Gutter Services in Cary, NC
Gutters That Move Water Away From Everything You Own
A 2,000 square foot roof sheds well over 1,000 gallons of water in a single inch of rain, and all of it has to land somewhere other than up against the foundation wall. Angie Construction Services installs and repairs gutters in Cary, NC, and across Apex, Morrisville, Holly Springs, Wake Forest, and Raleigh, covering seamless aluminum runs, downspouts and extensions, leaf guards, fascia and gutter board repair, and drainage correction around the house.
Gutters look simple and they fail for unglamorous reasons: wrong size for the roof area, too few downspouts, pitch set by eye, or fascia too soft to hold a hanger. Our family-owned, insured crews carry 30+ combined years of exterior work, size the system to the actual roof, and repair what sits behind it before hanging anything.

Gutters We Install and Repair
Seamless Gutter Installation
Runs are formed on site to the exact length of each roof edge, which removes the joints that eventually leak. Hangers are spaced for real load, not the minimum, so the run holds shape through heavy rain and debris.
Downspout and Extension Systems
Gutters only work if the downspouts can keep up, and most homes have too few of them. We add outlets where volume demands, size the drops to the run, and carry discharge far enough out from the wall to matter.
Gutter Repair and Resealing
Separated seams, pulled hangers, and failed end caps account for most drips, and none of them require a full replacement. Resetting the pitch, refastening the run, and resealing the joints restores flow for a small fraction of the disruption.
Fascia and Gutter Board Replacement
Wood behind a leaking gutter rots quietly for years before anyone actually notices. Replacing the damaged fascia and gutter board, then wrapping it in aluminum, gives the new hangers something solid to bite and stops the cycle repeating.
Gutter Guard and Leaf Protection
Under mature oaks and pines, cleaning twice a year gets old fast. Guards reduce that work substantially, though no product is truly maintenance free, and the right style depends on whether you are fighting leaves, needles, or shingle grit.
Gutter Cleaning and Flow Correction
Clogged runs overflow at the back edge, which is the worst possible place because water goes straight into the fascia. Clearing debris, flushing downspouts, and correcting pitch restores the drainage path the system was originally built to follow.
Why Choose Us for Gutter Installation and Repair
Sizing Based on Your Actual Roof Area
Standard 5 inch gutter handles a modest roof and overflows on a large one with steep pitches. Measuring the drainage area and choosing 5 or 6 inch accordingly is the difference between a system that works and one that spills.
Pitch Set for Real Drainage
A run that looks level to the eye holds standing water, breeds mosquitoes, and sags over time. Setting a consistent fall toward each outlet takes measurement rather than judgment, and it separates a gutter that drains from one that holds.
Water Directed Away From Foundations
Downspouts emptying right at the wall are how basements get wet and slabs settle unevenly. Extensions, buried drains, and discharge points chosen with the grade in mind put the water where it can leave rather than soak straight in.
Fascia Repaired Before Gutters Go Back
Hanging new gutters on soft rotted wood guarantees the same failure in a few years. Checking and replacing that board first adds a step and is the only way the new system stays exactly where it was set on day one.
Colors That Match the Trim You Have
Gutters run the entire perimeter of a house, so a near miss on color is visible from the street forever. Matching existing trim, or choosing a deliberate contrast, keeps the exterior reading as one considered whole rather than a patchwork.
Systems That Handle Real Downpours
Summer storms can drop an inch of rain in under an hour, which overwhelms an undersized system in minutes. Sizing the run, the outlets, and the downspouts to that reality is what keeps water off the siding and out of the crawlspace.
Water Off the Roof and Away From the House
Gutters are the least glamorous part of an exterior and they quietly protect the most expensive parts of it. Sized correctly, pitched properly, and hung on solid wood, they keep water off siding, out of crawlspaces, and away from the foundation for decades with almost no attention at all. Angie Construction Services installs and repairs gutter systems throughout Cary, NC, and the surrounding Wake County towns, usually alongside roofing work already underway.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
What size gutters does my house need?
Five inch handles most single story roofs, while larger areas, steep pitches, and long runs need 6 inch with extra downspouts. Angie Construction Services measures drainage area on every Cary, NC home before ever recommending a gutter size.
Are gutter guards worth installing?
Under heavy tree cover, usually yes, because they cut cleaning frequency dramatically. On an open lot with little debris the return is smaller. No guard eliminates maintenance entirely, and any that claims to should be treated with some skepticism.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Twice a year is the usual baseline, in late spring and again after the leaves finish dropping. Homes under pine trees need more, because needles accumulate year round and pack into downspouts more tightly than broad leaves ever do.
Why do my gutters overflow even when they are clean?
Almost always undersizing or too few downspouts. A clean 5 inch gutter still overflows if the roof sheds more water than the outlets can carry, and a valley dumping directly into a run will overwhelm it nearly every time.
Can gutters cause foundation problems?
Failed gutters are one of the most common causes. Water saturating soil against a foundation leads to settlement, hydrostatic pressure, and crawlspace moisture. Angie Construction Services has corrected that drainage around Cary, NC homes for 30+ combined years.
How do seamless gutters compare with sectional ones?
Sectional gutters come in stock lengths joined together with connectors, and every joint is a future leak point. Seamless runs are rolled on site to the full length of each edge, leaving joints only at the corners and outlets.
How far should downspouts extend from the house?
At least 4 to 6 feet from the foundation, and further where the grade slopes back toward the house. Underground drains carrying discharge to a lower point in the yard work better than surface extensions in tight side yards.
Do gutters need to be removed for a roof replacement?
Usually not. Gutters generally stay in place while the drip edge and starter course are installed above them, though older or damaged runs are worth replacing at the same time since the ladder work is already happening anyway.
