What your gutters are telling you
Gutters fail quietly and then expensively. Here's how to read the six most common symptoms — including the one that isn't actually a gutter problem at all.
- Water sheeting over the front edge in a storm
- Undersized gutters, or a clog at the outlet. Most older Trenton-area homes have 5-inch gutters on roofs that really want 6-inch.
- A stripe of mud splashed up the siding
- Water is landing where it shouldn't. Usually a missing or short downspout, sometimes a pitch that runs the wrong way.
- Peeling paint or soft wood on the fascia board
- The gutter has been overflowing behind itself, likely for years. Fascia needs repair before new gutter goes on it.
- A wet basement wall on one side of the house
- Almost always a downspout dumping at the foundation. This is the cheapest basement-water fix that exists — extend the discharge.
- Ice building up at the eaves each winter
- Ice dams. Gutters get blamed, but the real cause is attic heat loss and poor ventilation — which is a roofing conversation.
- Sagging span with a visible dip
- Hangers pulled out, or the gutter is full of standing water and debris. Either way it's holding weight it wasn't built for.
Ice dams aren't a gutter problem
If you get ice at the eaves every winter, new gutters won't stop it. Ice dams come from attic heat melting snow that then refreezes at the cold overhang — the fix is ventilation and insulation, up on the roof.

Gutter questions, answered
How much does gutter replacement cost in New Jersey? +
It depends on linear footage, how many stories, gutter size, and whether the fascia behind it needs repair. Contractor Solutions measures the house and gives you a free written number rather than a per-foot guess over the phone.
Should I get 5-inch or 6-inch gutters? +
Six-inch gutters with 3x4 downspouts move roughly twice the water of standard 5-inch with 2x3 downspouts. If your gutters overflow in heavy rain, if you have a large or steep roof, or if several slopes drain into one run, 6-inch is the right call. For a modest ranch with a simple roof, 5-inch is usually fine.
Are gutter guards worth it? +
Under mature oaks and maples, yes — they turn a twice-yearly chore into an occasional check. On a house with no overhanging trees, they mostly add cost. We'll tell you which situation you're in rather than selling them by default.
Do you replace gutters when you replace a roof? +
It's usually the smart time to do it. The crew and staging are already there, the drip edge and gutter apron get installed correctly together, and it costs less than mobilizing twice. If your gutters are sound we'll say so and leave them alone.
Can gutters fix a wet basement? +
Often, and more cheaply than anything else. A downspout discharging next to the foundation puts hundreds of gallons against the wall in a single storm. Extending the discharge ten feet away, and correcting the grade, solves a surprising number of basement water problems on its own.
