The Job
The call came in after a wind storm dropped a tree onto the rear of the home. The damage to the gutter system was beyond repair — multiple sections crushed, fasteners ripped from the fascia, and downspouts torn clean off the wall. Before any new work could happen, the entire compromised run had to come down.
We removed the existing rear gutter system in full. While we were up there we also assessed the fascia for hidden damage — when a heavy limb hits gutters, it usually punches into the fascia board behind them too. Caught a couple of stress points and tightened things up before the new install.
What We Installed
Brand-new 5-inch seamless K-style gutters, custom-fit on-site for a precise finish along the rear roofline. Roll-formed in the driveway from a single continuous coil, so the only joints in the entire run are at the corners and end caps — and those are sealed with professional-grade gutter sealant.
New hidden hangers every 24 inches for maximum hold strength. Fresh downspouts routed properly to carry water away from the foundation rather than dumping it at the base of the wall. Every miter sealed. Every termination clean.
End result: a system that minimizes joints, dramatically reduces the chance of leaks, and quietly does its job even in the next big storm.
Why Full Replacement After Storm Damage
When a tree or heavy limb hits a gutter system, the damage you can see is rarely the only damage. Hangers loosen along the entire run from the impact force. Joints separate microscopically. Brackets bend in ways that don't show until they fail under the next ice load. Trying to patch a storm-damaged system is almost always throwing good money after bad.
A full replacement after impact damage gives the homeowner a clean slate — and in most cases, the homeowner's insurance covers a substantial portion of the cost. We document everything thoroughly for adjusters and have walked plenty of clients through the claims process.
Property left clean. New system functioning perfectly. Onto the next call.

Storm Response Across Central NJ
We work the corridor from Monmouth County out through Middlesex and Mercer, and storm damage doesn't follow town boundaries — it follows whichever neighborhood the wind happened to find that night. After every major storm we run emergency calls across the region, prioritizing active leaks and exposed fascia first.
If a storm took out part of your gutter system, don't wait. Open fascia and missing downspouts let water run into siding, foundations, and basements — and the next rain will compound the damage fast. Call us at (908) 242-6056 and we'll get you on the schedule the same week.
