Seams and Corners Sealed
Leaking joints cleaned out and resealed, or the section replaced if it has split.
Water off the roof and away from the house. Leaks sealed, sagging runs set back to fall, and downspouts cleared, all priced in writing after a free look.
Gutters have one job: carry roof water past the fascia and away from the foundation. When they sag, leak or clog, that water goes where it does the most damage.
Big Easy Roofing Company repairs gutters and downspouts on homes across New Orleans: leaking seams and corners, sagging runs, loose hangers, blocked outlets, and downspouts that empty against the house.
If the fascia behind a gutter has rotted, the gutter cannot hold, so the board is replaced first as a fascia repair.
Leaking joints cleaned out and resealed, or the section replaced if it has split.
A gutter has to fall toward its outlet. Runs that hold standing water are set back to fall.
Downspouts extended or turned so the water lands clear of the foundation.
Most gutter problems show up in the rain. These are the ones worth watching for in the next storm.
Overflow in an ordinary rain means a clog, a gutter too small for the roof, or an outlet in the wrong place.
A downspout that ends against the house sends every storm into the foundation and the crawl space.
Green growth along a gutter or downspout means water sits there. It is blocked, and the weight pulls it loose.
A run that dips or leans off the fascia has lost hangers, or the wood behind them has gone soft.
Streaks on the siding and flaking paint under a gutter mean it leaks or overflows at that spot.
Water falling from a corner or a joint instead of the outlet is a failed seam.

Corners and joints are where sealant ages first. Cleaned out and resealed, or the corner piece replaced.
Loose or rusted hangers let a run belly out and hold water. New hangers at closer spacing, and the fall reset.
A clog at the elbow backs the whole gutter up. Cleared, flushed, and fitted with a wider outlet where needed.
Storm-dented or split lengths are cut out and replaced with the same profile.
If every seam leaks and the hangers are rusted through, patching costs more over a few years than new gutters. We say so, and quote both.
Most gutter repairs are small jobs. These five things decide how small.
Longer runs and second-story gutters take more time and more ladder work.
A resealed corner is quick. Resetting a whole run to fall takes longer.
If the board has rotted, it is replaced before the gutter can go back up.
Aluminum is simple to match. Copper and steel cost more to repair.
Years of silt and debris take longer to clear than one season of leaves.

Gutter quotes vary less in price than in what they actually fix.
Quote A is a made-up composite of shortcuts common in quick gutter visits. It is not a real quote, and no actual company is described.
Gutters overflowing in every storm? Photos taken during the rain help, if you can get them safely.
Talk to a roofer504-229-3955Usually. A seam that is cleaned, dried and resealed properly can last years. If the metal around it has corroded, that section is replaced.
The gutter may be too small for the roof above it, pitched the wrong way, or short of downspouts. Heavy Gulf Coast rain finds all three.
At least twice a year, and more often under oaks or pines. After a named storm, check them again.
They keep out leaves but not silt and roof granules, so guarded gutters still need the odd cleaning. We will tell you whether they suit your trees.
Yes. Overflow rots fascia and soffit, stains siding, and sends water into the foundation and crawl space.
Repair if the problems are local. Replace if most seams leak, the hangers are rusted through, or the gutter is too small. The estimate prices both so you can compare.
