Frequently Asked Questions
How much do new gutters cost in Washington D.C.?
Most full aluminum gutter replacements in the D.C. metro fall between $1,500 and $5,500 for an average home. 5-inch seamless aluminum runs $1,500 to $4,000. 6-inch seamless aluminum runs $2,500 to $5,500. Half-round aluminum runs $4,000 to $9,000. Copper systems run $8,000 to $25,000+.
What is the difference between 5-inch and 6-inch gutters?
6-inch gutters handle roughly 40 percent more water than 5-inch gutters. For most D.C. metro homes with 2,500 square feet or more of roof drainage area, 6-inch is the right choice. Steep roofs and homes with large tree canopies also benefit from 6-inch. Smaller homes and townhouses with modest roof areas do fine with 5-inch.
Do I need gutter guards?
Gutter guards make sense if your home has heavy tree cover. The D.C. metro has a dense mature tree canopy, so guards reduce cleaning frequency for most homes. They are not a substitute for occasional cleaning, and no guard is 100 percent effective. We install micro-mesh and reverse-curve systems depending on the roof and debris type.
How long do gutters last?
Aluminum gutters typically last 20 to 30 years. Copper gutters last 50 to 100+ years. Steel gutters last 20 years. Lifespan depends on maintenance, ice damming, and physical damage from ladders, falling branches, and ice.
Do you repair box gutters and built-in gutters?
Yes. Many D.C. row houses in Mt. Pleasant, Capitol Hill, Petworth, Brookland, and Bloomingdale have built-in box gutters integrated into the parapet wall or eaves. We repair, reline, and rebuild these systems. Repairs are different from standard hung gutter work and require flashing, membrane, or sheet metal expertise.
Do you install copper gutters?
Yes. We install half-round and K-style copper gutter systems, common on Cleveland Park, Chevy Chase, Forest Hills, and Capitol Hill homes. Copper develops a patina over time and is a long-term investment.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Maggio Roofing is licensed in Virginia (2705056017), Maryland (37728), and Washington D.C. (410518000251), and carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance.
What warranty do you provide?
Every gutter installation includes our lifetime workmanship warranty from Maggio Roofing. Gutter repairs carry a one-year workmanship warranty.
How long does a gutter installation take?
Most full aluminum gutter replacements take one day. Half-round and copper installations take one to three days depending on linear footage and complexity. Box gutter rebuilds can take several days.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Washington D.C. and Maryland and Northern Virginia suburbs including Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Silver Spring, Kensington, Takoma Park, Rockville, Potomac, Alexandria, Arlington, Annandale, Falls Church, and McLean.

Why Washington D.C. Gutters Are Different
D.C. metro gutters take a beating. Summer thunderstorms and hurricane remnants dump heavy rainfall over short periods, and the region's mature tree canopy means oak, maple, sweetgum, and tulip poplar debris ends up in gutters year-round. Mt. Pleasant, Capitol Hill, and Petworth row houses have built-in box gutters and parapet wall drains that need different repair techniques than typical hung gutters. Cleveland Park, Chevy Chase, and Forest Hills homes often have original copper half-round systems worth preserving rather than replacing. Bethesda, Silver Spring, Kensington, and the Northern Virginia suburbs typically run standard 5-inch or 6-inch aluminum.
Properly sized gutters and downspouts matter in this climate. We size systems to the roof's drainage area and pitch, not to a one-size-fits-all standard. Undersized gutters overflow during heavy rain, which is the leading cause of foundation water intrusion in D.C. basements.
