WHY CHOOSE NED STEVENS?
Our technicians provide dependable gutter installation and gutter replacement services for homeowners in areas such as Fairfield, Waterbury, Dundalk, Richmond, Newark, and Woodstock. The staff at Ned Stevens uses the thickest gauge aluminum gutters in the industry, 0.032 gauge versus the thinner 0.027 gauge that other companies use. Thicker gauge gutters provide better performance and stability throughout the seasons. Southern states (NC, SC, and GA) still receive 0.027 gauge aluminum due to gutter supply constraints in those areas.
Additionally, the professionals at Ned Stevens custom make the gutters on site to fit your home, and only use hidden hangers to install gutters. Hidden hangers are the most effective and secure way to install gutters. Ned Stevens only uses stainless steel screws, which don’t rust.
Our technicians also offer gutters in a variety of colors including white, bronze, gray, black, clay, cream, and brown. All materials are guaranteed for 20 years and workmanship is guaranteed for one full year.

We do not recommend screening or gutter guards. Ned Stevens has searched for and experimented with all types of products that claim to prevent gutter clogs for nearly 60 years. In short, we’ve found that there’s no such thing as a “no clog” gutter.
We do sell and install gutter screens, but we stopped selling a top-of-the-line solid cover gutter guard. These systems allow debris in the gutters, they allow the water to pour off the top of gutters in heavy rain (which could lead to water in your basement), and they allow clogs. The screens we sell will keep out big debris, but let a significant amount of small debris into the gutters. This debris will cause clogs over time, and can even grow plants in the gutters. As such, even with screens, gutters need to be cleaned regularly.
The solution for gutter clogs is simple: clean the gutters on a regular schedule. You can do this by signing up for one of our ongoing service plans, and you won’t worry about your gutters again.
The gutters that Ned Stevens installs are guaranteed for 20 years, and include one year of workmanship warranty. This is due to our use of the thickest gauge aluminum gutters (0.032), stainless steel screws, and made-to-measure gutters & downspouts.
Since gutter cleaning is often considered a DIY task, some believe installation to be the same. Gutter replacement or installation is a very complex process that requires advanced skill, access to equipment, and adherence to safety practices. Those that are new to DIY projects should strongly consider hiring a professional.
Gutter installation professionals like Ned Stevens will know which materials will suit your home’s needs, how to measure and custom-fit the gutters to your roof, and how to safely secure the gutters so that they last for decades. Each step of this process can take DIYers extended time and visits to the hardware store. Ned Stevens can get it done in a few hours!
If you find that you’re consistently needing repair for your gutters, it may be the right time to install new gutters. Gutters with 6 or more areas of cracks, holes, and/or rust spots may be better off replaced. If you’re noticing broken fasteners, nails/screws on the ground, and/or overall separation, installation may be the solution.
Well-built gutters typically last for 20 years; if you know that your gutters are older than this, it may be time for gutter replacement. Consult with a gutter specialist before making a decision.
Gutters work on the principle of gravity. The gutter, when properly installed, sits on a small angle on the home. That angle causes the water to flow toward the downspout, eventually being carried away from your home’s foundation.
When a gutter goes “off pitch”, it has lost its angle, and therefore the water simply sits still in the gutter. That water has to go somewhere, and will eventually back up into the home or overflow and pour into the foundation. When backing up, the water also rots the wood behind the gutter (known as the “fascia board”), causing the gutter to eventually fall off the home. If the fascia rots, you will have to replace the gutter and the fascia.
Off pitch gutters can be caused by shifting foundations and the elements (including falling branches), but are often caused by clogs in the gutter. Once debris clogs the gutters, the water has nowhere to go, so it sits in the gutter. That gutter that was once around 20 pounds, now weighs over 300 pounds due to the weight of debris and water sitting in it. Eventually, it goes off pitch and has to be replaced.
The best way to prevent gutters from going off pitch is to clean them on a regular basis. Join our Service Plan, and protect your gutters and home today.
