When Full Gutter Replacement Makes Sense
Most gutter problems can be repaired — but not all of them. There are situations where continuing to patch an aging or failing system costs more over time than replacing it, and where a
new gutter replacement in Denver gives you a substantially better result for the money.
Gutter replacement is the right call when multiple sections are failing simultaneously, when the system is over 20 years old and showing widespread joint failures and rust, when the existing gutters are the wrong size for your roofline and have never drained correctly, or when the cost of repairs approaches or exceeds 50 percent of a new installation.
Denver homes built in the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s often have original gutter systems that have been patched repeatedly over the decades. In neighborhoods like Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Northglenn, and Aurora where housing stock from that era is common, we regularly find systems that are simply past the point of reasonable repair. The joints are failing, the hangers have been redriven so many times the fascia wood is no longer holding, and the profile is too small for the roofline.
A full replacement means starting clean. New seamless gutters fabricated to the exact measurements of your roofline, new hangers properly seated in solid fascia, new downspouts positioned for the correct drainage path. When it's done right, you shouldn't need to think about your gutters again for 20 to 30 years.

Our Replacement Process
Gutter replacement with Mile High Gutter is a complete, clean process from start to finish.
Removal and Disposal: We remove your entire existing gutter system — gutters, downspouts, hangers, and straps — and haul everything away. We also inspect the fascia as we remove the old system and flag any areas that need attention before new gutters go up.
Fascia Assessment: Fascia that has been exposed to water intrusion from failing gutters often has soft spots, rot, or loose sections. We identify any fascia issues and can coordinate repair or replacement before installation proceeds. Installing new gutters over rotted fascia is one of the most common mistakes we see from homeowners who hire discount contractors.
On-Site Seamless Fabrication: We bring our fabrication equipment to your property and cut each gutter run to the exact length of your roofline from continuous coil stock. No joints except at corners and downspout connections.
Installation: Gutters are hung with hidden bracket hangers spaced to support a full load, pitched correctly toward each downspout, and sealed at all connections. Downspouts are positioned and secured, with extensions or splash blocks placed at exits if needed.
Cleanup: We remove all old materials, packaging, and debris. Your property is clean when we leave.
