Gutter Companies in Bettendorf, IA: How to Choose

Most gutter companies in Bettendorf can hang a gutter. Fewer will tell you why the last one failed. Usually it's one of three things: the gutter was too small for the roof, the downspouts couldn't keep up, or the joints opened up after a few freeze-and-thaw winters. Tomlinson Cannon has been fixing those problems in Eastern Iowa since 1948, and our Davenport crew covers Bettendorf, Riverdale, LeClaire and the rest of the Quad Cities.

What to look for in a Bettendorf gutter company

Price matters, but it's the last thing to compare. Start with these:

• Seamless gutters made on site. A seamless gutter is formed from one length of aluminum at your house, so there are no joints along the run to leak. Ask any company you're comparing whether they cut sections or run them on site.
• The right size for your roof. Plenty of Bettendorf homes have long, steep roof planes that send more water than a standard 5-inch gutter can hold in a heavy storm. We install both 5-inch and 6-inch gutters and will tell you which one your roof needs. Our guide to 5-inch vs 6-inch gutters in Iowa walks through it.
• Downspouts that match. A big gutter with a small downspout still overflows. We size downspouts to the gutter and can fit oversized downspouts where trees drop a lot of debris.
• Someone who looks past the gutter. Overflowing gutters dump water next to the foundation. Because we also do basement waterproofing and foundation repair, we'll point it out if water is already causing damage below.
• A local office. Our Davenport office is a short drive from Bettendorf, so estimates and repairs don't wait on a crew coming in from out of town.

Gutter services we provide in Bettendorf

Seamless gutter installation and replacement

We remove the old system, check the fascia behind it, and run new seamless aluminum gutters in 5-inch or 6-inch profiles with downspouts sized to match. If the fascia is soft, we'll show you before we hang anything on it. For a rough budget, see our seamless gutter installation cost guide.

Gutter repair

Sagging runs, leaking corners, loose downspouts and gutters pulled away from the house. A lot of these can be fixed without replacing the whole system, and we'll tell you honestly when repair makes more sense than replacement.

Gutter guards

We install two systems. Elite Screen is a heavy-duty aluminum screen that keeps out leaves and maple seeds. Hydro Flo uses stainless steel mesh over an aluminum base and handles pine needles, shingle grit, ice and snow best, so it's the one we usually recommend for Bettendorf winters. Both go on without nails in your roof, after a full cleaning, and carry a lifetime guarantee that the material won't rust or corrode. More on the options on our gutter guards page.

Gutter cleaning

If your gutters are in good shape and just need clearing, our gutter cleaning in Bettendorf covers cleaning, flushing the downspouts and small repairs on the same visit.

Questions Bettendorf homeowners ask us

Do I need 5-inch or 6-inch gutters?

It depends on how much roof drains into each run and how steep it is. Many homes are fine with 5-inch. Larger or steeper roofs, and houses with valleys that funnel water to one corner, often need 6-inch. We measure before we quote.

Should I repair my gutters or replace them?

If the gutters are seamless and mostly sound, a repair is usually enough. If they're sectional, leaking at several joints or pulling the fascia loose, replacement tends to cost less over the next few years.

What are the best gutter guards for snow in Bettendorf?

For snow and ice we usually recommend Hydro Flo. It's our strongest guard, with stainless steel mesh over an aluminum base. Elite Screen works well where leaves and maple seeds are the main problem.

How do I compare gutter companies in Bettendorf?

Ask each one whether the gutters are seamless and formed on site, which size they recommend and why, how they size the downspouts, and what the warranty covers. A good company will answer all four without hesitating.
