Gutter Installation & Replacement in Baltimore, MD

If your gutters are sagging, leaking, or pulling away from your home, it’s time for new gutters. In Baltimore’s humid subtropical climate, heavy spring rains and summer thunderstorms accelerate wear. Look for visible rust, cracks, or water damage near your foundation. Aluminum gutters typically last 15-20 years, while copper can last 50+ years. Inspect your gutters seasonally, especially after major storms.

Aluminum is the best material for new gutter installations in Baltimore because it’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and holds up well against the area’s 41+ inches of annual rainfall. Baltimore’s humid climate and seasonal weather changes make aluminum an ideal choice that maintains its appearance year-round. For historic Baltimore neighborhoods like Federal Hill or Mount Vernon, copper offers a premium, long-lasting option that complements older architectural styles.

Most professional gutter installations in Baltimore are completed in one day. Simple installations on ranch-style homes typically take 4-6 hours, while two-story homes with complex rooflines may require 6-8 hours. Baltimore’s mix of historic rowhomes and suburban properties means installation complexity can vary widely. Your installer will provide a specific time estimate during the initial consultation.

LeafFilter uses Sherwin Williams’ Plastilure system to match your existing gutters or coordinate with your Baltimore home’s exterior. Our gutters are customized for your property, allowing you to select a color that works with your home’s style.

Choosing the right gutter size depends on your home’s roof area and Baltimore’s weather patterns. Most Baltimore area homes benefit from 6-inch gutters, which handle heavy rainfall during spring storms and summer downpours. Larger roof surfaces or steeper pitches may require 6-inch or even 7-inch gutters, while 5-inch gutters typically work for smaller homes with less roof area.

Yes, new gutters require regular maintenance to help prevent clogs and water damage. In Baltimore, homeowners typically clean gutters 2-4 times per year as seasonal debris from oak and maple trees quickly builds up. Installing a gutter guard system can significantly reduce this maintenance. LeafFilter is engineered to help prevent common debris from entering gutters while allowing water to flow through, providing low-maintenance, clog-free gutters.

Yes, gutters can be installed on virtually any roof type, including steep or complex designs. Baltimore’s architectural diversity—from historic Federal Hill rowhouses to sprawling Roland Park homes—presents unique challenges that local professionals are experienced handling. Whether your home features a steep Victorian gable, low-slope modern design, or complex rooflines with multiple valleys and dormers, gutter systems can be customized to ensure proper drainage and help protect your home year-round.

Gutters help protect your home by directing rainwater away from your foundation, walls, and landscaping. In Baltimore, where the area receives over 40 inches of rain annually—including intense summer thunderstorms and heavy autumn downpours—properly functioning gutters are essential for helping to prevent basement flooding, foundation damage, and soil erosion around your property.
