Gutter Services in Greater Madison, WI & Rochester, MN
Gutters aren’t the most appealing part of your home, but they are one of its most important components. Your gutter system is there to protect your home from water damage. Without it, your home’s structural integrity would be compromised and you’d probably experience a great deal of mold damage. You invested a lot into your home, so why not protect it with a solid gutter system? At Larson Home Services, we offer industry-leading gutter services in Greater Madison and Rochester, ensuring your home stays protected year-round.
Why Gutter Services are Important for Your Home
Property owners aren’t always thinking about gutters. Property ownership is tough and there’s always a to-do list to tackle. But gutters shouldn’t always be on the back burner. So what do gutters do and why are they so important to maintain?
Your gutters help protect your home from severe damage. They redirect rainwater away from your home’s foundation, preventing costly water damage and erosion. Without functioning gutters, water can seep into your basement, weaken your home’s foundation, and destroy your landscaping—all that hard work, down the drain.
Our Gutter Services
Gutters need regular cleaning and maintenance to stay functional, but if your gutters are damaged beyond repair, then it’s time to consider replacing them. Larson Home Services is proud to offer both gutter installation and replacement services in the areas of Greater Madison and Rochester.
Gutter Installation Services
The unique part about our gutter installation services is that we install Gutter Shutter® gutters. Instead of welding pieces of metal together, we install a single seamless gutter system featuring an enclosed design. This helps protect your gutters from accumulating debris while also protecting them from leaks or damage.
Gutter Replacement Services
If your gutters are over 20 years old or showing signs of wear and tear, it might be time for a replacement. Larson Home Services will assess the condition of your gutters and work with you to determine the best gutter system for your home.
Choosing the Right Gutter System for Your Home
Not all gutters are created equal. Larson Home Services works with you to determine customized gutter solutions based on your needs and preferences. We always recommend our Gutter Shutter® gutter systems thanks to their virtually leak and debris-free design.
Gutters should be functional and look great. At Larson Home Services, we take your property’s architectural features into account and work with you to design gutters that complement your home’s aesthetic.
Common Gutter Problems and Solutions
Gutters are always getting bombarded with rain, pests, and debris. In other words, they take a beating. If your gutter system isn’t as strong as it used to be or you’ve been skimping on cleanings, your gutters may become damaged.
Adhering to a regular cleaning and maintenance schedule is the best way to avoid damages like pest infestations and overflows. Here are some of the most common gutter issues and how the right gutter system can prevent them:
Clogs
Clogged gutters are a frequent problem among property owners. Leaves, twigs, and other debris can accumulate in the gutters over time, blocking the flow of water and causing overflow. This overflow can cause water damage to your home’s roof, siding, and foundation.
Regular gutter cleaning is the best way to prevent clogs. Removing debris and buildup from your gutters at least six times a year can help prevent clogs. Additionally, installing Gutter Shutter® gutters can help eliminate the chance of clogs.
Leaks
Leaks may develop in your gutters due to issues like corrosion, rust, or damage from sharp branches. Even small leaks can lead to significant water damage, so being proactive about gutter maintenance does pay off.
If your gutters are cracked or corroded, we recommend a full gutter replacement using our Gutter Shutter® gutter system. This seamless gutter system solves these issues and prevents any future cracks or leaks from forming.
Frozen Gutters
In the Midwest, gutters are susceptible to freezing during winter months. When water trapped in gutters freezes, it expands, causing gutters to crack or pull away from the roofline. The frozen snow can also accumulate on your roof, forming a dangerous ice dam.
Ice dams are typically formed when water can’t flow out of your gutter system. The standing water freezes, then more snow piles on top of the frozen water—you get the picture. Keeping your gutters clean is the best way to avoid ice dams, but you might want to inspect the insulation in your attic as well.
Sagging
Gutters may sag when they become weighed down by debris and water buildup. They can also sag if they aren’t installed correctly. This can result in uneven water flow, leading to overflow in certain areas and insufficient drainage in others.
It’s smart to hire an experienced gutter service company if you’re in the market for a new gutter system. All too often, homeowners hire companies that do a poor job, which ends up costing more in the long run. With Larson Home Services, we get it right the first time.
How To Choose a Gutter Service Provider
Look For Positive Reviews
Choosing the right gutter service provider is a make-or-break moment for your gutter system. Start by researching local gutter service companies and reading reviews from previous customers. Look for consistent five-star reviews, positive feedback, and before and after photos.

Even though Larson Home Services began business in 2009, its family’s experience in the home improvement industry spans over 35 years. A reputable gutter service company like Larson Home Services will carry valid licenses and certifications, including the highest ratings from Angie’s Listed and the Better Business Bureau.
Check For Warranties
A reputable provider should stand behind their work and offer assurances for customer satisfaction and product performance. At Larson Home Services, we provide the GutterShutter® Lifetime Warranty. With multiple guarantees available, all warranties from Larson are 100% transferable.
