Gutter Installation & Replacement in Salt Lake City, UT

Your gutters might be telling you they’re ready for replacement. Watch for sagging sections, visible leaks, rust spots, or gutters pulling away from your roofline. In Salt Lake City, seasonal weather changes and debris from the Wasatch Mountains can accelerate wear and tear. Other warning signs include visible cracks, water staining near your foundation, or gutters that overflow during rainstorms. If you notice water pooling around your home’s perimeter after spring snowmelt or summer storms, your gutters may not be channeling water away effectively. Salt Lake City homeowners face unique challenges. Heavy spring runoff from mountain snowmelt, summer monsoons, and intense UV exposure at our elevation can shorten gutter lifespan. Temperature swings throughout the year also take their toll on gutter materials. Most gutters last 20-25 years, but our climate can reduce that timeframe. If your gutters are approaching this age and showing these signs, it’s worth having them inspected. Addressing gutter issues early can help prevent more costly problems like foundation damage, basement flooding, or landscaping erosion down the line.

Aluminum is the best material for gutter installations because it’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and durable. For Salt Lake City homeowners, aluminum gutters handle the Wasatch Front’s diverse weather conditions well, from heavy spring runoff to dry summer heat. LeafFilter installs aluminum gutters in K-Style (5″, 6″, and 7″) and half-round styles, customized for your home.

Most gutter installations in Salt Lake City are completed in one day. A typical single-story home takes 4-6 hours, while larger or multi-story properties may require additional time. Several factors influence the timeline, including your home’s size, roof complexity, total gutter footage, and whether you’re replacing existing gutters or installing a new system. Homes with multiple angles, valleys, or dormers need extra time for custom fitting. Salt Lake City’s weather is generally favorable for installation, with spring and fall offering ideal conditions. Your installation team will work around the Wasatch Front’s occasional weather patterns to ensure quality results.

Proper gutter sizing depends on your roof area, pitch, and local weather patterns. In Salt Lake City, 5-inch gutters work well for most homes with moderate roof areas. However, 6-inch gutters are often recommended for larger roofs, steeper pitches, or homes in foothill areas that experience heavy spring runoff and intense summer thunderstorms common to Utah.
