One-piece gutter installation in Little Rock, formed on site to fit

Big-box sectional gutters come in ten-foot pieces joined with connectors and sealant. Every one of those joints is a spot that can drip, separate or collect debris, and after a few Arkansas summers the sealant usually gives up.

With continuous runs, a 40-foot front wall gets one 40-foot gutter. The only joints left are at the corners and end caps, where we seal and rivet them carefully. Fewer joints means fewer leaks, less ice and debris catching, and a cleaner line along the roof edge.

There is also a cleaner look to one-piece runs. Without seams every ten feet, the gutter reads as a single line of trim, which suits the long low rooflines of ranch homes in Little Rock neighborhoods from Cloverdale to Pleasant Valley.

Little Rock storms can dump a lot of water in a short burst, especially in spring and early summer. Gutters that were fine for light rain overflow in those downpours, and the water drops straight onto foundations, flower beds and walkways.

Many homes do well with standard 5-inch K-style gutters. Steep roofs, long valleys that concentrate water at one corner, and large two-story roof planes often need 6-inch gutters with 3 by 4 inch downspouts. We look at roof area, pitch and where valleys empty before choosing a size, not just the length of the wall.

Tree cover matters too. Homes under pines and oaks fill gutters faster, so we may suggest larger downspouts that pass needles and leaves more easily, or plan for gutter guards from the start.

Gutters also protect more than the foundation. Water that pours off a roof edge without a gutter splashes mud onto siding, rots the bottom edge of doors and soaks porch steps, and in clay soils common around central Arkansas it can keep a crawlspace damp for days after a storm.

Most of our installs use painted aluminum. It does not rust, handles our humidity well and comes in a wide range of colors to match trim, brick and siding. Heavier gauge aluminum resists dents from ladders and falling limbs better than the thinnest stock.

K-style is the common profile on Little Rock homes and holds more water for its size. Half-round gutters suit some older homes in historic neighborhoods, and we can discuss that look if it fits the house.

Color choice matters more than many people expect. A gutter that matches the fascia disappears into the roofline, while a contrasting color draws the eye to every corner and downspout. We help you decide which look suits the house before the coil is loaded.

• 5-inch and 6-inch K-style aluminum
• Downspouts in 2 by 3 and 3 by 4 inch sizes
• Color matched to trim or fascia
• Hidden hangers spaced closer on heavy tree lots

• Old sectional gutters dripping at every joint during rain
• Water pouring over gutters in heavy spring downpours
• Gutters pulling away from the fascia or sagging badly
• Peeling paint and rust on old steel gutters
• Washed out mulch beds and splash marks along the foundation
• No gutters at all on a home with a damp crawlspace

A gutter that looks level is wrong. It needs a gentle slope toward each downspout so water moves instead of sitting and breeding mosquitoes. We snap a line along the fascia and set the pitch before the first hanger goes in.

Hidden hangers screw through the gutter into the fascia and rafter tails, spaced close enough to carry the weight of wet leaves and a full load of water. Downspouts go where they move water away from the foundation without dumping it onto a driveway or a neighbor's yard, and we add extensions or splash blocks so it lands well clear of the house.

Where a roof valley pours water into one corner, we may add a small diverter or a second downspout so the gutter does not overshoot during a hard rain. These small details prevent the common problem of water jumping the gutter right above a back door.

Old gutters that overflowed for years often leave soft or rotten fascia behind them. Hanging new gutters on bad wood means the hangers pull loose within a season or two.

When we take the old gutters down, we check every board. Rotten sections are replaced before the new gutters go up, and you see photos of what we find and the price for that wood work before we do it. We also check that the drip edge on the roof extends over the back of the gutter so water does not run behind it.

Our crew arrives with the gutter machine and coils, removes the old gutters, and makes any fascia repairs you approved. Then each run is formed to length on site, lifted into place, pitched and fastened.

Downspouts, elbows and extensions follow, and we run water through the system with a hose to check flow and look for drips at corners. Old gutters and scraps are hauled away and the yard gets a magnet sweep for screws and nails.

Before we leave, we walk the house with you, point out where each downspout drains and show you any spots where we recommend splash blocks or future grading work. Gutter guards can be added the same day if you planned for them.

These typical 2026 ranges reflect new aluminum gutter installs around Little Rock. Two-story homes and heavy fascia repairs sit at the higher end.

Rotten fascia, second-story runs and extra downspouts are the main things that move the price. See the full roof pricing guide.
