Gutter Installation & Repair
in Export, PA

We roll seamless aluminum gutter on site, so the only seams on your Export home are at the corners and outlets. That is fewer places for water to find its way out. We size the profile to the roof, not to a catalogue default.

Why Gutters Matter on Export Homes

Undersized or clogged gutters push water back under the shingle edge and down the fascia. In winter that same water refreezes at the eaves and starts an ice dam. Export sits at about 1,027 feet, surrounded entirely by Murrysville, so we start every inspection on the elevations that take the most exposure.

Gutter Work We Do in Export

We install 5-inch and 6-inch K-style seamless aluminum, oversized downspouts, fascia and soffit repairs where the wood has gone soft, and gutter guard systems. Underground drain tie-ins are available where the grade allows. We cover the whole borough and the rest of Westmoreland County.

Working on Export Homes

Export was incorporated on November 11, 1911, and was named because coal was mined in and exported from the town. The remains of the Westmoreland Coal Company's South mine are still visible, with a fourth entrance rediscovered in January 2019. We work on that stock the same way every time: get on the roof, open up what needs opening, and show you photographs of what is actually there before anyone talks about price.

Houses that went up in the same stretch of years tend to fail in the same places, and after enough jobs on one street you learn where to look first. That is worth more to a homeowner than a bigger crew or a faster quote. Older fascia and rafter tails decide how gutter gets hung here, so we look before we size anything.

Export at a Glance

Export counts 894 residents, which tells you roughly how much of the housing here went up in the same few decades. Local students attend Franklin Regional School District, and a good share of our work comes from neighbors on the same streets talking to each other. The 15632 ZIP Code is on our regular run, not a special trip.

We cover all of it, and the rest of Westmoreland County with it.

Runs are rolled on site, so lengths match your house instead of your house matching stock lengths. Six-inch with 3x4 downspout is usually the right answer on anything with real roof area above it. We will tell you when guards are not worth it on your particular property.

Gutter damage photographs badly from the ground, which is why we shoot it from the ladder. Our PA HIC registration covers gutter work the same as roofing across Westmoreland County. Where the grade will not carry water away we say so rather than bury the problem.

Hangers go into rafter tails wherever we can reach them rather than into fascia alone. Undersized gutter is the single most common thing we replace on homes in Westmoreland County. Guards that clog are worse than no guards, so the choice depends on what is over your roof.

Gutter damage often rides along with an approved roof claim, which is why we shoot it early. Fascia and soffit repairs get quoted separately so you can see exactly what the wood costs. Where water has nowhere to go we will tell you plainly instead of moving the problem downhill.

Export was a coal town, incorporated in 1911, and its population peaked at 2,596 in 1920 before falling to 894. Housing built for a town more than twice the current size is still standing, which means a lot of century-old stock in a borough of 0.40 square miles. On houses that age we plan siding around what we find behind the existing cladding.
