See What Columbus Homeowners Say about Gutter Installation & Replacement

Gutter Installation Pricing in Columbus, OH
We can’t provide exact pricing online because every home in Columbus is unique. That’s why we offer a free, no-pressure consultation to assess your specific needs and provide an accurate quote.
Key factors that affect your quote: Home height and roof pitch (which determines safety equipment needs), material choice (aluminum vs copper), gutter size (5-inch, 6-inch, or 7-inch), and whether fascia repairs are needed. Fascia condition is often the biggest variable—Columbus’ freeze-thaw cycles and humid summers mean our team checks this carefully during every inspection.
If you have existing gutters, we’ll handle removal and disposal as part of your project. Ready to get started? Schedule your free consultation today, and we’ll provide a detailed quote customized for your home.

Columbus’ Climate Challenges
Year-Round Gutter Protection
Spring & Summer
Columbus gets about 40 inches of rain annually, with June and July bringing intense thunderstorms that drop over two inches in an hour. Standard 5-inch gutters often can’t handle this volume from larger roof areas, causing water to overflow and pool against foundations. We see this especially on two-story colonials where the roof pitch creates concentrated runoff. LeafFilter gutters are customized for your home to match your roof’s actual drainage needs.
Fall & Winter
Our mature maple, oak, and sycamore trees shed heavy leaf volume each fall across neighborhoods like German Village and Clintonville. When wet leaves pile up in gutters through November and December, constant moisture contact deteriorates wooden fascia boards—damage most homeowners don’t notice until spring. A completely enclosed gutter system helps prevent debris from settling where it traps moisture against your home’s trim year-round.
Did You Know?
Just a small rainstorm can divert hundreds of gallons of water to your foundation if your gutters are clogged. Columbus receives an average annual precipitation of 39.1 inches. With this amount of rainfall, proper gutter maintenance is essential to help protect your home’s foundation from water damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your gutters are sagging, leaking, pulling away from your home, or showing visible cracks and rust, it’s time for new gutters. Columbus experiences around 39 inches of annual rainfall, along with spring storms and fall debris from oak and maple trees. These conditions can accelerate gutter wear, making timely replacement important to help protect your foundation and home.

In Columbus, where seasonal weather brings everything from summer storms to winter conditions, aluminum gutters can handle the heavy rainfall common to Central Ohio while maintaining long-lasting performance and curb appeal.
Most professional gutter installations in Columbus are completed in one day. The timeline depends on your home’s size and style—single-story homes typically take less time than two-story homes with multiple roof valleys or steep pitches.

LeafFilter uses Sherwin Williams’ Plastilure system to match your existing gutters or select a new color that complements your Columbus home’s exterior. Our custom gutter system is designed to fit your property’s specific needs.

Yes, new gutters need regular maintenance. In Columbus, this typically means cleaning 2-3 times per year—especially during spring and fall when oak and maple trees shed heavily. Maintenance includes removing debris, inspecting after storms, and checking for proper drainage. Pairing gutters with a guard system like LeafFilter helps reduce cleaning frequency by helping prevent debris from entering your gutters.
Yes, gutters can be installed on any roof type, including steep or complex designs.

All gutter installations are backed by a lifetime warranty. This coverage helps protect Columbus homeowners from potential issues and provides peace of mind for their gutter system.
