Gutter installation in Baltimore, MD, sized and pitched to the roof
A gutter is part of the roof’s drainage, not an accessory bolted to the fascia. We size it to what your roof actually sheds and pitch it so the water leaves the house.

Why gutters fail on roofs that are otherwise fine
Almost no gutter fails because the gutter itself was a bad product. It fails because it was fitted as an afterthought: the size the van happened to carry, hung on whatever board was there, with whatever fall looked about right.
Size is the first mistake. A standard 5-inch gutter is fine on a small simple roof and hopelessly overwhelmed by a large steep one in a Maryland summer downpour, where the water arrives faster than the outlet can take it. The gutter then overflows at the back edge, behind the fascia where you cannot see it, and rots the board it is screwed to.
Pitch is the second. Too little fall and the gutter holds water and silt, which is weight the hangers were never meant to carry through a freeze. Too much and it overshoots the outlet in heavy rain and looks wrong from the street.
The third is where the water goes next. A downspout that empties at the base of a wall has only moved the problem to your foundation. And if a reroof is coming, that is the moment to replace the gutters too: the fascia is exposed during a roof replacement and the access is already paid for.

How gutters actually fail
What goes wrong with gutters
Almost none of it is the product. Nearly all of it is how it was sized and hung.
Then do the gutters at the same time. The fascia is already exposed and doing it as one job costs meaningfully less than two separate visits.

What homeowners say about our gutter work
“It’s been great working with Dmitry and Bravo roofing for several years now. They did a full tear off and replace of my flat roof back in 2019. I had a leak last year and Dmitry came out to inspect. He found that an old roof antenna had fallen off and punctured it.”
Tony DeBraccio · Google“I highly recommend Bravo for any kind of roof repair or construction. Dmitry, the business owner, is meticulous and detailed. He personally assessed the leaking overhang roof in our old house and delivered a thorough and economical solution.”

Straight answers
Gutter installation questions we get asked
What size gutters do I need?
It depends on your roof area and pitch, which is why we work it out rather than defaulting to 5-inch. A large or steep roof usually needs 6-inch and larger outlets, otherwise it overflows at the back edge in a downpour and rots the fascia.
Are seamless gutters worth it?
Yes, for the reason you would expect: joins are where gutters leak, so having fewer of them helps. They are formed on site to the exact run length. It is not a dramatic upgrade, but it is a real one.
Why is water coming over the back of my gutter?
Usually the gutter is undersized for the roof, the outlet is too small or blocked, or the roof edge is not directing water into the gutter at all. Each has a different fix, which is why we look before quoting a replacement.
Should I replace my gutters when I replace my roof?
Often, yes. The fascia is exposed during a reroof, so any rot can be dealt with properly and the new gutters go up cleanly. Doing both as one job costs meaningfully less than two separate visits.
Do you do gutter guards?
We will fit them and we will also tell you honestly that they reduce cleaning rather than eliminate it, and that a poorly fitted guard can make an overflow worse. Under heavy tree cover they earn their money.
