Gutter Repair in Hickory, NC
Veteran-owned, CertainTeed & Owens Corning certified, serving Hickory and 9 NC counties since 1995.
Gutter Repair That Fixes the Cause, Not Just the Symptom
A gutter that overflows is telling you something, and it is not always "clean me." It might be clogged — or it might be sagging, pitched the wrong way, undersized for the roof above it, or leaking at every seam. Cleaning a gutter that is fundamentally the wrong size will not stop it overflowing.
S&S Roofing repairs gutter systems across Hickory, Catawba County, and the NC Foothills. We diagnose why the system is failing and fix that, rather than clearing the debris and leaving you with the same problem next season.

Our Gutter Repair Services
Leak & Seam Sealing
Sectional gutters leak at their joints. We reseal failing seams and end caps — and where the seams have failed repeatedly, we will tell you honestly that a seamless replacement will cost less over time than continuing to chase them.
Sagging Gutter Correction
Sag comes from failed or under-spaced hangers, or from rotted fascia that no longer holds a fastener. We fix the underlying cause — refastening into sound wood — rather than propping up the symptom.
Re-Pitching & Slope Correction
A gutter that does not fall toward its downspouts holds standing water, which breeds mosquitoes, adds weight, and accelerates the failure of every seam in the run.
Clog Removal & Cleaning
Debris removal from gutters and downspouts, including flushing the drops to confirm they actually run clear rather than assuming they do.
Downspout Repair & Reconfiguration
Detached, crushed, blocked, or badly placed downspouts. If the discharge is dumping against the foundation, we move it.
Fascia & Soffit Repair
Chronic overflow rots the wood behind the gutter. We repair or replace the damaged fascia and soffit so the system has something solid to hang from.
Benefits of Timely Gutter Repair
Prevents Foundation and Crawlspace Water
An overflowing gutter concentrates roof runoff at the base of your wall. That is exactly where you least want it, and it is a leading cause of crawlspace moisture in this region.
Saves the Fascia Board
Water running behind a failed gutter rots fascia quickly. Repairing the gutter early is far cheaper than replacing the wood it destroys.
Stops Interior Water That Looks Like a Roof Leak
Backed-up gutters push water up under the shingle edge and into the wall. We see this diagnosed as a roof leak regularly when the actual failure is six inches lower.
Protects Landscaping and Hardscape
Concentrated overflow erodes beds, craters mulch, and stains walkways and siding.
Cheap Compared to What It Prevents
Gutter repair is one of the least expensive line items in home maintenance and prevents some of the most expensive damage.
Extends the Whole System's Life
Correcting slope, resecuring hangers, and clearing drops takes strain off every component and buys years of additional service.

Why does my gutter overflow even after cleaning?
Usually because the gutter is undersized for the roof feeding it, or because the pitch is wrong and water is not reaching the downspouts. Cleaning a gutter that is fundamentally too small will not stop it overflowing in a hard rain. That is a sizing problem, not a debris problem.
Can a sagging gutter be repaired or does it need replacing?
Usually repaired. Sag typically comes from failed or under-spaced hangers, or rotted fascia that will no longer hold a fastener. Fix the fascia and refasten properly and the run is generally fine.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
At least twice a year, and more often with heavy tree cover. Fall is non-negotiable in this region; a spring clearing after winter debris is strongly advised.
My gutter leaks at the joints. What are my options?
Seams can be resealed, and that is often the right first step. But if you are resealing the same joints repeatedly, sectional gutters are simply doing what they do — at that point seamless replacement usually costs less over time than the ongoing repairs.
Is water in my crawlspace a gutter problem?
Very often, yes. A large share of crawlspace moisture in this region originates at the roofline — overflowing gutters or downspouts discharging too close to the house. It is always worth checking the gutters before spending money on the crawlspace.
Do you repair the fascia behind the gutter?
Yes. Rotted fascia is both a cause and a consequence of gutter failure, and there is no point refastening a gutter to wood that cannot hold a screw. We repair or replace it as part of the work.
How much does gutter repair cost?
Far less than what it prevents. Actual cost depends on the extent — resealing a few seams is minor; re-pitching a run or replacing rotted fascia is more involved. On-site assessment is free.
Should I repair or just replace the gutters?
We will tell you straight. If the system is sized correctly and structurally sound, repair it. If it is undersized, chronically leaking at every seam, or hanging from failed wood, replacement is the cheaper answer over any reasonable time horizon.
