Reliable Gutters. Better Protection for Your Home.

Your gutter system helps direct rainwater away from your roof, siding, and foundation. At Faylor Construction, we offer 5-inch and 6-inch gutters, along with gutter protection options to help keep water flowing. Family-owned and serving Northeast Indiana and Northwest Ohio since 1986, we’re here to help you choose a system that fits your home.

5-Inch Gutters

A practical choice for many homes, 5-inch gutters provide effective drainage when properly sized and installed. Their traditional profile complements a variety of exteriors while collecting roof runoff and directing it toward your downspouts.

Our team can evaluate your roof’s size, pitch, and layout to determine whether 5-inch gutters are the right fit for your home.

6-Inch Gutters

For roofs that collect and channel larger volumes of rainwater, 6-inch gutters offer additional capacity. Their wider profile can be particularly helpful for larger roof areas, steep rooflines, and locations where multiple roof sections direct water into one area.

Combined with appropriately sized and positioned downspouts, 6-inch gutters can help manage heavier runoff. Faylor Construction can help you determine where that extra capacity would benefit your home.

Gutter Toppers & Protection

Spend less time clearing leaves and debris with gutter protection designed to help keep your system flowing. Gutter toppers and guards help limit debris buildup while allowing rainwater to enter the gutters and drain through the downspouts.

Gutter protection can be especially helpful around trees, where leaves, twigs, and other debris contribute to recurring clogs. While no system eliminates all maintenance, the right protection can reduce cleaning needs. Our team can help you select an option suited to your gutters, roof, and surrounding landscape.

Signs It May Be Time to Replace Your Gutters

Worn or damaged gutters can allow water to collect where it shouldn’t. Watch for these signs that your system needs attention:

  • Cracks, holes, or recurring leaks: Water escaping through damaged sections or joints can affect nearby siding, trim, and landscaping.

  • Sagging or pulling away: Gutters that separate from the roofline may have damaged hangers, excessive debris, or deteriorating fascia behind them.

  • Frequent overflow: Water spilling over the edges may indicate clogs, improper slope, inadequate capacity, or downspout issues.

  • Rust or corrosion: Widespread deterioration can weaken gutters and lead to leaks.

  • Standing water: Water remaining in the gutters after rain may point to poor drainage or an alignment problem.

  • Pooling water or soil erosion: Puddles near the foundation or washed-out landscaping can indicate that runoff isn’t being directed away effectively.

  • Water stains or rotting trim: Repeated moisture exposure along the roofline may be a sign your gutters aren’t working properly.

Signs Your Gutter Toppers or Protection Need Attention

Even gutter protection needs occasional inspection and maintenance. It may be time to repair or replace your toppers or guards if you notice:

  • Bent, cracked, or missing sections: Damaged protection can leave openings for debris or interfere with water flow.

  • Loose or lifting edges: Guards that no longer fit securely may need adjustment, reattachment, or replacement.

  • Repeated clogs beneath the protection: Frequent debris buildup may indicate gaps, damage, or a system poorly suited to the debris around your home.

  • Water running over the top: If rainwater consistently bypasses the gutter, the protection may be blocked, improperly installed, or unsuitable for the runoff.

  • Rusting or deteriorating materials: Worn components can compromise the system’s fit and performance.

Not every issue requires a full replacement. Cleaning, adjustments, or targeted repairs may resolve the problem. Faylor Construction can evaluate your gutters and protection to help you understand your options.
