Gutter Installation

Gutter Installation in Hammond, IN

Protect Your Home From Water Problems

If your gutters overflow during every heavy rain, start to pull away from the roofline, or leave standing water along your foundation, the issue rarely resolves on its own. In Northwest Indiana’s climate, poor drainage can lead to fascia rot, basement seepage, soil erosion, and even long-term foundation damage.

Hobson & Scott is a family-owned exterior remodeling company based in Hammond, serving homeowners throughout Northwest Indiana since 2003. We focus on roofing, siding, soffit, fascia, and complete gutter systems designed to handle Midwest weather. Rather than treating gutters as an isolated feature, we evaluate how your entire exterior works together to move water safely away from your home.

Why Homeowners In Hammond Choose Hobson & Scott

Gutters sit at a critical intersection of roofing, fascia, soffit, and siding. If they are not installed correctly, water can work its way into multiple parts of your exterior. That is why choosing an experienced, stable contractor matters.

As a family-owned company operating continuously since 2003, our decision-making is local and consistent. Many customers work with the same team members from estimate to final walkthrough, which keeps communication clear and expectations aligned. We are fully licensed and insured, and our crews are trained to install complete exterior systems — not disconnected components.

Because we also handle roofing and fascia work, we understand how gutters must tie properly into the roof edge. Improper drip edge alignment, weak fascia backing, or incorrect slope can shorten the lifespan of a gutter system. Our broader exterior knowledge allows us to plan drainage intentionally rather than treating it as an afterthought.

Homeowners often come to us when they want a coordinated approach. If roofing, siding, soffit, or fascia issues are present along with failing gutters, we can develop a unified plan. That reduces delays, avoids conflicting recommendations, and keeps your exterior working as one protective system.

Signs You May Need Gutter Replacement

Some gutter problems are obvious. Others develop gradually and only become noticeable after repeated storms. In Hammond and surrounding communities, we often see aging systems that are undersized, poorly pitched, or attached to deteriorating fascia boards.

Common warning signs include:

  • Water spilling over the front edge during steady rain
  • Gutters sagging or pulling away from the house
  • Soil erosion or washed-out mulch below the roofline
  • Peeling paint or soft wood along fascia boards
  • Persistent dripping at seams or corners
  • Rust spots, cracks, or visible separation between sections
  • Puddles forming near the foundation
  • Ice buildup along the gutter line in winter

Northwest Indiana’s freeze-thaw cycles can accelerate damage. When water remains trapped in sections of gutter, it expands as it freezes, stressing fasteners and seams. Over time, this leads to sagging, leaks, and separation from the fascia.

If you notice any of these issues, documenting them during a storm can be helpful. Photos showing overflow or drainage patterns give us valuable insight when we evaluate your home.

Our Gutter Replacement Process

We understand that exterior work can feel disruptive, so we focus on clarity and planning from the beginning.

1. On-Site Evaluation

We start with a visit to your home. We listen to your concerns, inspect existing gutters and downspouts, check fascia condition, and observe how water currently drains around the property.

2. Measurement & Planning

We measure rooflines and consider slope, valleys, and high-volume runoff areas. Lot layout also matters — especially in Hammond neighborhoods where homes may sit close together.

3. Clear Recommendations

We explain whether repair or full replacement makes more sense. If fascia boards show signs of rot, we discuss whether addressing that at the same time would be more practical.

4. Installation Day

Our crews remove existing gutters carefully and inspect the fascia underneath. New gutters are installed with proper slope, secure fastening, and aligned downspouts to direct water away from the foundation.

5. Cleanup & Walkthrough

We remove debris and conduct a walkthrough so you can review the completed work. We explain what was done and answer any final questions.

Many standard gutter replacement projects are completed in a single day, though larger homes or added fascia work may extend the timeline slightly.

Gutter Systems Designed For Midwest Weather

Hammond experiences heavy rain, strong wind, snow accumulation, and ice. A gutter system must be designed with these realities in mind.

We consider:

  • Roof size and pitch
  • Valleys that concentrate water flow
  • Appropriate gutter sizing
  • Secure hanger spacing for winter loads
  • Downspout placement for effective discharge
  • Existing fascia condition
  • Visual coordination with siding and roofing

Older homes in Northwest Indiana sometimes have smaller gutters that cannot handle today’s rainfall intensity. Upgrading to properly sized systems can significantly improve drainage performance.

We also discuss color and style options so your gutters complement your home’s appearance while maintaining durability and function.

Coordinating Gutters With Other Exterior Projects

Because we provide roofing, siding, soffit, and fascia services, we often replace gutters as part of a broader exterior plan. Coordinating these elements prevents conflicts between trades and ensures all components integrate properly.

For example:

  • Roofing projects require proper drip edge alignment with gutters.
  • Damaged fascia should be addressed before attaching new gutter systems.
  • Siding transitions should not block proper drainage paths.
  • When one contractor manages the plan, you avoid miscommunication and scheduling gaps.

What To Do If Your Gutters Are Failing

If you are seeing overflow, staining, or pooling water near your foundation, it is wise to schedule an inspection before the next heavy rain or snow season. Delays can allow minor drainage issues to become structural repairs.

Before your appointment:

  • Note where problems occur
  • Take photos during rain if possible
  • Consider whether other exterior updates are needed

We provide free estimates and written recommendations so you can make informed decisions without pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I know if I need full gutter replacement instead of repair?

If gutters are sagging throughout, separating at multiple seams, or undersized for your roof, replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs. We assess structural integrity and drainage performance before recommending either option.

2. How long do gutters typically last in Northwest Indiana?

Lifespan depends on material and installation quality, but Midwest weather conditions can shorten poorly installed systems. Proper slope and secure fastening significantly affect longevity.

3. Can failing gutters really damage my foundation?

Yes. Persistent overflow or poor discharge can saturate soil near the foundation, leading to settlement issues, basement seepage, and cracking over time.

4. Do you replace fascia if it is rotted?

If we find deteriorated fascia during inspection or removal, we will explain the condition and recommend appropriate replacement before installing new gutters.

5. How long does a typical gutter replacement take?

Most standard homes can be completed in one day. Larger or more complex layouts may require additional time.

6. Will new gutters prevent ice dams?

While gutters alone do not prevent ice dams, proper drainage and slope reduce standing water that contributes to freeze-thaw stress.

7. Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. We provide free, written estimates outlining scope and cost so you can review your options clearly.

8. Can you coordinate gutters with a new roof installation?

Absolutely. Coordinating roofing and gutter work ensures correct drip edge integration and long-term water management.

9. What happens if it rains during installation?

We monitor forecasts closely. If weather becomes unsafe or could affect installation quality, we reschedule and keep you informed.
