Gutters are the unsung heroes of your roofing system. Cornerstone Roofing Co. installs, repairs, and maintains seamless aluminum and copper gutters that channel Chicago's heavy rainfall and snowmelt safely away from your foundation.
Chicago receives an average of 38 inches of rain and 35 inches of snow annually, and every drop of that precipitation lands on your roof before flowing toward the edge. Without a properly sized and functioning gutter system, that water cascades directly off the eaves, saturating the soil around your foundation, eroding landscaping beds, staining siding, and pooling in window wells. Over time, this uncontrolled runoff leads to basement flooding, foundation cracking, and thousands of dollars in preventable damage.
Cornerstone Roofing Co. designs and installs seamless gutter systems custom-fabricated on site from a single piece of aluminum or copper. Seamless gutters eliminate the joints and seams where sectional gutters fail, reducing leaks and improving water flow. Our on-site forming machine produces gutters cut to the exact length of each fascia run, which means fewer connection points and a cleaner appearance.
We size every gutter system based on your roof's square footage, slope, and the number of downspout discharge points needed to handle peak rainfall intensity. In areas with mature tree canopy, common in neighborhoods like Evanston, Oak Park, and Glenview, we recommend gutter guard systems that prevent leaf and debris accumulation while allowing water to flow freely. Our guards are compatible with every gutter profile we install and can be retrofitted to existing systems.
Gutter repair is equally important. Sagging sections, separated joints, rusted-through spans, and improperly pitched runs are common problems on Chicago homes, especially older properties in the city's bungalow belt. Our crews rehang, reseal, and replace damaged gutter sections efficiently, ensuring your system drains correctly before the next rainstorm arrives.
We evaluate your roof area, slope, and current drainage patterns to determine the optimal gutter size (5-inch or 6-inch), downspout placement, and discharge routing for your property.
Choose from over 30 aluminum colors or premium copper. We help you match your gutter color to your roof, trim, and siding for a cohesive exterior appearance.
Our portable forming machine creates seamless gutter runs on your driveway, cut precisely to fit each section of your roofline. No factory pre-cuts, no unnecessary joints.
Gutters are mounted with hidden hangers spaced at 24-inch intervals for maximum strength against ice and snow loads. Downspouts are secured and routed to discharge water away from the foundation.
Micro-mesh or surface-tension gutter guards are installed to keep leaves, pine needles, and shingle granules out while allowing full water flow. Guards dramatically reduce maintenance frequency.
