Yes, we cover the full "Three-C" corridor. From the historic brick homes of German Village (Columbus) and St. Anne’s Hill (Dayton) to the sprawling suburbs of Blue Ash (Cincinnati) and Dublin, our crews are locally positioned to serve your neighborhood efficiently.

Absolutely. Working in historic areas like Over-the-Rhine, Victorian Village, or the Oregon District requires strict adherence to preservation guidelines.

• Certificate of Appropriateness (COA): You typically cannot alter exterior features without this. We assist with the application process, ensuring detailed drawings and material samples (often requiring copper or custom-fabricated box gutters) meet the review board's approval.

• Compliance: We are familiar with local rules—for example, many districts ban standard K-style aluminum gutters on street-facing facades, requiring half-round or box styles instead.

Box gutters are a critical architectural feature in Cincinnati and Dayton homes built before 1930.

• Repair (Relining): If the wood structure is sound, we can often reline the trough with metal (copper/terne) or a modern membrane (EPDM). This stops leaks without the high cost of reconstruction.

• Rebuild: If the wood framing has rotted or the structure is sagging, a full rebuild is necessary to prevent water from collapsing into your walls.

• Warning: We strongly advise against hanging standard aluminum gutters over old box gutters ("abandoning" them), as this ruins the home's aesthetic and often hides ongoing structural rot.

This is a common Ohio issue caused by our freeze-thaw cycles.

• Ice Weight: In winter, heavy snow and ice dams weigh down gutters, loosening the spikes or hangers.

• Rotting Fascia: If water has been overflowing for a while, the wood fascia board behind the gutter may have rotted, giving the screws nothing to hold onto. We always inspect and repair the wood fascia before installing new gutters.

Ice dams occur when heat escapes your attic, melts snow on the roof, and it refreezes at the cold gutter edge, forcing water under your shingles.

• The Fix: While we can install heated gutter cables as a safeguard, the permanent solution involves improving your attic insulation and ventilation. We can assess if your current gutter system is contributing to the blockage by trapping debris.

• Seamless Aluminum (Most Popular): Rust-proof, available in many colors, and handles our heavy rainfall well.

• Steel: Stronger than aluminum and resists damage from falling branches (common in wooded areas like Hyde Park or Grandview Heights), but requires a galvanized coating to prevent rust.

• Copper: The "forever" option. It doesn't rust, develops a beautiful patina, and is the gold standard for historic restorations.
