Gutter installation in Tacoma
Gutter installation built for 40 inches of South Sound rain
A new gutter system here has to handle months of steady rain, fir and cedar needles, and fascia that never fully dries out. Here is how we build one that does.
Tacoma gets roughly 37 to 40 inches of rain a year, and it doesn’t show up politely. It comes in long, soaking stretches from October through March, with atmospheric rivers that can drop an inch or more in a single day. A 2,000 square foot roof sheds about 1,250 gallons for every inch of rain, which adds up to somewhere around 46,000 to 50,000 gallons a year that your gutters have to catch and carry away from the house.
That volume is why we don’t sell a one-size system. Before anything gets formed, a Solutionist from the Edwards family’s Tacoma team measures every run, looks at the roof pitch and the trees overhead, checks the fascia the gutter will hang on, and plans where each downspout will send its water. Then the gutter is rolled from coil stock on our truck, right in your driveway, to the exact length of each run.
Most failing systems we replace in the South Sound have the same three problems: they’re too small for the rain, they’re hung on wood that has gone soft, or the downspouts dump water right back against the house. A new install is the moment to fix all three.
Signs it’s time for new gutters, not another repair
- Spike-and-ferrule hangers backing out of the fascia. That’s an older system, and re-spiking softened wood rarely makes it through another winter.
- Sectional gutters that drip at the joints no matter how many times they’ve been caulked.
- Runs that overflow in steady rain even right after a cleaning, which usually points to capacity or pitch, not debris.
- Soft, dark or split fascia behind the gutter, or paint peeling in streaks below it.
- Moss, mildew or a muddy trench along the foundation under a downspout or overflow point.
- Galvanized steel rusting through, or aluminum bent and patched so many times it no longer holds its shape.
How we size a gutter system for South Sound rain
Every home gets measured, but these are the patterns we see most often. A Solutionist confirms the right setup on site and puts it in a written estimate.
| What we see on your house | What we usually recommend | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Typical single-family roof, moderate pitch, few trees overhead | 5-inch K-style seamless aluminum | Handles Tacoma rain on most homes when the pitch and downspout spacing are right. |
| Steep roof, large roof planes or long runs feeding one corner | 6-inch K-style with 3×4 downspouts | A 6-inch gutter carries about 40 percent more water, and a 3×4 downspout has twice the opening of a 2×3. |
| Tall firs or cedars over the roofline | Add BroGuard fine metal mesh | Needles drop year-round here. Mesh keeps them out while the rain still gets in. |
| Downspouts dumping by the foundation, a walkway or a slope | Extensions, rerouted downspouts or underground drainage | Water that leaves the gutter still has to leave the house. Where it lands matters as much as the gutter. |
| Shops, barns and commercial buildings | 6 or 7 inch seamless, see commercial gutters | Big roof areas move serious water in a South Sound downpour. |
What install day looks like
- The old system comes down.We remove the existing gutters and downspouts and haul them away.
- The fascia gets checked.Soft or rotted wood is flagged before new gutter goes on it, because new hangers can’t hold in bad wood.
- Gutter is formed on site.Each run is rolled from coil to the exact length, so there are no factory seams in the middle.
- Hung with the right fall.Hidden hangers go into solid fascia, and each run is pitched so it drains completely toward its outlet.
- Downspouts go where water can escape.Outlets and extensions are placed so water moves away from the foundation, walkways and crawl space vents.
- Flush test and walkthrough.We run water through the whole system, show you the results and clean up before we leave.

Our truck carries the gutter machine, so each run is formed in your driveway from coil stock and cut to the exact length of your roofline. That gives you one continuous piece per section, with seams only at the corners. The crew then hangs it, sets the downspouts and flush-tests the system before walking you through it.
Usually, yes. Spike and ferrule attachments and segmented construction mean a system is at least twenty years old, well past its typical lifespan. Spikes work loose from the roofline and the gutter starts to hang or sag. A Solutionist can confirm whether yours is past saving during a free estimate.
Summer, June through August, is the dry window we treat as install season for new seamless runs, fascia repair and downspout upgrades before the rain returns. Booking your estimate in spring gets you on that schedule. If your gutters are failing now, do not wait for summer: call (253) 777-1572.
You choose the size, profile, material and color, and downspout placement is planned around your home. Options include seamless aluminum in a wide range of colors, copper, galvanized steel and galvalume, in K-style or half-round. A Solutionist sizes the system to your roof and the rain it actually gets.
Yes. Downspout placement is part of the design, and a Solutionist will walk you through the options, including the pros and cons of each location and direction. Where water would dump near a walkway or foundation, it can be routed farther away or tied into underground drainage.
Water that is not carried away soaks siding, fascia and the soil against your foundation. That leads to interior leaks, basement flooding, foundation cracks, washed-out beds and walkways, and overflow that damages the roof edge. In a climate where rain falls for months, small failures add up fast.

They worked with me, giving me options on the locations and directions of the downspouts, explaining the pros and cons of each option. Their pricing was very competitive… I highly recommend their services, even if it is not the lowest price. You won’t regret it.”
