Gutters & Downspouts in Urbandale, Iowa

Urbandale is famous for its mature tree canopy, and while it's one of the things that makes the city beautiful, it's also why Urbandale homeowners spend more time fighting gutter clogs than residents of newer metro cities. Silver maples, pin oaks, and sweet gums drop thousands of leaves, seed pods, and twigs every fall — and all of it ends up in the gutters. Clogged gutters overflow, and overflowing gutters rot fascia, flood basements, and feed ice dams every winter.

Bakeris Roofing has been installing seamless gutters and leaf guard systems in Urbandale since 1990. We know the neighborhoods with the heaviest tree coverage — the older areas along Aurora Avenue, the developments around Walnut Creek, and the mature-canopy zones off 86th and 100th. For these areas, leaf guards are not optional. They're what keeps your gutter system from becoming a monthly chore.

We size leaf guards to the tree type. Pine needles need different mesh than oak leaves, and sweet gum balls clog some guard styles completely. During the estimate we identify your overhanging trees and spec the right guard — usually a micromesh or hooded-hood style for mixed hardwoods, or a coarser screen for pine.

Urbandale also has a lot of 25-40 year old homes with original fascia that's starting to show water damage from years of gutter overflow. Before we install new gutters, we check the fascia and replace any rotted sections. Installing new gutters over bad fascia just hides the problem for a year and then fails expensively. We handle the fascia repair and gutter install as a coordinated job.

Most Urbandale gutter jobs are 6" K-style seamless aluminum with 3x4 oversized downspouts — sized for the heavy leaf-season flow. Call (515) 967-8199 or request a free Urbandale gutter estimate.
