We install seamless aluminum gutters, gutter guards, soffit and fascia in Orland Park. Gutters are our highest-volume service, with more than 7,500 gutter customers.
Most of Orland Park was built between the 1970s and the 2000s. The older neighborhoods are full of brick ranches, raised ranches and split-levels, and the south and west sides have larger two-story homes from the 1990s onward.
The homes we work on in Orland Park
What a house needs depends mostly on when and how it was built. Here is what we find in Orland Park and how we handle it.
In the brick ranches, raised ranches and split-levels from the 1970s and 1980s, aluminum soffit and fascia from the original build is usually dented, faded or pulling loose, and the gutters behind it have been re-pitched more than once. We commonly replace gutters, soffit and fascia together on these homes so the whole roof edge is tight and vented.
On the south and west sides, in the two-story homes from the 1990s and 2000s, the builder hung 5-inch gutters with undersized downspouts on large, steep roofs, and in a heavy storm the water sheets right over the front edge. Upsizing to 6-inch gutters with 3x4 downspouts, and adding downspouts where long runs only have one, solves most overflow complaints on these houses.
On the larger custom-home lots, there is a lot of roof draining into relatively few gutter runs, with inside corners below valleys that take a concentrated stream of water. We size for that: 6-inch gutters, larger outlets, splash guards at the valleys and enough downspouts to move the water away from the foundation and walkout basement.
Signs your gutters are due
- Water pouring over the front edge in a normal rain. The gutter is clogged, undersized or pitched the wrong way.
- Sagging runs or gutters pulling away from the house. The hangers have let go or the fascia behind them has rotted.
- Drips at seams and corners. Sectional gutters fail at every joint eventually.
- Peeling paint or rot on the fascia and soffit. Water is getting behind the gutter.
- Washed-out mulch, settled soil or a damp basement wall below a downspout. The water is being dropped too close to the foundation.
Most of these can be seen from the ground during a rainstorm, which is the best time to look.
What we install
- Seamless aluminum gutters. Formed on site to the exact length of each run, in 5-inch and 6-inch sizes and a wide range of colors.
- Downspouts. Standard 2x3 or larger 3x4, with extensions that carry water away from the foundation.
- Gutter guards. Covers that keep leaves and seed pods out, so the gutters keep draining between cleanings.
- Soffit and fascia. Vented aluminum soffit and wrapped fascia that finish the roof edge and let the attic breathe.
Gutters are the cheapest protection a house has. When they overflow, water goes behind the siding, rots the fascia and soaks the soil next to the foundation. Not sure whether yours need replacing? Read when to replace gutters or compare gutter guard types.
How a gutters job runs
- Measure and plan. We measure each run, check the fascia and work out where downspouts should go so water leaves the house instead of pooling at a corner.
- Remove and repair. Old gutters come down and any rotted fascia is replaced before new material goes up.
- Form and hang. Gutters are run out of the machine in one piece per side, pitched toward the outlets and fastened with hidden hangers.
- Test and clean up. We run water through every section, check each joint and haul away the old metal.

Permits and scheduling in Orland Park
Permit rules are set by the Village of Orland Park, and they differ from town to town. We check what your project needs before we order, pull the permit when one is required and build the inspection into the schedule. If your home is in a designated historic district, exterior changes may also need design review, and we can provide the product details the reviewers ask for.
Gutters go up year-round except in ice. Fall is the busiest season, so booking before the leaves drop gets you an earlier date.
