Tracing a Problem Back to Its Source
We start where the water starts, because exterior water damage usually begins above the spot where it shows. If a gutter overflows, rain lands on the siding below it, gets behind the bottom edge of the panels and stains the trim. If you replace only the siding, the problem comes back. If you replace only the gutter, the soaked sheathing behind the panels keeps rotting. On every inspection we look at the gutter above any damaged area before we decide what needs to be replaced.
Warning Signs on the Gutter Side
- Water spilling over the front edge during a hard rain
- Drips or rust stains at the seams and corners
- Gutters pulling away from the fascia
- Washed-out soil or mulch beneath the downspouts
- Plants growing in the gutter trough
Sectional gutters that leak at every joint are usually best replaced with seamless gutters. Our seamless vs. sectional comparison explains why.
Warning Signs on the Siding Side
- Panels that are warped, buckled or loose
- Soft spots when you press on the wall
- Mildew that comes back right after you clean it
- Peeling paint inside on the walls behind a problem area
- Cracks or holes from hail or flying debris
If the damage is limited to a few panels, it can usually be repaired. If several walls show the same problems, siding replacement is often the better long-term choice.
What Affects the Price
We don't give a price until we've measured and inspected, because these factors change the number:
- Linear feet of gutter and the number of downspouts
- Siding square footage and the material you pick
- Rotted sheathing or trim we find during tear-off
- Roof height, steepness and access
- Whether a storm insurance claim covers part of the work
You'll get an itemized estimate, so you can see where the money goes.

Common Questions
What sets your gutter and siding service apart in Flora?
We find the source of the water before recommending a fix, and the same crew can handle gutters, siding and trim. That way you're not paying for a repair that fails again because the cause was somewhere else.
How can I tell if I need new gutters, new siding or both?
Overflow, leaking seams and sagging point to the gutters. Warped panels, soft walls and recurring mildew point to the siding. When both appear in the same spot, the gutter is usually what caused the siding damage.
What does gutter or siding work cost?
It depends on the size of the house, the materials you choose, hidden rot and access. We give a free itemized estimate after measuring, so you're not working from a guess.
How long does the work take?
Gutter installation usually takes a day. Siding repairs often take a day or two. A full siding replacement usually takes several working days depending on the size of the house and the weather.
Do your gutter and siding services include warranties?
Yes. Products come with manufacturer warranties, and we provide a workmanship warranty on the installation. We give you both in writing.
