Seattle Custom Gutters

Seattle’s older housing stock — from Craftsman bungalows in Ballard to steep-lot homes on Beacon Hill — rarely has a roofline that fits an off-the-shelf gutter. Rooflines here were built decades before standard gutter sizing existed, and a lot of them carry more roof surface, and more water, than a stock 5-inch system was ever meant to handle. That’s where custom gutters come in: sized to your actual roof, matched to your home’s trim color, and built to move Seattle’s rainfall load without backing up. Gutter Seattle has fitted custom systems on homes across the city for years, and we can tell you within one visit whether your home needs a 5-inch, 6-inch, or oversized system.

Why Standard Gutters Fall Short on Seattle Homes

Walk through Capitol Hill, Wallingford, or West Seattle and you’ll see the pattern: mature maple and fir canopy overhanging steep, multi-plane roofs, feeding into gutter runs that were often replaced once — badly — sometime in the last few decades. A generic gutter kit doesn’t account for:

• Roof pitch and square footage specific to your home’s era of construction
• Downspout placement that actually clears water away from century-old foundations
• Fascia boards that have shifted or rotted behind an ill-fitting system
• Color matching to original trim on historic homes, where mismatched aluminum stands out immediately

Custom gutters solve each of these individually, on-site, rather than forcing your house into a one-size-fits-all box.

What “Custom” Actually Means

When we say custom gutters, we mean the system is fabricated to your home’s exact linear footage, on-site, from a continuous coil — not cut from pre-made lengths. That eliminates the seams that fail first. From there, custom covers:

Sizing. Most Seattle homes are fine with a 5-inch K-style system. Homes with steep or large roof planes — common in neighborhoods like Magnolia and Queen Anne — often need 6-inch gutters and 3×4 downspouts to keep up with peak rainfall volume without overflowing.

Material. Aluminum is the standard, durable choice for most homes. Copper is available for homeowners restoring a historic property or wanting a system that will visibly age and last for decades.

Color. We color-match to your existing trim, siding, or roofline rather than defaulting to white or brown.
