gutter installation in wellesley, ma
Wellesley's mature trees, heavy spring rains and winter ice put gutters through a lot. When they overflow, sag or pull away from the fascia, water ends up against your siding, behind your trim and next to your foundation. Plum ProExteriors installs seamless gutters for Wellesley homes, formed on site to fit your roofline and sized for the water your roof actually sheds.

★★★★★5/5seamless gutters sized for your roof
For most Wellesley homes, seamless aluminum K-style gutters with properly placed downspouts and a leaf guard system are the right choice. Seamless gutters are formed in one continuous piece for each run, so there are no joints along the length to leak. We measure the roof, check the fascia behind the old gutters, size the system, and install it with hangers spaced to hold up under snow and ice. Most homes are finished in a day or two.

gutter services in wellesley
Seamless gutter installation
We roll each gutter run on site from a coil, so every piece is cut to the exact length of your roof edge. Corners and end caps are the only joints, and those are sealed and fastened.
Gutter replacement
Old gutters come down, and we inspect and repair the fascia and roof edge before the new system goes up. Replacing gutters without fixing soft fascia just moves the problem.
Leaf guards
Leaf guards keep leaves, pine needles and seed pods out of the trough, cut down on cleaning and reduce the clogs that lead to ice dams. Our gutter guard guide explains the different types.
Downspouts and drainage
We place downspouts where they will carry the most water off the roof and run extensions so the water discharges away from your foundation, walkways and driveway.
gutter styles and materials
K-style gutters have a flat back and a decorative front that looks like crown molding. They carry more water than half-round gutters of the same width and suit most colonials, capes and newer homes. Half-round gutters have a classic rounded profile and are a natural fit for historic homes, especially in copper. Our K-style vs half-round guide covers the trade-offs.
- Aluminum: rust-resistant, lightweight and the most popular choice in Massachusetts
- Copper: a premium look that develops a natural patina, common on historic Wellesley homes
- Galvanized steel: strong and durable under heavy snow and ice loads
- Fiberglass: strong and flexible for exposed locations
sizing gutters for wellesley roofs
Most homes use 5-inch gutters, but larger roofs, steep pitches, long runs and roof valleys that concentrate water often need 6-inch gutters and larger downspouts. Sizing is not guesswork. We look at the roof area draining into each run, the pitch and where the valleys empty, then size the gutters and decide how many downspouts each run needs. Our guides to 5-inch vs 6-inch gutters and how many downspouts you need explain the details.
gutters, ice dams and winter
Ice dams form when heat escaping through the roof melts snow that refreezes at the colder eave. Gutters do not cause ice dams, but clogged or sagging gutters make them worse by trapping water and ice at the roof edge. Clean, well-pitched gutters with secure hangers and leaf guards help meltwater drain away. If ice dams are a recurring problem, we also look at the roof's ventilation and insulation during the estimate.
gutters with a new roof
If you are replacing your roof, it is usually the right time to replace the gutters too. The roof edge, drip edge and gutters work as one system, and doing them together avoids taking new gutters down later. See our Wellesley roofing page for more.

frequently asked questions
How is gutter installation estimated?
We measure every roof edge, count corners and downspouts, note the height and access, and check the fascia. Material and size come next. You get a written quote after the visit.
Are seamless gutters better than sectional gutters?
Yes, for most homes. Seamless gutters have no joints along each run, so they leak less and need less maintenance than sectional gutters pieced together every few feet.
Are gutter guards worth it in Wellesley?
For most homes with nearby trees, yes. Guards reduce clogging and cleaning and help meltwater drain in winter. They still need an occasional check.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
At least twice a year, in spring and fall, and more often if tall trees overhang the roof.
How long do gutters last?
Aluminum gutters typically last 20 to 30 years with proper maintenance. Copper and steel can last longer.
