Seamless Gutters That Keep Up Under Upper Arlington’s Tree Canopy
Upper Arlington’s mature tree canopy near Ohio State is the reason the neighborhood is beautiful, and the reason open gutters clog by mid-fall. Add the steep roofs on the older colonials and Tudors and water comes down fast and heavy. Our own licensed crews size seamless gutters to that load and guard them against the leaves. Veteran-owned, fully licensed, and we never hand your home to unlicensed subcontractors.

We Start With the Truth
Upper Arlington’s Heavy Canopy and Steep Roofs Overwhelm Undersized Gutters
The established Upper Arlington streets are shaded by decades-old oaks and maples, and every one of those leaves that lands on a steep colonial or Tudor roof washes straight into the gutter. Open troughs pack solid within a season, then a hard rain sheets off the steep pitch and pours over a blocked gutter onto the walls and foundation. On older homes the original gutters are also narrow and hung on aging fascia. We size the gutter to the steep-roof runoff, guard it against the canopy, and repair the fascia it hangs on.
What We Do
What Our Upper Arlington Gutter Work Covers
Seamless Gutters
We form continuous aluminum gutter sized for the fast runoff coming off the steep colonial and Tudor roofs common in the neighborhood.
Downspouts and Drainage
Steep roofs deliver water quickly, so we add downspout capacity and route the discharge well clear of older basement walls.
Fascia and Soffit Repair
The original fascia on older UA homes is often soft where old gutters leaked. We repair the wood before we hang the new system so it holds for years.
On the Ground in Upper Arlington
Mature Trees, Steep Roofs, Short Runs
Old Arlington and the streets near Tremont and Redding carry 1920s Tudor revivals, stone colonials and Craftsman houses, most of them steep and cut up. The post war ranches east and west are simpler. All of it sits under a heavy tree canopy near Ohio State.
We work throughout 43221 and 43220. The combination of constant leaf load and fast delivery off a steep roof is what makes gutters here work harder than their length suggests.

Where the Water Goes
What Decides a Gutter Job on an Upper Arlington Home
Heavy canopy over steep, complicated roofs. These four decide the work.
Leaf Load Is Constant, Not Seasonal
Under mature trees debris arrives all year, not just in October. Guard choice and access for occasional clearing matter more here than in an open subdivision.
Valleys Concentrate Several Planes at Once
On a cut up 1920s roof a valley delivers water from multiple directions into one short stretch of gutter. That point needs an outlet, not just capacity.
Fall Across a Complicated Eave
These houses rarely offer one straight run. Setting correct fall across stepped and interrupted eaves is fiddly, and getting it wrong is why some gutters never drain properly.
Hanger Spacing on Old Fascia
Original fascia timber is not always sound, and hangers spaced for new construction can pull out. Fixing spacing to what the timber will actually hold is part of a proper installation.
Materials
Gutters Sized for Steep, Tree-Shaded Upper Arlington Roofs
A gutter on a steep, tree-shaded Upper Arlington roof has to carry fast water and stay clear of constant debris. As a roofing contractor we build the whole path, from the steep shingle edge through a guarded, properly pitched gutter to a downspout that releases the water away from an older foundation, so it works in a hard rain and not just on paper.

Questions, Answered
Gutters in Upper Arlington: Common Questions
Under that kind of canopy, a quality gutter guard is what keeps the runs flowing. It blocks the leaves and helicopter seeds while letting the water through, so you trade twice-a-year clean-outs for the occasional rinse. We fit the guard to the leaf load on your specific street.
A steep roof delivers water to the gutter fast, and if the gutter or downspouts are undersized it simply cannot carry it away in time. We size the gutter and add downspout capacity so the system keeps up with the runoff from a steep pitch.
Yes. On older Upper Arlington homes the fascia is often rotted where the previous gutters leaked. We repair or replace that wood before hanging the new gutter, otherwise the new system is bolted to something that cannot hold it.
Clogged, overflowing gutters trap water and ice at the eave, which feeds the ice damming that Ohio freeze-thaw winters cause. Clear, well-drained gutters are part of keeping the eave from icing up, along with good attic ventilation.
No. Your gutters are installed by our own licensed, in-house crews, the same people who work on our roofs. We never hand your home to unlicensed subcontractors.
