Sullivan straddles the Franklin and Crawford County line right on Interstate 44, and the gutters on a Sullivan home earn their keep every storm season. One eastern Missouri thunderstorm rolling up the 44 corridor can drop an inch of rain in well under an hour, and a roof with a clogged or pulled-loose gutter sends every bit of it straight down against the foundation. On the older homes near the historic downtown and the Meramec Caverns side of town, that water has been working at soft fascia for years before anyone notices the stain on the soffit. When a Sullivan homeowner finally calls us, the leak almost always traces back to a gutter that rusted through or rotted the board behind it a long time ago.

We are a roofing company first, started by Matt Emmendorfer in 1990, and we added gutters because storm customers wanted one family crew to fix everything the hail tore up rather than three trucks on three days. That matters in Sullivan, where the federally declared March 2025 storms drove large hail and damaging winds across eastern Missouri and tore up roofs, gutters, and siding together. Our crews run a portable seamless machine right to your driveway and roll each gutter from one continuous coil of aluminum, cut to the exact length of the roofline. That is a real seamless gutter, not the pre-cut sectioned lengths a big-box store sells you to snap together yourself, where every joint becomes a future leak.

How it works

What our gutters includes in Sullivan

A gutter job done right starts behind the gutter, not at it. Here is what happens once you approve the estimate.

  1. Inspect the fascia and gutter boards first

    Before a single foot of gutter goes up, we check the wood it hangs on. Old gutters that held water for years usually leave soft or rotten fascia and gutter boards behind them. We show you what we find and replace the bad wood, because new gutter screwed into rotten board pulls right back off in the next storm.

  2. Measure every roofline on-site

    We measure each run of your roof to the inch, then size the system. Most Franklin County homes get 5-inch K-style gutter, but steeper or larger roofs that shed a lot of water fast get 6-inch with oversized downspouts so a hard Missouri downpour does not overshoot the trough.

  3. Roll your gutters seamless from one coil

    Our machine forms each gutter from a continuous coil of aluminum, cut to the exact length of the run. One unbroken piece per roofline means no mid-run seams to leak, the single biggest failure point on sectioned store-bought gutter. You pick the color and we color-match it to your roof and siding.

  4. Hang, pitch, and seal the system

    We hang the gutters with hidden hangers, pitch them so water actually runs to the downspouts instead of pooling, and seal every corner and end cap. Downspouts get placed to carry water away from the foundation, not dump it at the corner of the house where it soaks back in.

  5. Clean to no footprint

    We haul off every scrap of old gutter and magnet-sweep for fallen screws. Customers tell us our cleanup is our signature. We want to get in, do the work, and get out without leaving a footprint in your yard or your gutters full of our debris.

Local angle

Sullivan's housing runs from tight older rooflines downtown to the larger subdivision and rural acreage roofs spread out toward the lake and along the county line, and those big roofs shed a lot of water fast. That is exactly where 5-inch gutter overshoots in a hard Missouri downpour and 6-inch with oversized downspouts earns its place. The other Sullivan factor is the freeze-thaw winter that follows hail season, expanding and contracting cheap sectioned gutter until the seams split. Because our shop is a straight run up I-44 in Union, we can be on a leaking or storm-torn Sullivan gutter the same day, check the fascia underneath before we hang anything, and on a storm claim Tom Emmendorfer documents the gutter damage right alongside the roof so it goes on the record in one trip.

FAQ

Gutters in Sullivan: questions

Seamless aluminum gutters typically run about $6 to $13 per linear foot installed in this market, so an average Sullivan home with 150 to 200 feet of gutter lands roughly in the $1,200 to $2,600 range. Rotten fascia replacement, a 6-inch upgrade for a big roof, and leaf guards add to that. We measure your actual rooflines and hand you a real written number before any work starts.
We genuinely serve Sullivan. It is a straight twenty-minute run down I-44 from our shop in Union, and the family has roofed this part of Missouri since 1990. We are not a St. Louis metro outfit that found Sullivan on a map after the March 2025 hail. The same family that measures your gutters is on the truck that installs them.
Often yes, when hail or wind caused the damage. Sullivan took large hail and damaging winds in the March 2025 storms, and that weather bent and tore gutters as well as roofs. Tom Emmendorfer documents the gutter damage with the roof and siding, files the claim, and meets your adjuster on site. Under Missouri law no contractor can pay or waive your deductible, so be wary of anyone in Sullivan who offers to.
Yes, and we check it before we hang a single foot of new gutter. Old gutters that held water for years usually leave soft or rotten fascia and gutter boards behind them. We replace the bad wood, wrap the fascia in aluminum trim coil so it never needs painting, then hang the new gutter on sound board. New gutter screwed to rotten wood pulls right back off in the next storm.
Six-inch gutter moves roughly 40 percent more water than standard 5-inch. Smaller older homes near downtown Sullivan usually do fine on 5-inch, but the larger subdivision and acreage roofs out toward the lake shed water fast and often need 6-inch with oversized 3x4 downspouts so a hard rain does not overshoot the trough. We size the system to your actual roof, not a one-price package.
Yes. Sullivan's older neighborhoods and rural lots carry heavy oak and maple cover that fills troughs every fall. A gutter guard ends the twice-a-year ladder routine and keeps water flowing during the storms that matter. They are not right for every roof, so we look at your tree line and pitch and tell you honestly whether they pay off on your house.
