Most gutter problems in Evanston are not actually gutter problems — they are hanger problems. The original spike-and-ferrule installs from the 1990s and 2000s loosen, the gutter sags, water pools at the sag, the sag deepens, and now you have an ice dam. We can usually fix it without replacing the entire run.
What we repair (and what we recommend replacing)
Re-pitch and re-hang, seam re-seal with butyl and rivets, end-cap replacement, downspout strap and outlet replacement, fascia repair behind sagging sections, and gutter-to-roof flashing where ice has worked the apron loose. When more than 40% of a run is failing, replacement of that run is the better economic answer — and we will tell you so.
Ice-dam-related gutter damage
After bad winters (2014, 2019, 2025) we see a rush of gutters pulled completely off the fascia by ice loading. The repair usually requires fascia carpentry along with the gutter work. We handle both in one visit.

Questions Evanston homeowners ask about gutters.
How much does a gutter repair cost?+
Most single-area repairs run $185 to $485. Re-pitching a full run with new hangers runs $385 to $750. We give you a flat price before we start.
Can you repair gutters in winter?+
Yes for emergencies (ice-dam stabilization, fallen runs). Sealants need 40°F-plus to cure properly, so we schedule routine repairs for the next thaw window.
