What to Send First

Photos help confirm project fit and route the practical next step. They are not a final diagnosis, engineering opinion, complete scope, or binding price.

  • One wide photo showing the full gutter run and roof edge
  • Close-up of the leak, seam, end cap, sag, separation, rust, or damage
  • Photo of the outlet and top of the downspout
  • Photo of the downspout route and ground-level discharge point
  • Photo of staining, peeling paint, damaged wood, stucco, erosion, or ponding below
  • Ground-level photo showing building height and access
  • Approximate length or tape-measure photo only when safely available
  • Short rain video only if you already have it and can record safely

Send Photos for Gutter Review

Send the property address, one wide photo of the gutter run, close-ups of the problem, the downspout and discharge point, and any staining or damage below. Detailed measurements, repair mapping, and a written bid package may require the $250 evaluation fee.

Do not climb onto a roof or unsafe ladder only to take photos. Send what can be photographed safely from the ground, a window, balcony, or existing safe access point.

What We Review

Repair review starts with the gutter run, pitch, outlet, downspout, discharge, hanger attachment, fascia condition, roof edge, and visible staining or finish damage below.

  • Leaking seams, end caps, miters, outlets, and fasteners
  • Sagging, pulling away, low spots, and standing water
  • Rust, pinholes, separated sections, and incompatible patches
  • Water running behind the gutter or dumping against the building
  • Wood, fascia, stucco, or paint damage connected to overflow

Repair or Replacement Boundary

Localized repair can make sense when the problem is isolated, the remaining run is sound, the repair material is compatible, and the customer accepts the repair boundary. Replacement may be better when corrosion, pitch, attachment, or repeated leaks are widespread.

When Related Trades Matter

If the gutter has affected fascia, subfascia, rafter tails, soffit, stucco, siding, paint, roofing, waterproofing, drainage, or interior finishes, AWC can review the broader scope and coordinate appropriately licensed specialty subcontractors where required.

Photos to Send

Send one wide photo of the run, close-ups of the drip or damage, the outlet, downspout route, discharge point, stains below, and a ground-level access view. Do not climb onto a roof or unsafe ladder for website photos.

Practical Questions

Can you price a small gutter repair from photos?

Useful photos may be enough to confirm fit, discuss a rough range, or identify the next step for a small visible condition. Final scope and price depend on measurements, access, pitch, attachment, material, surrounding construction, discharge, and hidden conditions.

Why is water getting behind the gutter?

Water can get behind a gutter because of pitch, loose attachment, a back-edge condition, roof-edge transition, drip-edge detail, clogged outlet, overflow, or surrounding construction. The visible drip does not prove the full cause by itself.

Can a leaking seam be resealed?

Sometimes. A seam, miter, end cap, or outlet may be repairable when the metal is sound, the joint can be prepared, and the repair boundary is clear. Corrosion, movement, poor pitch, or repeated patching can make replacement a better path.

Can a sagging gutter be re-pitched?

A sagging run may be re-secured or re-pitched when the gutter, hangers, and fascia can support the correction. If attachment points or the run itself are failing, the scope may need repair or replacement instead.

Can you review mysterious water damage near gutters?

Yes. Photos can help start the review when staining, soft wood, stucco damage, interior water marks, or unexplained roof-edge damage may be connected to overflow, drainage, roof-edge details, or downspouts. Hidden conditions still require field review before a final scope.

What happens if hidden damage is found after removal?

The visible gutter condition may not show the full condition of the fascia, subfascia, rafter tails, roof edge, wall assembly, or drainage route. The approved proposal is based on visible conditions unless exploratory work is specifically included. Additional deterioration, water damage, code issues, access problems, or owner changes may require a written change order.
