Failing gutters cause more home damage than failing roofs. Water that overflows or escapes through holes washes away foundation soil, rots fascia, ruins landscaping, and floods basements. Our gutter specialists install seamless aluminum, steel, and copper gutter systems sized precisely for your roof — with optional leaf-guard systems to eliminate cleaning.
Custom-fabricated on-site to your exact roofline — fewer joints means fewer leaks over time.
Proper gutters route 100+ gallons per inch of rain away from your foundation, preventing settling and basement flooding.
Aluminum (most popular), galvanized steel (heavy-duty), or copper (50+ year lifespan, premium aesthetic).
Eliminate annual gutter cleaning with quality leaf-guard systems. 25-year warranties available.
Pricing is typically per linear foot of gutter. Most homes have 150–200 linear feet of gutter.
Most common, 20–30 yr lifespan
Higher capacity for heavy rain
Heavy-duty, 20–25 yr
Premium aesthetic, 50+ yr
Eliminates cleaning
Contractor measures your roofline, recommends gutter size based on roof area and local rainfall, and provides a written estimate.
Choose material, color, and whether to add leaf-guard protection. Most aluminum systems offer 15+ color options.
Seamless gutters are fabricated on-site using a portable mill — custom-cut to your exact roofline.
Old gutters are removed, fascia is inspected and repaired if needed, and new gutters are installed with proper pitch for drainage.
Water test confirms proper flow. Workmanship warranty documentation is provided.
If you've owned a home in Alaska for more than a few winters, you know what ice dams can do. Heat loss through poorly insulated attics melts snow on the upper roof, which refreezes at the cold eaves and forces water back under shingles. Most premature roof failures in Alaska come from ventilation and insulation issues — not the shingles themselves.
For Alaska homes, the priority is a roof system that handles cold-weather conditions: proper ice-and-water shield in the eaves, balanced attic ventilation to prevent ice dams, and shingles rated for sub-zero installation. Architectural asphalt is the most common choice. Metal roofing is excellent for snow shedding but requires snow guards above entrances to prevent slides.
Pricing for a Alaska roof replacement depends heavily on tear-off complexity, decking condition, and ventilation upgrades. Many older Alaska homes have one or two old shingle layers that must be removed (adding $1,000–$2,500), and some need decking repair or replacement once the old roof is off. Build flexibility into your budget.
Alaska building code requires a permit for all roof replacements and most repairs over a certain dollar threshold. Cold-weather code requirements include ice-and-water shield in the bottom 24 inches of eaves, proper attic ventilation, and snow-load engineering on heavier-accumulation areas. Your contractor handles permitting; verify the permit number before work starts.
