a single-story ranch, it's a manageable DIY project. For two-story homes, the ladder work alone makes it worth hiring a pro.
Not always, but it's worth considering. During a roof replacement, the crew removes the drip edge and works along the roofline where gutters attach. If your gutters are older than 15 years, adding new gutters to the roofing project saves on labor since the crew is already up there. If your gutters are newer and in good shape, a roofer can work around them. Ask your contractor to inspect the gutters and fascia during the roof inspection so you know before the project starts.
