Gutter Repair
Sagging, leaking, damaged, or just not draining right? We diagnose the root cause and deliver lasting repairs across Catawba, Caldwell & Alexander Counties.
Most gutter problems start small — a slight sag, a tiny leak, a downspout that doesn't quite reach where it should. Left alone, they become big problems: rotten fascia boards, water in the basement, eroded landscaping, foundation damage. The good news: most gutter issues are very fixable when they're caught in time.
At Foothills Gutter Pro, we offer focused gutter repair services across Catawba, Caldwell, and Alexander Counties. We diagnose the underlying cause — not just the visible symptom — and we'll tell you honestly when a repair makes sense versus when it's time to talk about full replacement. No upselling, no fear tactics.
Common Gutter Problems We Fix
- Sagging gutters — pulling away from fascia or hanging at improper pitch
- Leaks at seams, end caps, or corners — sealant failure or improper joint
- Loose or missing hangers — every 24 inches is the rule, not the exception
- Damaged or dented sections — from ladders, branches, or weather
- Improper pitch — water pooling instead of flowing to downspouts
- Downspout problems — disconnected, misaligned, undersized, or missing splash blocks
- Rotten fascia behind gutters — visible rot or soft spots when checked
- Ice damage — bent or torn sections from winter freeze events
How a Gutter Repair Visit Works
When you call us about a gutter problem, we schedule a free on-site assessment. A crew lead inspects your gutters from the ladder, identifies what's actually wrong (often more than one issue), and gives you a written estimate covering only what truly needs fixing. If the system is past its useful life, we'll tell you — and we'll show you why a replacement makes more financial sense than chasing repairs.
Repair vs. Replace — How We Decide
A general guideline: if your gutters are under 10 years old and the issues are localized (one sagging section, one leaky corner, one bent run), repair is almost always the right call. If your gutters are 15+ years old, have multiple sagging runs, visible separation from the fascia, rusting on steel gutters, or rot behind the gutters — replacement usually makes more financial sense. We'll be straight with you either way.
Fast Turnaround
Most repair jobs scheduled within the same week. Smaller fixes can often be completed during the same visit as the assessment.
Honest Diagnosis
We'll tell you when a repair makes sense — and when it doesn't. No upselling, no scare tactics, no surprise add-ons after the work starts.
Workmanship Warranty
All repair work is backed by a workmanship warranty. If something we fixed fails, we come back and make it right.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does gutter repair cost?
Most localized gutter repairs fall in the $150–$600 range, depending on the issue. Re-pitching a sagging run, sealing a leaky seam, or replacing a damaged section are typically on the lower end. Replacing multiple hangers, fascia repair, or replacing a long damaged section will be higher. We provide a free written quote before any work begins.
Can you repair gutters I didn't install?
Absolutely. Most of our repair calls are on gutters originally installed by someone else. We're happy to assess and repair any aluminum gutter system regardless of who installed it.
How quickly can you come out?
Most repair assessments scheduled within 2–5 business days. For active leaks causing damage, we prioritize same-week or next-day visits whenever possible. Call (828) 709-5580 if it's urgent.
My gutters are pulling away from the house. Is it bad?
It depends on what's behind the gutter. Sometimes it's just hanger failure (an easy fix). Sometimes the fascia board behind the gutter has rotted, which means the gutter has nothing solid to attach to — that's a bigger fix. We'll inspect and tell you which situation you're in.
Should I just buy a new system instead of repairing?
Not necessarily. If your gutters are under 10 years old and the issues are localized, repair is usually far cheaper and works fine. If they're 15+ years old with multiple problems or rot behind them, replacement usually makes more financial sense long-term. We'll give you our honest read.
Do you do emergency gutter repairs?
We don't operate 24/7, but we do prioritize urgent situations like active leaks during a rain event or storm-damaged sections. Call us — if we can get a crew out same-day or next-day, we will.
