Gutters & Downspouts for Ames homeowners.

Ames gutters face a punishing winter. The freeze-thaw cycle runs harder here than in the Des Moines metro because Ames sits farther north and holds snow longer. Ice dams are the #1 gutter killer in Ames — snow on a warmer roof melts, runs to the cold gutter, re-freezes, and then each subsequent melt adds more ice until the gutter is pulling away from the fascia under pure weight. By spring, half the gutters in some Ames neighborhoods are hanging crooked.

Bakeris Roofing installs seamless aluminum gutters in Ames that are built to survive this cycle. We use hidden-hanger systems with heavier-gauge hangers spaced closer together than the builder standard. We also install ice-and-water underlayment at the eaves of the connecting roof — which addresses the root cause, not just the symptom. Gutters alone won't stop ice dams if your roof lacks adequate ice shield.

Ames has a lot of older housing stock — the Greek row, the 70s-80s ranches around 24th Street, the historic areas near the ISU campus. Many of these homes have original fascia that's cracked or rotted from years of ice-dam water damage. Before installing new gutters, we replace rotted fascia sections and add ice shield to the eaves. Otherwise the new gutters just inherit the same damage pattern within a few winters.

Ames also has a substantial rental housing inventory serving ISU students, and a lot of small-owner landlords who want quality gutters without the chaos of chasing them every spring. We work with Ames landlords on multi-property gutter installs — usually bundled with roof repair or replacement so you get one crew, one scheduling window, and one warranty.

Heated gutter cables are available for problem areas — north-facing slopes, valleys, and shaded stretches that regularly form ice dams. Call (515) 967-8199 or request a free Ames gutter estimate.

FAQ

Gutters & Downspouts in Ames — FAQ

No. Ice dams form from a warmer roof melting snow that refreezes at the colder eave. Gutters suffer from the ice but don't cause it. The fix is a combination of proper attic insulation and ventilation, ice-and-water shield underlayment at the eaves, and correctly sized gutters. We address all three during a free assessment.
