Gutter Repair
Gutter Repair in Lakewood, CO Done Right the First Time
A gutter that sags, leaks at a seam, or dumps water at the foundation is a small problem with a large blast radius: rotted fascia, stained siding, and a wet basement wall. Most gutter repairs are straightforward — re-pitch a run, reseal a joint, replace a hanger, swap a downspout — but only if the fascia behind the gutter is sound. Call (720) 817-3348 and we will tell you honestly whether a repair will hold or whether the gutter needs replacing.
Service overview
What Gutter Repair in Lakewood Actually Involves
A gutter repair starts with the fascia and the pitch. We check the fascia by hand for rot, because a repair hung on soft fascia will fail again within a season. Then we check the pitch with a level and a string line: a run that sags in the middle holds water, and standing water is what rots the fascia and pulls the gutter off the house. The repair itself is usually one of four things: the run is re-pitched, a leaking joint is cleaned and resealed, failed hangers are replaced with hidden hangers, or a damaged downspout is swapped out.
Not every gutter is a repair candidate. If the fascia is rotted along the whole run, if the gutter is undersized for the roof area feeding it, or if sectional joints are leaking along the entire length, a repair buys a season and the problem comes back. In that case we say so and point you to a full gutter installation with seamless runs instead. This is roofing-adjacent work. We install and repair gutters and downspouts; gutter cleaning is a job for another crew.
Practical benefits
Why a Targeted Gutter Repair Beats Another Sealant Smear
Gutter repairs fail when the cause is missed. Here is what a proper one looks like.
The Pitch Gets Fixed, Not Just the Leak
A joint that leaks because the run sags will leak again. We re-pitch the run so water moves to the downspout, then reseal the joint.
Hangers Replaced, Not Re-Nailed
Spikes work loose and sag. Failed hangers are replaced with hidden hangers screwed into sound fascia, so the gutter stays where it belongs.
Joints Cleaned Before Resealing
Old sealant is removed before new sealant goes on. Layering new sealant over cracked sealant is the most common failed gutter repair we see.
An Honest Repair-or-Replace Call
If the gutter is undersized or the fascia is gone along the whole run, we say so. A repair on a gutter that needs replacing wastes your money.
How service works
What to Expect During Your Gutter Repair
Most gutter repairs are done in a visit. Here is the sequence.
STEP 01
Roofline Inspection
We check the fascia by hand, the pitch with a level, and every joint and downspout, photographing what we find so you can see the failure.
Tools and methods
Tools and Methods We Use on Every Gutter Repair
Level and string line
The pitch is checked with a level and string line, so rain runs to the downspout instead of standing mid-run.
Hidden hangers
Failed spikes and hangers are replaced with hidden hangers screwed into sound fascia, so the gutter stays put.
Sealant rated for gutters
Sealant rated for gutters stays flexible through freeze-thaw instead of cracking the first winter.
Downspout crimper
A replacement downspout is crimped in clean, so water runs through without catching at the joint.
Fascia repair
Soft fascia comes off and is replaced before the gutter goes back on, because a repair hung on soft fascia will sag again.
Drip edge check
The drip edge is checked to make sure it still carries roof water into the gutter, not behind it.
Outlet and end cap sealant
Corners, outlets, and end caps are resealed where the gutter still has a joint, so the repair holds through freeze-thaw.
Hacksaw and snips
Cuts replacement sections cleanly so the joints line up.
Safety harness and ladder stabilizer
Keeps the crew secure on two-story homes and steep roof lines.
Magnetic sweep cleanup
Before we leave, the yard and driveway are swept for screws, hangers, and metal offcuts.
Where this service fits
When a Gutter Repair Is the Right Call
One joint leaks every time it rains
A single failed joint is a repair. We clean it, reseal it, and check the pitch around it so the water is not pooling there.
A run sags in the middle
A sagging run holds water and rots the fascia. Re-pitching it and replacing the failed hangers fixes the sag at its source.
A downspout is crushed or disconnected
A damaged downspout dumps water at the foundation. Swapping it out and adding an extension moves the water clear of the house.
Hail dented a section but the gutter still drains
A dented section can be replaced without redoing the whole run, as long as the fascia behind it is sound and the pitch is right.

How Gutter Repair Works in Lakewood
A gutter repair starts with a diagnosis, not a sealant gun. The usual suspects are a failed joint, a run that has lost its pitch, hangers that have pulled out of soft fascia, or a downspout crushed at the base. Each one has a different fix, and each one has a point where the repair will not hold: fascia rotted along the whole run, or a gutter undersized for the roof feeding it. The repair we write names which one it is, and when the answer is replacement instead.
Gutter trouble shows up differently by area — tree cover, slope, and roof age all play a part. Our locations page has the seven areas.
Problems we solve
Roof Problems a Gutter Repair Solves
These are the problems where a repair is usually the right answer — and where we will tell you if it is not.
A joint that leaks in every storm
A failed joint is a repair: clean it, reseal it, and check the pitch so water is not pooling there. If every joint leaks, the gutter is done and needs replacing.
Water pouring over the edge
Overflow usually means a sagging run or a blocked downspout. Re-pitching the run and clearing the downspout fixes it without replacing the gutter.
A downspout dumping water at the foundation
A disconnected or crushed downspout is a quick repair, and an extension moves the water clear of the house and the basement wall.
Ice dams at the eaves
Gutters do not cause ice dams, but a sagging gutter holding standing water makes them worse. Once the run is re-pitched and draining again, with balanced ventilation, the eaves stay clear. See ourventilation and ice dam page for the full picture.

Why Our Crews Get Gutter Repairs Right
A gutter repair is only as good as its diagnosis: the pitch, the hangers, and the fascia behind the gutter. There is no state roofing licence in Colorado. Lakewood registers its roofing contractors with the City as Class 5h, Roofing and Waterproofing. We check the fascia by hand, set the pitch with a level, and water-test every repaired run before we leave. If a repair will not hold, we say so and explain why.

Notes from local customers
What Lakewood Homeowners Say
We had several roofing contractors inspect our roof after a recent hail storm. Keith was the most professional and knowledgeable of them all. He worked well with our insurance company, was there for the insurance adjuster's visit to our home, and his friendly crew replaced our roof in one day! They did a thorough cleanup afterward. Keith also noticed a hail damaged gutter that needed replacing and took care of that also. He also replaced four hail damaged window screens at no charge. We would highly recommend Roof Authority LLC to anybody needing a hail damaged roof repaired or replaced!
Shortly after a horrible hail storm, Keith from Roof Authority LLC provided a free inspection of our roof and suggested replacement of the roof and gutters, as well as replacement of one window screen. He worked with the insurance company and ushered through the claims' submission. On the scheduled day, the crew replaced the entire roof and gutters in one day! After completion of the project, Keith inspected the job and discovered one missing shingle which he replaced the same day also. Overall, working with Roof Authority has been very positive. We have recommended Roof Authority, LLC to our friends. Thank you Keith!
A gutter repair is priced by the job, not by the foot: the length of the run, the number of joints and hangers, and the fascia underneath all set the number. We do not publish prices for gutter work. The written scope comes before the price, so you know what the repair covers.
A sagging run can usually be re-pitched and re-hung with hidden hangers, as long as the fascia behind it is sound. If the fascia is rotted along the whole run or the gutter is undersized for the roof, a repair will not hold and we will recommend replacement instead.
No — cleaning is not a service we offer. We repair gutters and downspouts, and a repair starts with seeing the pitch and the fascia. Clear the debris out before we visit, so the inspection shows what the gutter is actually doing.
Because the joint was sealed over a sagging run or over old sealant. Water pools at the low spot and works through the seal. We re-pitch the run, remove the old sealant, and reseal the joint, so the water moves past it instead of sitting on it.
