Gutters might not be the most exciting part of your home, but they’re one of the most important systems for protecting your property from Louisiana’s intense rainfall. When gutters work properly, they channel thousands of gallons of water away from your foundation, preventing erosion, basement flooding, foundation damage, and landscape destruction. When gutters fail—clogged, sagging, leaking, or missing entirely—water pours off your roof and pools around your foundation, creating expensive problems that only get worse over time.
2C Roofing installs and repairs gutter systems throughout Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and Acadiana that are specifically designed to handle our region’s weather. Louisiana doesn’t get gentle drizzles—we get torrential downpours that dump inches of rain in hours. Our gutter installations are sized appropriately, use quality materials that won’t rust or corrode, and include proper drainage solutions to move water far away from your home’s foundation. Whether you need new gutters on a home or business, repairs to fix failing sections, or complete gutter replacement, we deliver systems that actually work in Louisiana’s challenging climate.
Why Gutters Matter in Louisiana
Foundation Protection: Water is your foundation’s worst enemy. When gutters dump water right next to your foundation, that water seeps into the soil, causes expansion and contraction with weather changes, and creates hydrostatic pressure against foundation walls. Over time this leads to cracks, settling, and even structural failure requiring tens of thousands in foundation repairs. Proper gutters move water 10-15 feet away from your foundation, eliminating this risk.
Prevents Basement and Crawl Space Flooding: Homes with basements or crawl spaces in Louisiana face constant moisture challenges. Failed gutters make it worse by directing roof runoff straight into the ground around your foundation perimeter. This water finds its way into basements and crawl spaces, creating flooding, mold growth, and property damage. Quality gutters with proper downspout placement keep water away from these vulnerable areas.
Protects Siding and Exterior Walls: When gutters overflow or are missing, water sheets down your home’s exterior walls. This constant moisture exposure damages siding, rots wood trim, causes paint to peel, and can lead to water intrusion into wall cavities where it damages insulation and framing. Gutters keep water off your walls and protect your home’s exterior.
Prevents Landscape Erosion: Louisiana gets enough rain to wash away landscaping quickly when roof runoff isn’t controlled. Gutters prevent erosion around your home’s perimeter, protect flower beds, and keep mulch and soil where they belong instead of washing into the street or neighbor’s yard.
Reduces Mosquito Breeding: Standing water around your foundation from poor drainage becomes mosquito breeding grounds—a serious concern in Louisiana. Proper gutter systems with good drainage eliminate these standing water areas.
Gutter Installation Services
The most popular choice for Louisiana homes, seamless aluminum gutters are custom-formed on-site to fit your home’s exact measurements. With no seams except at corners and downspouts, these gutters minimize leak points and look clean. Aluminum won’t rust, handles our climate well, and comes in numerous colors to match your home’s exterior. We install 5-inch and 6-inch seamless aluminum gutters depending on your roof size and drainage needs.
Tired of cleaning gutters multiple times per year? Gutter guards keep leaves, pine needles, and debris out while allowing water to flow freely. We install several types of gutter protection systems, from simple screens to advanced micro-mesh covers. While no system is completely maintenance-free, quality gutter guards dramatically reduce cleaning frequency and prevent the clogs that lead to overflow and damage.
Gutters are only half the system downspouts and extensions complete the job by carrying water away from your foundation. We size downspouts appropriately for water volume, ensure proper placement, and add extensions that move water at least 10 feet from your foundation. For properties with drainage challenges, we can install underground drainage systems that carry water even further away.
Every property is different. Some homes need extra-capacity 6-inch gutters to handle large roof areas. Others need custom fabricated sections for unique architectural features. Commercial properties often require specialized gutter systems to handle massive water volumes. We design and install custom gutter solutions for any situation throughout Lafayette and Baton Rouge.
Gutter Repair Services
Most gutter problems start small and worsen gradually until you’ve got significant damage and expensive repair bills. Common gutter issues we fix include:
Over time, the sealant at gutter seams and corners breaks down, creating leaks. We re-seal joints properly using quality sealants designed for outdoor exposure and temperature extremes. For severely damaged sections, we’ll replace them rather than patch failing materials.
Gutters pull away from the fascia board when hangers fail, when debris weight becomes excessive, or when water sits in sections that aren’t properly sloped. Sagging gutters don’t drain properly, hold standing water that attracts mosquitoes, and eventually collapse. We re-secure gutters with proper hangers spaced correctly and adjust slope for proper drainage.
Leaves, pine needles, shingle granules, and debris accumulate in gutters and block water flow. We clean gutters thoroughly, flush downspouts, and can install gutter guards to prevent future clogs. Regular cleaning prevents the overflow that damages fascia, soffit, and foundation.
Storms, falling branches, and ladder accidents damage gutter sections. We replace damaged segments with matching materials, ensuring seamless integration with your existing gutter system.
When gutters leak or overflow for extended periods, they often damage the fascia board they’re attached to. We repair or replace damaged fascia before re-installing gutters, ensuring you’ve got a solid mounting surface that will hold up for years.
Gutters need slight slope toward downspouts for proper drainage. Gutters installed level or sloped backward hold water, create mosquito breeding areas, and overflow during heavy rain. We adjust gutter pitch to ensure water flows where it should.
Signs You Need Gutter Repair or Replacement
Not sure if you need gutter repairs? Watch for these warning signs:
Water spilling over gutter edges during rain indicates clogs, improper slope, or undersized gutters for your roof area. Gutters pulling away from the house or sagging sections mean failed hangers or structural issues. Water stains on siding below gutters show overflow or leaks. Pools of water around your foundation after rain indicate gutters aren’t directing water away properly. Erosion or mulch washing away near downspouts means water isn’t being carried far enough from the foundation. Rust spots, holes, or cracks in gutters signal materials breaking down. Paint peeling on fascia or soffit indicates water damage from failed gutters.
If your gutters are showing multiple issues, are more than 20 years old, or if you’re repairing them frequently, replacement often makes more financial sense than continued repairs. New gutter systems come with warranties and will protect your home reliably for 20+ years with minimal maintenance.

Gutter Installation & Repair Questions
Gutter installation costs vary based on your home’s size, gutter style, and any additional features like gutter guards. For an average single-story home, expect $800-$2,000 for seamless aluminum gutters. Larger homes, two-story installations, or homes with complex rooflines cost more.

The best way to get accurate pricing is to schedule a free estimate we’ll measure your home, discuss options, and provide detailed pricing with no obligation.
Most Louisiana homes need 5-inch or 6-inch gutters to handle our heavy rainfall. Homes with large roof areas, steep pitches, or multiple roof valleys benefit from 6-inch gutters that handle higher water volume. Standard 4-inch gutters common in some regions can’t keep up with Louisiana downpours and overflow easily. We’ll assess your roof area and recommend appropriate sizing during your free estimate.
Most Louisiana homes need gutter cleaning 2-4 times per year depending on tree coverage. Homes with oak trees, pine trees, or heavy leaf coverage need more frequent cleaning—sometimes quarterly. Gutters clogged with debris overflow during heavy rain, causing the foundation and water damage they’re supposed to prevent. If you’re tired of frequent cleaning, gutter guards reduce maintenance significantly while keeping water flowing properly.
Yes, we install several types of gutter guard systems to reduce cleaning frequency and prevent clogs. Options range from basic screens to advanced micro-mesh systems. While no gutter guard is completely maintenance-free, quality systems dramatically reduce debris accumulation and make occasional cleaning much easier. We’ll recommend the best gutter guard option for your situation and budget during your estimate.
Quality aluminum gutters properly installed last 20-25+ years in Louisiana’s climate. Cheaper vinyl gutters crack and fail much sooner in our heat and UV exposure we don’t install them. Copper gutters can last 50+ years but cost significantly more. Steel gutters rust in our humid climate and aren’t recommended. We install aluminum gutters because they offer the best combination of durability, performance, and value for Louisiana homeowners.
