Your gutters are your home’s first line of defense against water damage. Without properly functioning gutters, rainwater cascades off your roof and pools around your foundation – leading to costly repairs that far exceed the cost of gutter installation.
Oklahoma receives 40+ inches of rain annually, plus spring severe storms and winter ice. Tulsa’s clay soil doesn’t absorb water well, making proper drainage critical. Without gutters:
Most common residential gutter. Flat back, decorative front (shaped like crown molding). Holds more water than half-round. Wide variety of materials and colors.
Semi-circular shape. Traditional look popular on historic homes. Easier to clean (smooth interior). Less likely to dent. Often used on upscale or period homes.
Built into the roof structure itself. Common on older homes and some commercial buildings. Usually larger capacity. Requires professional installation.
Lightweight, rust-proof, affordable. 20+ year lifespan. Comes in many colors. Can dent but doesn’t rust. Seamless aluminum is best – fewer leaks than sectional.
Stunning appearance that develops patina over time. Extremely durable (50+ years). Doesn’t rust. Highest cost but adds architectural character. Often used on high-end homes.
Strong and dent-resistant. Less expensive than copper. Can rust over time without maintenance. Heavy – requires sturdy hangers. Good for areas with heavy snow.
Lightest and cheapest option. Won’t rust or corrode. DIY-friendly. Cracks in extreme cold. Fades over time. Best for mild climates.
Standard residential: 5 inch K-style
Large homes or steep roofs: 6 inch K-style
Commercial or heavy rain areas: 6 inch half-round
Keep leaves and debris out. Types include:
Direct water away from foundation. Above-ground extensions are affordable. Underground extensions (French drains) are more involved but permanent.
Tulsa’s trees mean gutters fill with leaves, seeds, and debris. Clean at least twice yearly – spring and fall. Check more often if you have overhanging trees.
