Gutter installation & repair in Salt Lake City and Utah County
Seamless and sectional gutters, downspouts, guards, and repairs — sized, pitched, and fastened for Utah snow, canyon wind, and summer cloudbursts. Grandview installs and repairs gutter systems across the Wasatch Front under a licensed and insured B100 general contractor.
Why gutters are foundation work in disguise
A gutter’s real job isn’t keeping drips off your porch. It’s collecting every gallon that lands on your roof and putting it somewhere your foundation never sees it. Along the Wasatch Front, that job matters more than most homeowners realize: expansive clay swells when it gets wet and lifts whatever sits on it, while collapsible bench soils compress when they finally saturate. The Utah Geological Survey maps both across the valleys we work in. Either way, the cheapest foundation protection you can buy is a gutter system that actually carries water away from the house.
This category page covers the full gutter scope — new installation, replacement, downspouts and extensions, guards, repair, and specialty systems for commercial and higher-end residential work. If your gutters overflow in a storm, pull away from the fascia under snow, or dump water beside the foundation, one of the pages below is the right place to start. If you’re not sure which, call us and describe what you’re seeing. That’s usually faster.
Gutter work also pairs naturally with bigger envelope projects. We often replace gutters as part of roof replacement, new siding, or a waterproofing scope — one mobilization, one contract, matched flashing details all the way around.
Eight gutter services, from seamless runs to full re-hangs
Seamless gutters
Continuous aluminum runs formed on site to the exact length of your fascia — fewer joints, fewer leaks, cleaner lines.
ExploreSectional gutters
Sectioned systems installed and sealed correctly — a practical fit for phased work, tight budgets, and partial replacements.
ExploreK-style & half-round gutters
Profile selection that matches your roofline and water volume — K-style for capacity, half-round for older and traditional homes.
ExploreDownspout installation & extensions
Downspouts placed and extended so roof water discharges well away from the foundation, not beside it.
ExploreGutter guards & leaf protection
Guard systems matched to your trees and roof pitch, so cleaning becomes occasional instead of seasonal.
ExploreGutter repair & re-hanging
Sagging runs, separated seams, and snow-damaged hangers — re-pitched, re-fastened, and resealed rather than replaced when repair makes sense.
ExploreCopper & specialty gutters
Copper, steel, and custom-profile systems for architectural homes and restorations where the gutter is part of the design.
ExploreCommercial & box gutters
High-capacity box gutters and commercial drainage for flat and low-slope buildings, sized to the roof area they serve.
ExploreSized for the roof, fastened for the weather
- Walk the roofline. We measure roof area per drainage plane, check fascia condition, and look at where water goes now — including the stains and settlement that show where it’s been going wrong.
- Size the system. Gutter profile, downspout count, and placement are calculated from roof area and pitch, not copied from the last house. A summer monsoon cell can drop an inch of rain in under an hour here; undersized downspouts overflow exactly when it matters.
- Fasten for the load. Hidden hangers into solid fascia at tight spacing. Snow and ice sliding off a valley-floor roof is heavy; on bench lots it’s heavier, and canyon-wind gusts will find any run that’s loosely attached.
- Handle the discharge. Every downspout gets a plan — extensions, splash blocks, or tie-ins to drains — so water ends up past the backfill zone, away from the foundation.
- Test and tidy. We check pitch with water, not eyeballs, seal every termination, and haul off the old material. You get a system you can ignore for years, which is the point.
What do new gutters cost in Utah?
For a typical single-family home, seamless aluminum gutters and downspouts usually land in the $1,500–$4,000 range depending on linear footage, stories, and downspout count. Guards, copper, steep or complex rooflines, and fascia repair move the number up; simple single-story runs move it down. Those are ballpark planning numbers — you’ll get a firm estimate after we measure the actual roofline.
The bigger cost question is the one nobody prices: what water does when gutters fail. Ice at the eaves during Utah’s hundred-plus freeze–thaw days a year pries seams apart, and once water starts landing next to the house, expansive clay does the rest. A few hundred dollars of downspout extensions is routinely the cheapest fix we recommend on foundation calls. Our B100 license is verifiable at dopl.utah.gov, and the estimate costs you nothing but a walk around the house.
Questions we actually get
Should I replace gutters when I replace my roof?
Usually, yes. Drip edge, underlayment, and gutter flashing all interlock at the eave, so doing both at once gets the details right and saves a second mobilization. If your gutters are under ten years old and properly pitched, we’ll tell you to keep them — we price the roof either way.
Are gutter guards worth it along the Wasatch Front?
If you have mature trees within about fifty feet, generally yes — guards turn twice-yearly ladder work into an occasional rinse. On homes with no tree cover, they’re harder to justify. Guard type matters too: some handle our heavy spring snowmelt better than others, and we’ll match the product to your roof rather than sell one brand.
How far should downspouts discharge from my foundation?
At least four to six feet past the house, and farther on lots with expansive clay or poor grading. Water dumped at the foundation wall soaks the backfill zone, which is exactly where soil movement does damage. Extensions, buried drain lines, or tie-ins to a yard drain all work — the right choice depends on your grade.
Can gutters be installed in winter in Utah?
Yes. Aluminum gutter installation isn’t weather-limited the way concrete or exterior painting is — we install year-round, working around storms and ice on the roof edge. Sealants need reasonable temperatures to cure, so on cold snaps we may sequence terminations for the warmest part of the day.
Where this work usually leads
Gutters are one piece of the building envelope. The rest of the shell — excavation, foundations, roofing, siding, and drainage — lives under site, structure & envelope services. If water has already gotten past your gutters, start with waterproofing; if the fascia behind them is failing, that’s often a roofing conversation too.
