FAQ

Common questions

Are the installers licensed?

South Dakota has no statewide gutter license — we connect you with independent, insured local pros holding the state contractor's excise tax license, and our guide shows the quick checks worth doing yourself.

5-inch or 6-inch gutters for my Watertown home?

Roof area, pitch and valley concentration decide it. Plains thunderstorms drop water fast, so larger roofs and steep pitches often justify 6-inch runs with added downspouts — the on-site estimate settles it with measurements, not guesswork.

What causes ice dams in Watertown?

Heat escaping the attic melts roof snow; the meltwater refreezes at the cold eaves and backs up under shingles. Gutters full of ice make it worse. Attic insulation and ventilation are the cure; heated cable and clean gutters are the mitigation.
