Seamless Gutters in Union, MO
A gutter is the cheapest part of your Union home and the one that costs the most when it fails. Let a clogged or pulled-loose gutter run for a couple of seasons and the water it should be carrying goes somewhere worse, down the fascia, behind the siding, and into the soil packed against your foundation. On the older homes near the Franklin County courthouse and historic downtown Union, where original gutter boards have already weathered decades, that water finds soft wood fast. On the newer subdivisions out toward the edges of town, builder-grade sectioned gutter snapped together every ten feet starts leaking at the joints long before the roof above it is done. We see both, and we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
We have been based in Union since around 2003, so a gutter call here is a short drive to a family that knows this town's homes. Our crews run a portable seamless machine straight to your driveway off Highway 50 or Highway 47 and roll your gutter out of a single coil of aluminum, cut to the exact length of each roofline. That is the real difference between a true seamless gutter and the pre-cut lengths a big-box store hands you to assemble yourself, where every snap-together joint becomes a future leak. Before any of it goes up, we check the fascia and gutter board it hangs on, because new gutter screwed into rotten wood pulls right back off in the next Missouri downpour.
What our gutters includes in Union
A gutter job done right starts behind the gutter, not at it. Here is what happens once you approve the estimate.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Union sits in eastern Missouri's severe-storm corridor, and the weather here punishes gutters two ways across the year. A single summer thunderstorm rolling through Franklin County can drop an inch of rain in under an hour, and an undersized or clogged gutter simply overshoots, dumping that volume straight down against the house. Then the winter freeze-thaw cycle takes over, expanding and contracting cheap sectioned gutter until the seams split and the hangers let go. The federally declared March 2025 storms that worked roofs across this county dented and tore loose gutter all over Union too, with straight-line winds over 75 mph and hail running across Franklin County. We size each system to the roof above it, 5-inch for an average ranch and 6-inch with oversized downspouts for the larger or steeper roofs that shed water fast, so it stops overshooting and actually carries the storm away from your foundation.
