Gutter repair, rehangs and fascia work
Most gutter problems are not the gutter. They are a hanger that let go, a corner that dried out, a run that lost its pitch, or a fascia board that rotted behind a leak. Each of those has a fix that does not mean new gutters.
Sagging and pulling away usually trace back to the hangers. Older gutters were hung with spikes driven through the front into the fascia, and spikes back out over years of wet and dry. The fix is hidden hangers screwed into solid wood about every two feet, with the run rehung straight.
Leaks at the corners and end caps are the sealant giving up. Mitered corners and caps are the only joints on a seamless run, and after enough summers the old sealant cracks. They get cleaned down to bare metal and resealed with gutter sealant that stays flexible.
A run that holds water after the rain has stopped has lost its pitch. A gutter should fall about a quarter inch for every ten feet toward the downspout. Re-pitching means resetting the hangers so the water moves again.
When a gutter has leaked long enough, the fascia behind it goes soft and the soffit under it stains or sags. Jose's crew replaces the rotted fascia and soffit before the gutter goes back up, so the new hangers bite into solid wood. Leave your address, and when Jose calls the same day, tell him what you are seeing. A photo texted to (918) 600-9308 helps, and if the repair needs a look in person he will say so on the call.
A repair is the right call when the gutter itself is sound aluminum and the problem is a hanger, a corner, the pitch, or the wood behind it. Replacement is the right call when the metal is rusted through, when the gutter is steel or sectional with leaks at every joint, or when there are so many sags and splits that fixing them one at a time is more trouble than a new seamless run. Text Jose a photo and he tells you which one it is when he calls.

From Jose's jobs
Questions people ask
My gutters are pulling away from the house. Can they be saved?
Usually. If the aluminum is straight and sound, the run gets rehung on new hidden hangers screwed into the fascia. If the fascia behind it is soft, that board gets replaced first so the hangers have something to hold.
Water drips between the gutter and the house. What is that?
Either the gutter is hung too low to catch the water coming off the drip edge, or the back of the gutter has pulled away from the fascia. Both are hanger and pitch fixes, not a new gutter.
Do you fix fascia and soffit?
Yes. Rotted fascia and damaged soffit get replaced and the gutter goes back up on solid wood. Leave your address and say what you are seeing in the note on the form, and Jose calls the same day.
