Gutters are the unglamorous part of the roof system, but they do most of the day-to-day work. A great roof with bad gutters destroys siding, basements, foundations, and landscaping. A modest roof with proper gutters protects the home for decades.
Aqua-Tek Roofing installs seamless gutter systems, soffit and fascia, and complete drainage packages across Pennsylvania. Often we do this work as part of a full roof project — but we also install gutters as a standalone service.
What we install
Seamless aluminum gutters
The standard for residential and most commercial applications. We form gutters on site to the exact length needed for your home, eliminating most seams and most failure points. Available in K-style (the standard look) and half-round (a more traditional aesthetic) profiles. Standard sizes 5-inch and 6-inch — the 6-inch handles heavy Pennsylvania storm runoff better and we recommend it on most homes with significant roof area.
Color matching
Aluminum gutters come in a wide range of factory-baked colors. We help you select a color that complements the trim, fascia, or roof — whether you want the gutters to disappear visually or stand out as a design element.
Downspouts
We install downspouts in standard or oversized profiles, properly anchored to the wall, with extensions, splash blocks, or buried drain tile to direct water away from the foundation. Underground drain runs available for properties where water management matters.
Soffit and fascia
The soffit (the underside of the roof overhang) and fascia (the vertical board behind the gutter) protect the roof structure and provide attic ventilation. We install vinyl, aluminum, or wood soffit and fascia, including ventilated soffit for proper attic airflow.
Gutter guards / leaf protection
Available in multiple systems — micro-mesh, surface tension, and screen guards. Each has trade-offs in cost, debris handling, and snow performance. We can recommend what’s appropriate for your property and the trees around it.
Why proper gutters matter in Pennsylvania
- Snow and ice management — Heavy snow loads stress gutters that aren’t properly sized, hung, or anchored. Ice damming is a recurring problem in PA winters; proper gutter design and attic insulation work together to control it.
- Foundation protection — A 1,500 square foot roof can shed thousands of gallons of water during a single storm. Without gutters routing that water away, the foundation absorbs the impact.
- Siding and trim protection — Water cascading off an unguttered roof rots siding, soffit, fascia, and trim within years.
- Landscaping and erosion — Storm runoff against the foundation kills plantings and erodes grade.
Common signs your gutters need attention
- Water spilling over the edge during storms (gutters undersized or clogged)
- Gutters pulling away from the house (fastener failure or rotted fascia behind)
- Visible rust, corrosion, or holes
- Water staining on siding below the gutter
- Sagging sections, especially after winters
- Rotted soffit or fascia (often the underlying cause of gutter problems)
- Basement leaks that started or worsened in recent years
When we replace gutters, we often discover that the fascia behind has rotted from years of overflow. That fascia repair is a common companion to gutter replacement.
Pricing
Gutter pricing depends on the home’s perimeter, gutter size, downspout count, color, and any necessary fascia repair. Approximate ranges:
- Standard 5-inch K-style aluminum, 100 to 200 linear feet: typically $1,200 to $2,800 installed.
- 6-inch oversized aluminum: typically $1,800 to $4,000 installed.
- Full gutters with fascia replacement and gutter guards: priced based on specifics.
