Properly installed and functioning gutters are vital for the longevity of your Utah home. They play an important role in the drainage system of your roof and safely directing water away from the foundations.
If your home does not have a gutter system, or has rain gutters that are damaged, you can sustain damage to your roof, siding, fascia, soffit, and the very structure of your home. In order to avoid costly repairs to your home, it is important to get your gutters assessed by a professional if you suspect they may require repairs, replacement, or maintenance.
We offer free gutter and roof inspections at ReRoofIt to equip our Utah homeowners with the knowledge needed to make the best decision for their home. Give us a call today at (801) 907-5177 to schedule your complimentary inspection.

Rain Gutter Services We Offer
Gutter Repair: Repair services of your rain gutters are designed to maximize the utility and lifespan of the materials already on the home. This can include addressing corners, sagging, overflow, missing components, and other vital parts of your gutter system.
Gutter Maintenance: All gutter systems require maintenance to properly function over any extended period of time. Examples of maintenance can include new mastic or silicone at the seams, replacing or covering seals at screws and fasteners, installing additional clips for support, to name a few examples.
Gutter Adjustment: If your gutters are not sloped appropriately adjustment may be needed to allow for proper drainage. This can often be done with the same parts originally installed and are more cost effective than a full replacement.
Gutter Replacement/Installation: At ReRoofIt we offer full system replacement or installation options. We install rain gutter systems with the goal of both maintaining the integrity of the other systems of the home and setting our customers up with gutters that stand the test of time.
Gutter Guard Installation: Gutter guards are a great way to reduce maintenance needs by keeping debris from clogging the system. They also reduce the potential for damage from ice damming.
Heat Tape Installation: Keeping water moving off of the roof and out of the gutter system is critical to preventing damage and associated leaks.

As you consider what makes the most sense for your rain gutter system, the answers to commonly asked questions below may help.
Frequently Asked Questions
This depends on a variety of factors including the system, age, condition and any current damage. Repairs can be a good option up to a certain point, or it may make sense to replace certain damaged sections of your gutter system. A full gutter assessment is often needed to determine if your system is at the end of its life and requires a replacement or if there are repairs that can resolve the issues you’re experiencing.
Over time, gutters can sag and may eventually fall off without proper maintenance. This happens over time through exposure to the elements, which causes fasteners to loosen and eventually come out completely. Additional causes can involve improper install and lack of appropriate clips as well as standing water and ice damming.
No. Water dripping behind the gutters is not normal and there are three common causes to look for:
- Spikes or screws that are driven through the drip edge of the roofing system when the gutters are installed.
- Improper install of roofing system with ice and water underlayment placed underneath the drip edge.
- Gutter system not tucked underneath drip edge.
If the issues above are not identified and fixed your home will sustain damage over time.
None. If you have standing water in your gutter system, or any other part of your property, you have a problem. Standing water can lead to a range of issues such as rot, black mold, moss, ice damming, and more.
The short answer is: you will sustain damage to your property. The primary purpose of rain gutters is to drive water away from the home. If this isn’t happening then different parts of your home will experience damage over time including windows, stucco, paint, siding, soffit, fascia, etc. The worst case scenario involves damage to the very foundations of your home.

We shopped around for a roofing company. This company was straight forward and very prompt … More on all my questions. Great value and great quality product and installation. We are very happy with our choice to go through them. High quality work and great warranty. No hassle and I would choose them again if I ever had a house that needs a roof.

Joseph was great to work with! We had a leak in our aging roof and called ReRoofIt. Joseph … More came out the next day to seal up the leak and provide us a quote for a full roof replacement. Their quote was competitive and they were able to move us up on the schedule when they had an opening and replaced the entire roof two weeks after the initial leak. The crew was in and out in three days and did a great job. Joseph did a great job communicating throughout the process and provided before and after pictures.

Joseph came out to inspect the roof on a house I was looking to purchase. He showed up … More on time, explained to me what he was doing as he went around, took photos that were included in his report, and made sure to answer all my questions. He also took the time to call the manufacturer to confirm if something voided the manufacturer warranty (it did) and provided several estimates. I would recommend ReRoofIt if you need a roof inspection done.
