Gutter Installation in Cedar Rapids, IA

Seamless Gutters Built for Cedar Rapids Weather, Backed by a Lifetime Guarantee

From spring downpours to ice and snowmelt, Cedar Rapids homes put their gutters to work all year. When a gutter system sags, leaks or dumps water next to the foundation, the damage shows up later in the fascia, the siding and the basement. Tomlinson Cannon has installed gutters in Eastern Iowa since 1948. Gutters are the service we started with, and every system we install is backed by our lifetime guarantee.

Why Gutter Installation Matters in Cedar Rapids

Your gutters are your home’s first line of defense against water damage. Without a properly installed system, rainwater can:

• Pool around your foundation, leading to cracks, leaks and foundation settling
• Cause basement flooding
• Erode landscaping and walkways
• Rot fascia boards and roof edges
• Stain siding and exterior trim

Cedar Rapids also carries the legacy of the August 2020 derecho. Many homes got emergency roof and fascia repairs that were never fully followed up. If your home had storm work done in that period, we check the fascia before new gutters go up, because hanging seamless gutters on patched wood just moves the failure point a few years down the road.

Our Gutter Installation Services

Seamless Aluminum Gutters, Formed On Site

Our seamless gutters are custom-formed on site to your home’s exact measurements. No joints along the run means fewer leaks. We install 5" and 6" aluminum seamless gutters: 5" suits most rooflines, and we recommend 6" heavy-duty aluminum for steep roofs, homes under mature trees, or roofs that shed a lot of water. Gutters come in a range of colors to match your trim.

Hidden Hangers, Not Spikes

Older systems were hung with spikes that loosen through Iowa’s freeze-thaw cycles, until the gutters sag and pull away. We use heavy-duty hidden hangers screwed into the fascia at consistent intervals, so the system stays tight for decades and there are no visible nails or screws.

Downspouts Placed to Protect Your Foundation

We don’t just replace what was there. We look at your roofline, slopes and drainage, then place downspouts and extensions so water is carried well away from the house. Cedar Rapids sits on heavy clay soil that swells when wet, so getting water away from the foundation matters as much as catching it.

Gutter Replacement and Upgrades

If your current gutters are rusted, sagging or pulling away from the fascia, we remove them cleanly and replace them with a seamless system that drains properly and looks better. If the fascia is soft or rotted, our soffit and fascia team handles it as part of the same project.

Gutter Guards

Tired of cleaning out leaves? We can add gutter guards in Cedar Rapids when your new gutters go in, to keep debris out and water flowing.

Signs It’s Time for New Gutters

• Cracks, rust spots or open seams
• Water overflowing even in light rain
• Water stains on siding or fascia
• Gutters pulling away from the house
• Pooling water or settling near your foundation

Some problems only need a fix rather than a new system. If that’s you, see our gutter repair in Cedar Rapids. For seasonal cleanouts, see gutter cleaning in Cedar Rapids.

What Does Gutter Installation Cost?

For a typical home with 150 to 200 linear feet of gutter, most standard 5" and 6" aluminum seamless installations in our area run $1,200 to $3,500. The final number depends on the material, the linear footage and roofline, the number of downspouts, and whether the fascia needs repair. Our guide to seamless gutter installation cost breaks it down. We walk the property before quoting, so the number you get is a real one.

Gutter Installation FAQ

How long does a gutter installation take?

Most standard installs on a single-family home are finished in a day, because seamless gutters are formed on site to your exact lengths.

Should I get 5" or 6" gutters?

5" aluminum works for most rooflines. We recommend 6" heavy-duty aluminum for steep roofs, large roof areas or homes under mature trees. Our guide to 5-inch vs. 6-inch gutters explains the difference.

Do I need new downspouts when I replace my gutters?

Not always, but it’s the right time to check. If your current downspouts drop water close to the foundation, we’ll recommend moving them or adding extensions.

What if my fascia is damaged?

Gutters hang on the fascia, so soft or rotted boards need to be repaired before new gutters go up. We inspect the fascia as part of every quote.
