Gutters do the unglamorous work of keeping water away from your foundation, siding, and landscaping. Charlotte gets around 43 inches of rain a year, and without properly working gutters, that water goes straight into places it shouldn't. Compare local gutter contractors and get free estimates.
From new gutter installation to repairs and leaf protection, here are the gutter services Charlotte homeowners need most.

Seamless gutters are custom-formed on-site to fit your home exactly, which means fewer joints and fewer leak points. Aluminum is the standard material for Charlotte homes — it's lightweight, rust-resistant, and comes in dozens of colors to match your trim. Most roofing contractors install gutters when they do a roof replacement, which saves on labor costs since they already have scaffolding and crews on-site.
Charlotte's oak and pine trees drop a lot of debris into gutters, especially in fall and spring. Gutter guards keep leaves, pine needles, and seeds out while letting water flow through. Micro-mesh guards work best for fine debris like pine needles, which are common in neighborhoods around Weddington and Marvin. Guards don't make gutters maintenance-free, but they cut cleaning frequency from twice a year to once every few years.
Sagging gutters, leaking seams, and overflowing corners are common problems in Charlotte's older neighborhoods. Most gutter repairs involve re-hanging sections that have pulled away from the fascia, sealing leaky joints, or replacing damaged downspout connections. If storm damage knocked a section loose, your homeowner's insurance may cover the repair cost. Small repairs caught early prevent water damage to your fascia boards, soffits, and foundation.
Downspouts carry water from your gutters to ground level and away from your foundation. If your home has water pooling near the foundation or damp basement walls, you may need additional downspouts or extensions. The general rule is one downspout for every 30–40 linear feet of gutter. Homes on slopes or with clay soil — common around Fort Mill and Indian Trail — sometimes need underground drainage lines connected to the downspouts.

Six factors that determine what you'll pay for new gutters or gutter repair in Charlotte.
More linear feet of gutter means a higher total cost. Two-story homes also cost more per foot because the crew needs taller ladders and more time. A typical Charlotte ranch-style home needs about 150 linear feet of gutter; a two-story colonial may need 200+.
Seamless aluminum is the standard and most affordable option. Steel gutters cost a bit more but handle heavy snow loads better. Copper is the premium choice — beautiful and long-lasting but three to four times the price of aluminum. Most Charlotte homes go with aluminum.
Screen-style guards are the cheapest. Micro-mesh guards cost more but keep out pine needles and small seeds. Reverse-curve (helmet-style) guards are the most expensive. The right type depends on what kind of trees are around your home.
Gutters attach to the fascia board along your roofline. If the fascia is rotted or damaged, it needs replacing before new gutters go up. Fascia board replacement adds $6–$20 per linear foot depending on the material. This is common on older Charlotte homes that have had leaking gutters for years.
Each downspout adds $100–$300 to the project. Homes with long gutter runs need more downspouts to handle water volume. If your current gutters overflow in heavy rain, adding a downspout or two is often the fix rather than replacing the entire system.
Homes with steep roof pitches, tight lot lines, landscaping close to the foundation, or sections over decks and porches take more labor time. If the crew can't get a truck close or needs to work around obstacles, it adds to the cost.
