Before Install Day: Measuring and Choosing
During the free estimate, we measure every eave and look at how each part of the roof drains. Then we recommend:
- Gutter size: 5-inch for typical roofs, 6-inch for large or steep roof sections
- Downspout count and size: enough outlets so no corner overflows
- Color: factory-finished aluminum to match or contrast with your trim
- Guards, if trees overhang the roof
You'll get a written estimate that lists each item.
What Happens on Install Day
- We take down and haul away the old gutters and check the fascia behind them.
- We replace any soft fascia boards and add drip edge where it's missing.
- Our crew runs coil through a gutter machine on site, forming seamless gutters to the exact length of each run.
- We hang each run on hidden hangers with a slight pitch toward the outlets.
- We seal the corners and outlets, attach the downspouts and point them away from the foundation.
- We install guards if they're included, run water through the system to test it and clean up.
Most homes are finished in one day.
Gutter Guards for Oxford's Tree Cover
Many Oxford neighborhoods have big oaks and pines over the roof. Without protection, those gutters can fill up in a single season. We install rigid mesh gutter guards that keep out leaves and needles while heavy rain still flows through. See our comparison of guards for pine and oak trees.
Repairs and Cleaning
If you don't need a whole new system, we also reseal leaking corners, rehang sagging runs, replace dented sections and clear blocked downspouts. Our Oxford gutter repair page goes into more detail on repairs and storm-related gutter damage.

Common Questions
How often should gutters be cleaned in Oxford?
At least in spring and late fall. Homes under mature oaks or pines often need more frequent cleaning, which is why many Oxford homeowners add guards.
What are the benefits of seamless gutters?
Each run is one continuous piece, so there are far fewer joints to leak. They look neater, keep their shape over long runs and need less upkeep.
Do you install gutter guard systems?
Yes. We install rigid mesh guards over new or existing gutters, as long as the gutters underneath are sound and properly pitched.
How long does gutter installation take?
Most Oxford homes are done in one day. Fascia repairs or a large multi-story home can add time.
Can Tekton Exteriors repair my gutters instead of replacing them?
Yes. If the system is otherwise in good shape, we'll repair leaks, sagging sections and downspouts. We'll be clear about whether repair or replacement is the better value.
