You’re not looking for gutters. You’re looking for a system that actually works when the snow melts in March and the storms roll through in October.
That’s what seamless gutter installation does. No joints where leaves pile up. No seams where leaks start. Just one continuous piece of aluminum, custom-fabricated on your property to fit your roofline exactly.
When rain gutters are installed correctly, water moves off your roof, through the system, and away from your foundation. Your basement stays dry. Your landscaping doesn’t erode. Your siding doesn’t rot from constant dripping. The system does its job quietly, and you don’t think about it again until it’s time to clean them out.
Most homes in Greenfield were built in the early 1980s. If your gutters are original, they’ve been through 40+ New Hampshire winters. That’s 40 freeze-thaw cycles, 40 seasons of ice dams, 40 years of expansion and contraction. Even well-made systems wear out.
We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. That’s not a participation trophy. It means we meet specific standards for installation quality, customer service, and business practices that most contractors don’t bother with.
We’re licensed in Massachusetts and insured. We’ve been installing gutters and handling exterior remodeling projects across southern New Hampshire for over 12 years. We know what Greenfield homes need because we’ve worked on dozens of them.
The homes here face heavy snow loads, ice buildup, and seasonal debris from oak and pine trees. Your gutter system has to handle all of it without sagging, leaking, or pulling away from the fascia. We size downspouts correctly, pitch the gutters for proper drainage, and use fasteners that hold up under weight. It’s not complicated, but it has to be done right.
First, we come out to your property in Greenfield and measure your roofline. We look at pitch, fascia condition, and how water currently drains. If your fascia boards are rotted or damaged, we’ll tell you before we hang anything. There’s no point installing new gutters on wood that won’t hold the weight.
Next, we fabricate the seamless gutters on-site using a roll-forming machine. The gutters are cut to exact length, so there are no seams along the runs. We only use joints at inside and outside corners where they’re unavoidable. This reduces leak points by about 90% compared to sectional systems.
Then we install the system. We secure the gutters to the fascia with hidden hangers spaced every 24 inches, sometimes closer if your roof has a steep pitch or if you’re in a high-snow area. We make sure the pitch is correct so water flows toward the downspouts without pooling. Downspouts are placed where they’ll move water away from your foundation, not into your flower beds or toward your basement.
Finally, we test the system. We run water through it and check for proper flow, leaks, and drainage. If something’s off, we adjust it before we leave. You shouldn’t have to call us back two weeks later because water’s overflowing at a corner.

We install seamless aluminum gutters in 5-inch and 6-inch widths, depending on your roof size and pitch. Most homes in Greenfield do fine with 5-inch, but if you have a large roof area or a steep pitch, 6-inch gutters handle the volume better during heavy rain.
We also install gutter guards if you want them. They’re not required, but they cut down on how often you need to clean the system. In Greenfield, where you’ve got oak trees dropping leaves in the fall and pine needles year-round, guards make sense for a lot of homeowners. They won’t eliminate maintenance completely, but they reduce it.
Downspouts get extensions or underground drainage if your property needs it. If water’s pooling near your foundation or running into your driveway, we can route it somewhere better. New Hampshire gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year. That’s a lot of water coming off your roof, and it has to go somewhere that won’t cause problems.
We handle repairs too. If your current system is sagging, leaking at a seam, or pulling away from the house, we can often fix it without replacing the whole thing. But if the gutters are old, dented, or undersized for your roof, replacement makes more sense than patching.
Most gutter installations in Greenfield run between $1,200 and $3,500, depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the roofline. A typical ranch with a simple roofline and 150 linear feet of gutters usually falls in the $1,500 to $2,000 range. Two-story homes or houses with multiple valleys, dormers, or complex angles cost more because they require more labor and material.
Seamless gutters are priced per linear foot, usually between $8 and $15 installed. That includes the gutters, downspouts, hangers, and end caps. Gutter guards add another $5 to $10 per linear foot if you want them.
The price also depends on whether your fascia boards need repair. If the wood is rotted or damaged, we have to fix that before we can hang new gutters. That adds to the cost, but it’s necessary. Hanging gutters on bad fascia is a waste of money because they won’t stay up.
We give you a written estimate after we measure your home. No surprises, no upselling. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
Seamless aluminum gutters typically last 20 to 30 years in New Hampshire if they’re installed correctly and maintained. The lifespan depends on a few things: material quality, installation quality, and how much snow and ice your roof dumps into them every winter.
Aluminum holds up well in freeze-thaw cycles, which is important here. It doesn’t rust like steel, and it’s light enough that it won’t pull away from the fascia under normal snow loads. But if your gutters are undersized for your roof, or if the hangers are spaced too far apart, they’ll sag and fail sooner.
Copper gutters last 50+ years, but they cost three to four times more than aluminum. Most homeowners in Greenfield go with aluminum because the cost-to-lifespan ratio makes sense.
The biggest factor in gutter lifespan is maintenance. If you let debris pile up, water sits in the gutters and accelerates corrosion. If ice dams form and water backs up under your shingles, that’s a roof problem, not a gutter problem, but it still shortens the life of the system. Clean your gutters twice a year, and they’ll last.
Gutter guards aren’t required, but they’re worth it if you have a lot of trees near your house or if climbing a ladder twice a year isn’t something you want to do. They don’t eliminate gutter cleaning completely, but they reduce how often you need to do it and how much debris you’re pulling out.
In Greenfield, most properties have mature trees. Oak leaves, pine needles, and helicopter seeds from maples all end up in your gutters. Without guards, you’re cleaning them out in late fall and again in spring. With guards, you might only need to clear them once a year, or even less.
The best guards are micro-mesh or perforated aluminum. They let water through but keep most debris out. Cheap plastic guards or foam inserts don’t work well and can actually make things worse by trapping small debris and creating clogs you can’t see.
Gutter guards cost more upfront, but they pay for themselves over time in reduced maintenance. If you’re older, if your roof is steep, or if you just don’t want to deal with it, they’re a good investment.
Water goes wherever it wants, and that’s usually straight down next to your foundation. Over time, that causes foundation cracks, basement leaks, and soil erosion around the perimeter of your home. In Greenfield, where the soil has a lot of clay content, water pooling near your foundation is a serious problem.
You’ll also see damage to your siding and fascia. When gutters overflow or leak, water runs down the side of your house. Wood siding rots. Vinyl siding gets stained. Fascia boards deteriorate, and then you’re looking at wood replacement on top of gutter replacement.
Ice dams get worse without functioning gutters. When snow melts off your roof and has nowhere to go, it refreezes at the edge and builds up. That ice pushes under your shingles and causes roof leaks. It’s one of the most common sources of winter water damage in New Hampshire.
The longer you wait, the more expensive the fix becomes. A $2,000 gutter replacement is a lot cheaper than a $10,000 foundation repair or a $5,000 roof repair. Gutters aren’t glamorous, but they’re one of the most important parts of your home’s drainage system.
Yes, but it depends on the temperature. We can install gutters as long as it’s above 20°F and the fascia isn’t covered in ice. Aluminum doesn’t become brittle in cold weather, and the fasteners and sealants we use are rated for low temperatures.
The bigger issue is access and safety. If your roof is covered in snow or ice, we need to clear the edge before we can work. If the ground is frozen or covered in snow, setting up ladders safely is harder. We don’t take risks with winter installations. If conditions aren’t safe, we’ll reschedule.
Most homeowners in Greenfield schedule gutter installation in late spring, summer, or early fall. The weather’s predictable, and we can work faster. But if your gutters fail in January and you’re getting water damage, we’re not going to tell you to wait until May. We’ll get it done as soon as conditions allow.
Winter installations sometimes take a little longer because we’re working in cold weather and shorter daylight hours. But the quality of the work doesn’t change. The gutters go up the same way, and they perform the same way, regardless of when they’re installed.
If your gutters are sagging in one spot, leaking at a seam, or missing a section of downspout, that’s usually repairable. We can reattach hangers, seal joints, or replace a damaged section without tearing the whole system down. Repairs make sense if the rest of the system is in good shape and the gutters are less than 15 years old.
But if your gutters are pulling away from the house in multiple places, if they’re dented or bent along the runs, or if they’re leaking at several seams, replacement is the better option. Patchwork repairs on an old system just buy you a year or two before the next problem shows up.
Also, if your gutters are undersized for your roof, repairs won’t fix the real issue. A lot of older homes in Greenfield have 4-inch gutters, which can’t handle the water volume from a steep roof or a large surface area. Upgrading to 5-inch or 6-inch gutters solves the problem permanently.
We’ll give you an honest assessment when we come out. If repairs will get you another 10 years, we’ll tell you. If you’re throwing money at a system that’s going to fail anyway, we’ll tell you that too. You make the call based on what makes sense for your budget and your home.
