When a hard spring storm rolls through, you can tell right away whether your gutters are working. Water pours over the front edge, a downspout gurgles and backs up, or a puddle forms against the foundation that’s still there the next morning. If that sounds like your house, it’s time to look at your gutters in Republic, MO as part of the roof, not an afterthought.

White seamless gutter and downspout at the roof edge

Gutters are easy to ignore until something goes wrong, and by then the damage tends to be somewhere else: a soggy flower bed, a damp basement corner or soft wood behind the gutter. You want a system that handles the rain your roof actually collects, installed by someone who looks at the whole picture.

APC Roofing is a GAF Certified roofing contractor, licensed and insured, and rain gutters are one of our core services. Estimates are free. Call 913-398-5020 to have your roofline looked at.

What a gutter system actually includes

A gutter system is more than the trough along the roof edge. Each part has a job, and a weak link anywhere causes trouble.

Gutters catch water off each roof edge and carry it toward the downspouts.
Downspouts bring the water down to the ground. Too few or too small, and the gutters overflow no matter how big they are.
Hangers hold the gutter to the fascia. Their spacing decides whether a full gutter, or one loaded with ice, stays straight.
Drip edge is the metal strip at the bottom of the roof that sends water into the gutter instead of behind it.
Fascia is the board the gutter hangs on. If it’s rotten, nothing attached to it will hold.
Extensions and splash blocks carry water away from the foundation once it reaches the ground.

Gutter services in Republic, MO

New gutter installation

If your gutters are old, undersized or falling apart, new gutters sized to your roof are the long-term fix. Our gutter installation in Republic page covers sizing, downspout placement and pitch.

Seamless gutters

Seamless gutters are formed on site from one continuous piece of aluminum for each straight run, so there are no joints along the run to leak. They’re the most common choice for homes today. See seamless gutters in Republic for more.

Rain gutters and drainage

Where the water goes after it leaves the roof matters as much as catching it. Our rain gutters in Republic page focuses on downspouts, extensions and keeping water away from your foundation.

Fascia and soffits

APC also works on fascia and soffits, so rotted boards behind an old gutter can be replaced when the new gutters go up.

What Republic weather does to gutters

Southwest Missouri gets heavy spring and summer thunderstorms that drop a lot of rain in a short time. Gutters that were fine in a light shower can overflow in those bursts, especially at inside corners where two roof slopes send water into the same spot.

Hail dents gutters and crushes downspouts, and dented gutters don’t drain the way they should. Many homeowners don’t notice gutter damage until a roofer points it out after a storm.

Winter brings ice. Snow melts on the roof during a sunny day, runs into the gutters and refreezes overnight. The weight can bend hangers and pull gutters away from the fascia, and a gutter packed with ice can’t carry the next melt. Ice-filled gutters can also add to ice dams along the eaves.

Signs your gutters need attention

You can spot most gutter problems from the ground:

Water spilling over the front edge during a steady rain
Gutters that sag, tilt or pull away from the house
Peeling paint, stains or rot on the fascia and siding below the gutter
Puddles or washed-out soil along the foundation
Dents or crushed downspouts after a hailstorm

Gutters and your roof work together

Every drop that lands on your roof ends up at the gutters. A drip edge installed wrong sends water behind the gutter and into the fascia. A new roof with old, mismatched gutters can leave gaps at the edge. If you’re planning a roof replacement in Republic, it’s a good time to replace the gutters too, so the two are built to work together.

Gutter questions from Republic homeowners

Do gutters really matter on my house?

Yes. Without them, rain pours off the eaves and lands next to the foundation, where it can erode soil and find its way into a basement or crawl space.

What gutter material do you recommend?

Aluminum is the most common choice for homes. It doesn’t rust, it’s light and it can be formed into seamless runs on site.

Can hail damage gutters?

Yes. Hail dents gutters and downspouts, and the damage often shows up alongside roof damage after the same storm. An inspection after a big storm will cover both.

Should I replace my gutters with my roof?

It’s often a smart time to. The drip edge and gutters can be fitted together properly, and you deal with the roofline once.

Isa Romero

Jose was referred to me by my mother to assist with my roofing needs. He was able to explain the process throughly and go to my home timely to inspect it. He made the initial process easy and was able to make me feel comfortable in submitting the claim.

Joe Montes

Great people and very professional. Michael Pagano was honest and upfront with me every step of the way, and I believe gave me a fair price. And he wasn’t pushy! Some of the other companies I got estimates from were either way overpriced with pushy salesmen, and another company I suppose hates money because they never showed up to even give me an estimate! I upgraded my 20 year old shingle roof to metal. I am pleased with the results. Would recommend!

Jeff Clark

Great experience. Charlie came out, found our leak and did a roof inspection. Pointed out some issues, but nothing to be worried about right now. Honest company. Will definitely call for any roof issues in the future.

Eli Bonilla

Thank you, Jose Irizarry! We are so glad to have had you inspect our roof for damages. Thank you for your honesty and for giving us peace of mind knowing that our roof is structurally sound. While we could not file a claim at this time, we will absolutely recommend you to our family and friends. Jose came to us highly recommended by a family member whom he assisted during their roof replacement.

I had a great experience working with APC Roofing, especially Jose Irizarry, who was my main point of contact throughout the process. Jose was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and kept me informed every step of the way. I really appreciated how easy he made the process and how willing he was to answer my questions. Having Jose as my point person gave me confidence that everything was being handled properly. I’m very happy with the service I received and would highly recommend Jose Irizarry and APC Roofing to anyone looking for a professional and dependable roofing company.

Darren Poythress

Our great friends referred us to APC and gave us Jose Irizarry’s number. Jose responded quickly with his inspector Ian to our storm damage concerns. Upon arrival they jumped right into documenting damages and getting through the claims process with our insurance.

Vincent Hasenstaub has helped us every step of the way in the process of getting our new roof. He is very professional knowledgeable and cares about his customers. I would recommend using Vincent as a sales person because he has the best interest for his customers and he is an asset to his company.

Vincent was very professional and knowledgeable.

Jordan Hanson

Vincent answered every question I had about the roofing process and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. He was knowledgeable, patient, and professional from start to finish. What I appreciated most was that he took the time to make sure I understood what to expect throughout the entire process. From the initial inspection, working with the insurance company, all the way to the roof replacement itself. He was there every step of the way, kept me informed, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel simple and straightforward. That level of communication and customer service goes a long way with me. I highly recommend Vincent if you’re looking for someone you can trust.

Nancy heyboer

José Irizarry came one day to my door. He and Jesús inspected our roof and I told them my insurance denied a claim already. They helped me see that I couldn’t give up. I’m glad I didn’t give up and listened to him. Jose explained every process that was needed before and after approval. If in doubt give APC roofing a call and if you get Jose, he will help you out. They are for the homeowner. The process of putting on a roof is next. I’ll write a review on how that went after the job is done.
