ABOUT US
Since 1948, Tomlinson Cannon has been Eastern Iowa’s trusted expert in keeping homes dry. We’ve earned our reputation by providing exceptional service and guaranteed solutions protecting your home roof to foundation. From seamless gutters and roofing to basement waterproofing and foundation repair, our team of skilled professionals delivers quality workmanship and delights you every step of the way. When you choose Tomlinson Cannon, you get our commitment to keeping your home dry and on firm foundations for generations to come.
Tomlinson Cannon has been doing this across the Quad Cities since 1948. We work both sides of the river from our Davenport office, which is a fifteen-minute drive from most of Moline, and we handle residential and commercial work with the same crews and the same standards.
What to Look for in a Moline Gutter Company
If you are comparing contractors, these are the questions worth asking — of us or of anyone else.
Do they work this side of the river regularly? Illinois and Iowa differ on codes and permitting, and a contractor who rarely crosses over learns that the hard way on your job. We have held work on both sides for over seven decades. Rock Island County is routine for us, not an exception.
Do the people who quote it do the work? On our jobs they do. You are not handed to a subcontractor after signing. That matters most when something needs adjusting mid-job, which on older Moline housing stock it often does.
Are they insured, and will they show you? Ours are fully insured and trained, and we will produce the certificate without being chased. Gutter work happens at height. If a contractor is vague about coverage, that is your answer.
Will they tell you when you do not need the work? This is the one most people forget to ask. We quote repair against replacement side by side and recommend the cheaper option when it is the right one. We would rather do a smaller job well and be called back in three years.
Can they handle the whole system? Gutters, downspouts, drainage and where the water actually ends up are one system. We look at all of it, including foundation repair across the Quad Cities and basement waterproofing when the water is already causing damage below ground.
Our Moline Gutter Installers
The crew is the company. Ours are trained in-house, insured, and long-tenured — you can meet the team here, which is not something most contractors will show you.

What that means on a Moline job:
- Measurements taken properly before anything is ordered, so runs fit the roofline rather than being forced to
- Correct drainage slope on every run, checked rather than eyeballed
- Downspouts placed where the water needs to go, not where they are easiest to fit
- Clean site at the end of each day, and your landscaping intact
- One point of contact from quote through to completion
If you want to see how that lands with customers, our customer reviews and testimonials are worth five minutes.
Residential and Commercial Gutter Systems
Most gutter companies in Moline handle houses. Fewer are set up for commercial work, and the two are not the same job.
Residential. Seamless aluminium formed on site, 5-inch for most homes and 6-inch where the roof area or pitch demands it. Moline's older housing stock — deep eaves, steep pitches, mature trees overhead — needs a system specified for the building rather than pulled off a standard sheet.
Commercial. Higher-capacity systems for larger roof areas, storefronts and multi-unit buildings, with the oversized downspouts and drainage capacity those roofs require. We scope, specify and install, and we work around your operating hours rather than through them.
Both are quoted the same way: in writing, itemised, with the reasoning explained.
What We Handle in Moline, IL
Full detail on each of these sits on our Moline gutter services page, which covers specifications, timelines and the questions homeowners ask most.
- New gutter installation — custom-fit seamless systems, most homes completed in a day or two
- Gutter repair — leaks, sagging runs, separated seams, rust, failed hangers
- Gutter replacement — when repair is no longer the economical choice
- Gutter cleaning — seasonal clearing, with downspouts flushed and the system checked
- Gutter guards — two systems, specified to your tree cover and roof pitch
- Downspouts and drainage — sizing, extension, rerouting and burial
We also install gutter guard systems and seamless gutters throughout the region, and run the same gutter cleaning service across every market we serve.

Where We Work
From the Davenport office we cover Moline, East Moline, Rock Island and Silvis on the Illinois side, and Davenport, Bettendorf and the surrounding communities in Iowa. Crossing the river does not put you in a different service tier — East Moline is closer to our shop than parts of our own county.
Nearby: gutter services in Bettendorf, gutter installation in Davenport, and our work across the Quad Cities.

Questions About Choosing a Gutter Company
How do I know if a gutter company is properly insured? Ask for the certificate of insurance and check it covers both liability and workers' compensation. Any legitimate contractor will produce it immediately. We provide ours with every quote without being asked.
Do you work in Illinois as well as Iowa? Yes. We have worked both sides of the river for over seven decades and understand the code and permitting differences. Moline, East Moline, Rock Island and Silvis are all routine service areas for us.
Do you handle commercial gutter systems? Yes. Larger roof areas, storefronts and multi-unit buildings need higher-capacity systems and oversized downspouts. We scope, specify and install, and we schedule around your operating hours.
How much does a gutter company in Moline typically charge? It depends on linear footage, gutter size, roof height and access. What matters more is what the quote includes — some contractors exclude removal and disposal of the old system, or downspout work. Ours are itemised so you can compare like for like.
Should I replace my gutters or repair them? If the runs are structurally sound and the problem is localised, repair. If they are leaking at several joints, rusted through, or undersized for the roof, replace. We quote both so you can decide with the numbers in front of you.
How quickly can you start? Most Moline jobs are scheduled within a couple of weeks, sooner for urgent repairs. We will tell you honestly at quote stage rather than promising a date we cannot hold.
