Our Expertise

Gutters & Downspouts in Des Moines, Iowa.

Gutters direct rain and snowmelt away from the roof edge and the ground beside your home. When they are clogged, loose, undersized, or damaged, water can spill over or run behind the system.

Bakeris Roofing installs seamless aluminum gutters and downspouts, rolled to length on-site so the only joints are at corners and outlets. We also repair existing systems, install gutter guards, and clean out leaves and debris when the gutters need routine service.

If you are unsure whether the system needs cleaning, repair, or replacement, we can inspect the problem and explain the practical options.

FAQ

Gutters & Downspouts FAQ

What are seamless gutters, and why do they cost more than the box-store kind?
Seamless gutters are rolled from a coil of aluminum on a machine at your house and cut to the exact length of each run. Sectional gutters come in pre-cut lengths joined along the run. Every joint is a potential maintenance point, so a seamless system limits joints mainly to corners and outlets. The right value depends on installation quality, layout, maintenance, and how long you plan to keep the system.
How much does gutter installation cost in Des Moines?
Standard 5" seamless K-style aluminum runs about $8 to $12 per linear foot installed. Oversized 6" runs about $12 to $16. Most Des Moines homes have 150 to 200 feet of gutter, which puts a full replacement in the $1,500 to $3,500 range. Leaf guards add roughly $6 to $10 per foot depending on the style. Fascia repair, if the boards behind the old gutters are rotted, is quoted separately once we can see them.
Do I need gutter guards?
Gutter guards can reduce the amount of leaves and debris entering the system, especially around mature trees. They do not make gutters maintenance-free, so the best choice depends on your roof, trees, and cleaning needs. Different guard styles handle debris differently: micromesh can help with smaller material such as pine needles, while a coarser screen may be suitable for larger leaves. Under a heavy canopy, guards may reduce cleaning frequency, but the system still needs periodic inspection.
What size downspouts should I have?
The gutter is only half the system. A larger gutter can still back up if the outlets or downspouts cannot handle the contributing roof area. We size downspouts to the roof area, gutter layout, and outlet count; larger roof sections may call for 3x4 downspouts. We also plan discharge away from the building because water released beside the foundation can contribute to moisture problems.
How often do gutters need cleaning?
Twice a year is a useful starting point in Central Iowa: once in late spring after trees drop seeds and blooms, and once in late fall after the leaves are down. Homes under mature trees may need more frequent checks. Clearing debris before winter helps prevent frozen blockages, overflow, and excess weight in the gutter; roof-edge ice dams are more commonly tied to heat loss, snowmelt, and refreezing at the eaves.
