Where does the water go?

Every storm sends water off your roof one way or another. Seamless gutters, downspouts and the metal along your roof edge decide whether it lands in the yard or soaks the fascia and runs to your foundation. Simple Restoration Solutions builds that route for homes and commercial buildings across the Denver metro.

Gutter size

One inch of rain puts roughly 620 gallons on every 1,000 square feet of roof. Every part on this drawing is there to move it somewhere safe.

Why seamless gutters

A seamless gutter is formed on site from one continuous piece of metal, cut to the exact length of each run. With no joints along the straight sections, there are fewer places for water to drip through, rust from the inside or pull apart when ice loads up.

Sectional gutter usually comes in shorter stock lengths joined along the run. A seamless run only has joints where it turns a corner or meets a downspout.

How a seamless run gets made

  1. Measure each run

    Every straight section of roof edge is measured, along with corners and where downspouts should drop.

  2. Form it on site

    A coil of gutter metal goes through a forming machine at the house, coming out as one continuous piece cut to length.

  3. Hang and pitch

    The gutter is fastened to the fascia with hangers and set with a slight slope so water runs to the outlets.

5 inchThe standard size on most homes. Fits typical roof areas and everyday Front Range storms.
6 inchFor large or steep roof areas, long runs, and spots where heavy rain overwhelms a 5 inch gutter.

Gutters first. Then every piece of metal along the roof edge.

Simple Restoration Solutions builds and repairs the parts of a building that move water off the roof and keep it out of the walls, on homes and commercial properties.

Gutters Lead service

New gutter systems sized to the roof, formed on site and hung to drain to the right spots.

  • Seamless gutter installation5 inch and 6 inch K-style runs, formed at the house in one piece per run.
  • DownspoutsPlaced and extended to carry water away from the foundation, not dump it beside it.
  • Leader heads and conductorsCollector boxes for scuppers on flat and parapet roofs, feeding a downspout below.
  • Leaf guardsCovers that let water in and keep leaves and needles out, so gutters clog less often.

Roof-edge and flashing metalwork

  • Drip edgeMetal along the eaves and rakes that kicks water into the gutter and off the fascia.
  • Step flashingLayered pieces where a roof meets a wall or chimney side.
  • Parapet and cap flashingMetal caps that keep water out of the top of a parapet wall.
  • Chimney chase coversSloped metal tops for framed chimney chases.
  • Snow guards and snow stopsHold snow on the roof so it melts off instead of sliding off at once.

Repair and carpentry

  • Fascia board repair and reframingReplacing rotted fascia so new gutters have something solid to hang on.
  • Soffit repairFixing damaged soffit panels under the eaves.
  • Some sidingPatch and section work where water has done damage.
  • Small roof repairsEdge and flashing-related fixes on the roof itself.

And anything metal on a building.

What the last storm told you

Most gutter and roof-edge problems show up as water in the wrong place. Pick the one you saw and the quote form starts there.

Overflowing gutters

Water sheets over the front edge in a heavy rain. The gutter may be undersized for the roof, pitched wrong, or short on downspouts.

Ice dams

Snow melts higher up, refreezes at the cold eave and backs water under the shingles. Drip edge, gutters and snow control are part of the fix; attic heat loss is the other part.

Fascia rot

Soft, stained or peeling fascia behind the gutter. Water has been getting behind the gutter for a while, and the board needs repair before new gutters go up.

Water at the foundation

Puddles or erosion right beside the house after rain. Downspouts may be missing, clogged or ending too close to the wall.
