Gutter Installation & Replacement in Madison, WI

If your gutters are sagging, leaking, rusting, or pulling away from your home, it’s a clear sign you need new gutters. In Madison, heavy spring rains and freezing winter temperatures can accelerate wear and tear, making timely gutter replacement important to help protect your home from water damage.

Aluminum is the best material for new gutter installations in Madison. It’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and handles the area’s 30+ inches of annual rainfall and temperature swings from below-zero winters to humid summers. Aluminum gutters typically last 20-25 years and are available in multiple colors. Copper is another excellent option that can last 50+ years and develops a distinctive patina, making it popular for historic Madison homes.

Professional gutter installations typically take several hours to complete. The exact timeframe depends on your home’s size, roof complexity, and the type of gutter system being installed. Wisconsin weather conditions may also affect scheduling.

LeafFilter uses Sherwin Williams’ Plastilure system to match the color of your existing gutters or select a new shade that complements your Madison home’s exterior. Our gutters are customized for your home to ensure a cohesive appearance.

Gutter size depends on your home’s roof area and local rainfall patterns. In Madison, 6-inch gutters are often recommended because they handle heavy rainfall better than 5-inch gutters. This extra capacity helps during Wisconsin’s spring storms and seasonal weather changes when rain can be particularly intense.

Yes, new gutters require regular maintenance. In Madison, unprotected gutters typically need cleaning 2-4 times per year—especially during spring after seed pods drop and fall when oak and maple leaves accumulate. Gutter protection systems can help reduce this upkeep. LeafFilter is engineered to help prevent common debris from entering gutters while allowing rainwater to flow through, offering a low maintenance solution backed by a lifetime transferable warranty.

Yes, gutters can be installed on steep or complex roofs.

Installers customize gutter systems to match your roof’s pitch and complexity, ensuring proper water drainage. Steep roofs or homes with unique features may require specialized mounting techniques, but experienced installers can adapt systems to fit nearly any structure.

Gutters help protect your home by directing rainwater away from your foundation, walls, and landscaping. In Madison, where spring thaw and summer thunderstorms bring significant rainfall, properly functioning gutters help prevent basement flooding, soil erosion, and damage to your home’s exterior.

Gutter installation services typically come with a warranty that covers workmanship and materials. Coverage terms vary by provider, so it’s important for Madison homeowners to ask about warranty length, what’s included, and whether it’s transferable to future owners.
