Seamless Gutter Installation

A properly installed gutter system is one of your home’s most important defenses against rainwater damage.

When gutters aren’t functioning correctly, water can overflow or collect around foundations, damage landscaping, and contribute to deterioration of fascia boards and exterior surfaces.

The Gutter Guys® installs custom-fitted seamless gutters designed to provide dependable drainage while complementing your home’s appearance.

We offer both 5-inch and 6-inch seamless gutter systems, allowing us to recommend the appropriate size based on your home’s roof area, drainage requirements, and other conditions.

Our installations include properly sized and positioned downspouts to help move rainwater away from vulnerable areas of your property.

Specialty Gutters and Downspouts

For homeowners looking for alternatives to traditional aluminum gutters, we also offer specialty installations, including:

• Half-round gutters and downspouts — a distinctive architectural style that complements many traditional and custom homes.
• Copper gutters and downspouts — an attractive, durable option that develops a natural patina over time.
• 5-inch and 6-inch gutter systems — available to accommodate different rooflines, drainage needs, and architectural preferences.

Our experienced estimators can help you select a gutter system that balances performance, appearance, and long-term value.

GutterGard™ — Gutter Protection Without Filters or Screens

Have you ever heard of a filter that doesn’t eventually need to be cleaned or replaced?

That’s an important question when comparing gutter protection systems.

Many conventional gutter guards rely on screens, filters, or micro-mesh materials to prevent leaves and debris from entering the gutter.

Like all filters, these surfaces will accumulate dirt and debris and will require maintenance.

GutterGard™ takes a different approach.

Our exclusive GutterGard™ gutter protection system features a patented louvered design that directs rainwater into the gutter while allowing leaves and other debris to pass over the surface.

Unlike traditional filter-based gutter guards, GutterGard doesn’t rely on tiny openings that can become clogged with dirt and debris.

Maintenance From the Ground — Not the Roof

One of GutterGard’s most distinctive advantages is its simple maintenance.

Over time, leaves or other debris may collect on the louvers. Rather than requiring a homeowner to climb a ladder or access the roof, GutterGard can be maintained from the ground using a telescoping pole and specially designed brush.

Simply brushing the louvers removes accumulated surface debris.

We believe this is an important distinction between GutterGard and conventional gutter protection systems that typically require ladder or roof access for maintenance.

GutterGard™ offers homeowners a practical approach to gutter protection, combining an effective water-management design with easier, ground-level maintenance.

Professional Gutter Cleaning

Trees are an attractive feature of many neighborhoods in Columbia, Ellicott City, Elkridge, and surrounding communities. Unfortunately, falling leaves, twigs, and other debris can create problems for gutter systems.

When gutters become clogged, rainwater can overflow instead of flowing through the downspouts. This can lead to water collecting near foundations, damaged landscaping, and deterioration of exterior building materials.

Our professional gutter cleaning service removes accumulated debris and helps restore proper water flow.

Whether you need routine seasonal cleaning or have noticed water overflowing during heavy rain, our team can inspect your gutters and recommend the appropriate service.

Regular maintenance can also help identify developing gutter problems before they become more expensive repairs.

Gutter Repairs and Maintenance

Not every gutter problem requires a complete replacement.

Our experienced technicians can evaluate existing gutter systems and recommend practical repairs when appropriate.

Common issues include:

• Loose or sagging gutters
• Improperly pitched gutter sections
• Damaged gutters or downspouts
• Detached or poorly secured components
• Drainage problems caused by improper water discharge

Our gutter repair services are intended to restore proper function when a repair is practical.

If an existing system is severely deteriorated or no longer suitable for your home’s drainage needs, we’ll explain the available replacement options.

We also offer soffit and fascia services for homeowners dealing with deteriorated exterior trim associated with gutter and drainage problems.

Locally Owned. Backed by Experience Since 1988.

The Gutter Guys® serving Howard County is owned by Josh Shincarick and James Dennis, who together own all five of our Maryland offices.

Both Josh and James began their careers with The Gutter Guys long before becoming business owners.

Josh joined the company in 2003, starting as a gutter cleaner at our original New Jersey operation. He advanced through installation and estimating before relocating to Maryland in 2006 to help expand the company’s presence in the state.

James, a Maryland native, joined The Gutter Guys in 2007 as an estimator. He became an owner in 2018, and Josh joined him as a partner in 2021.

Their experience reflects one of the company’s longstanding traditions: developing knowledgeable employees and creating opportunities for them to become independent business owners.

Today, Josh and James combine their hands-on experience with the training, resources, and established reputation of The Gutter Guys®.

For homeowners in the Howard County area, that means working with a locally owned business supported by a company that has been serving customers since 1988.
