Gutters don’t get much attention, until they fail. When your gutter system isn’t working properly, water ends up where it shouldn’t: pooling around your foundation, seeping into your basement, eroding your landscaping, or damaging your fascia and soffit. A properly installed gutter system is one of the most important defenses your home has against water damage.
When Martin Exteriors replaces your roof or siding, we can install new gutters as part of the same project for homes and businesses throughout Rockford, Roscoe, and the surrounding area. Gutters are an add-on to our roof and siding work, so every gutter we put up is matched to a new roof or new siding.
Seamless Gutters for Your Roof or Siding Project
When gutters are part of your roof or siding project, we install custom-fabricated seamless gutters, formed on-site from a single piece of aluminum to fit your home’s exact dimensions. Seamless gutters have fewer joints than sectional systems, which means fewer leak points and a cleaner appearance.
Every gutter add-on includes:
- Custom measurements for a precise fit
- Heavy-gauge aluminum for long-lasting durability
- Color matching to complement your home’s exterior
- Proper slope and placement to ensure efficient water flow
- Secure mounting with hidden hangers for a clean look
Gutter Guards on the Same Project
When new gutters go on with your roof or siding, you can add gutter guards at the same time. Guards keep leaves and debris out while letting water flow freely, which means fewer clogs and less upkeep for your new gutters.
How Gutters Connect to Your Roof
Your roof and gutter system work as a team. A failing gutter can cause water to back up under your shingles, leading to roof damage, rot, and leaks. That’s why we often evaluate gutters during our free roof inspections, and why it makes sense to address both at the same time during a roof replacement or siding project.
Gutters Installed With Your New Roof or Siding
The best time to put up new gutters is while we are already working on your roof or siding. The roof edge, fascia and gutters all meet in the same few inches, so doing them together means everything lines up and gets finished on one schedule, by one team, with one point of contact.
With a new roof
During a roof replacement, the old gutters usually come down anyway so we can reach the roof edge. That is the moment to check the fascia boards behind them, swap out anything soft, and hang new gutters that line up with the new roof edge. Water that runs off your new shingles lands right where it should, instead of behind a tired old gutter.
With new siding
New siding changes the whole look of a house. Adding gutters to the same project lets us color match them to your new James Hardie or vinyl siding and trim, so the gutters look like part of the design instead of an afterthought. Downspouts get placed where they work with the new siding and carry water away from your foundation.
What Comes With a Gutter Add-On
When gutters are part of your roof or siding project, you get the same setup described above:
- Seamless aluminum gutters formed on-site to fit your home
- Color matched to your new roof, siding and trim
- Proper slope so water moves to the downspouts
- Hidden hangers for a clean, secure look
- Downspouts placed to send water away from the foundation
- Gutter guards available as an option on the same project
Gutters show up as their own line on your written roof or siding estimate, so you can see exactly what you are getting before anything is scheduled.

Gutters With Your Roof or Siding: FAQ
Can you install new gutters when you replace my roof?
Yes. The old gutters usually come down during a roof replacement anyway, so it is the ideal time to check the fascia and hang new gutters that line up with the new roof edge. See roof replacement.
Can you add gutters to a new siding project?
Yes. We can add gutters to your siding project and color match them to your new James Hardie or vinyl siding and trim, so everything looks like it belongs together. See siding.
What gutters do you use when you replace a roof or siding?
When gutters are part of your roof or siding project, we install seamless aluminum gutters formed on-site to fit your home, color matched to the new exterior, with proper slope and hidden hangers.
Can I add gutter guards when you do my roof or siding?
Yes. If gutters are part of your roof or siding project, gutter guards can go on at the same time.
Why do gutters and the roof edge matter together?
Your roof and gutters work as a team. A gutter that does not line up with the roof edge can send water behind it, toward the fascia and soffit. Doing both at once lets us fix the whole edge in one project.
Is financing available?
Yes. Financing is available on roof and siding projects, including gutters added to them, with payments as low as $149/month for qualified buyers. Call (815) 624-6278 for a free roof or siding estimate.
