When Does a Hudson Home Need New Gutters?
A Hudson home needs new gutters when the old ones keep overflowing, sagging or leaking at the seams after they have been cleaned and refastened. Gutters carry every storm's water off the roof edge and to the downspouts, and once they stop doing that the water runs down the siding, soaks the fascia and lands next to the foundation.
Western Wisconsin is hard on gutters because they work all year. The area gets roughly 45 to 50 inches of snow a year, and when meltwater refreezes at the cold eaves it fills the gutters with ice and adds weight to the hangers. Spring and summer storms then test the same runs with heavy rain, with hail most frequent between May and July.
Many older gutters can be saved, and we say so when they can. If yours are mostly sound, gutter repair fixes the leaking joints, loose hangers and bad sections without replacing the whole run.
Quick check
Watch it rain
Water spilling over the front of a clean gutter, or dripping behind it, tells you the gutter is sagging, pitched wrong or pulling off the fascia.
Signs Your Hudson Gutters Are Failing
Hudson gutters that are failing show it as overflow, drips, stains and gaps long before they fall off the house. Each sign points to a different cause, and the cause decides whether the gutter can be repaired or should be replaced.
Water Over the Front
A gutter that spills over even when it is clean is sagging, pitched the wrong way or too small for the roof above it.
Drips at the Seams
Leaks at the joints and corners mean the sealant has failed, which is common on sectional gutters with many seams.
Gaps at the Roof Edge
A gutter pulling away from the house has loose hangers or rotted fascia behind it, and water goes straight down the wall.
Stains, Peeling Paint and Rot
Streaks on the siding and soft, peeling fascia boards show where water has been running behind the gutter for a while.
Washed-Out Beds by the Foundation
Bare soil or puddles under the eaves mean the gutters or downspouts are dumping water where it can reach the basement.
Ice Hanging From the Gutters
Heavy ice in winter bends hangers and splits seams, and it is often a sign of ice dams on the roof above.

How We Install New Gutters on Hudson Homes
We install new gutters on Hudson homes by checking the roof edge and fascia first, then hanging the new gutters at a steady pitch to downspouts placed where the water can drain away. The same Hudson Roofing Pros crew does the whole job, from the first look to the cleanup, and owner Garrett Olson oversees every project.
- 1
Look at the Roof Edge
We check the fascia boards, the soffit and the shingles at the eaves, because a new gutter is only as solid as the board it hangs on.
- 2
Fix the Wood Behind the Gutter
Rotted fascia is replaced before the new gutter goes up, as part of our soffit and fascia repair and replacement work.
- 3
Plan the Downspouts
We place the downspouts where each run can empty away from the foundation, walks and driveway, and add downspout installation where the old ones were too few or in the wrong spot.
- 4
Hang and Pitch the Gutters
The gutters are fastened to the fascia with a steady fall toward the downspouts so water does not sit in them and freeze.
- 5
Test and Clean Up
We run water through the new system, check every joint and leave the job site clean.
Erin Olson, our office manager, handles the scheduling and keeps you posted from the estimate to the final invoice.

How Gutters Work With Your Roof Edge in Wisconsin Winters
Gutters work with the roof edge in a Wisconsin winter by carrying meltwater away from the eaves, and they cannot stop ice dams on their own. Ice dams form when heat from the house melts snow higher on the roof and the water refreezes at the colder edge, so the fix sits in the attic and on the roof, with ice dam removal when one has already formed.
Wisconsin's dwelling code requires ice dam protection on shingle or shake roofs over heated space with a slope of 4:12 or less: a membrane or sheet metal running at least 30 inches up from the roof edge and at least 12 inches past the inside face of the exterior wall. That protection is under the shingles at the very edge the gutter hangs on, so we check it whenever we have the eaves open.
The code does not mention drip edge, but shingle makers' instructions can call for it, and it keeps water from running behind the gutter onto the fascia. We fit it where it is missing as part of drip edge installation.
Gutter Installation FAQs
How Do I Know if My Gutters Can Be Repaired Instead of Replaced?
Gutters can usually be repaired when the trouble is a few leaking seams, loose hangers or one damaged section and the rest of the run is straight and sound. When the leaks are everywhere, the gutters sag along their length or the metal is split and bent, replacement makes more sense. Our gutter repair visit tells you which you have.
What Do New Gutters Cost Around Hudson?
Seamless aluminum gutters run about $6.70 to $11.80 a linear foot installed in the Twin Cities, a published range and not a quote. We measure your house and give you a price for the actual job.
Should I Replace My Fascia When I Get New Gutters?
You should replace any fascia that is soft or rotted when new gutters go on, because the gutters hang from it. Sound fascia stays. We check every board before we hang the new gutters, and replace the bad ones through our soffit and fascia work.
Do Gutters Cause Ice Dams?
Gutters do not cause ice dams; ice dams come from heat escaping into the attic and melting snow that refreezes at the cold roof edge. Gutters full of leaves and ice can make the backup worse, which is why we recommend gutter cleaning before winter.
Who Installs the Gutters When I Hire Hudson Roofing Pros?
Our own crew installs the gutters, the same team from the first inspection to the final cleanup. Garrett Olson, the owner, oversees every project, and Erin Olson in the office handles your scheduling.
