Seamless Gutter Installation in Burlington, MA

Senco Home Services installs, replaces, and repairs seamless aluminum gutters for homeowners in Burlington, MA. A gutter's job is to move the roof's water somewhere harmless, and in Burlington that's worth thinking about street by street. For the general rundown of how we install gutters, see our main gutter services page.

Where Burlington's Water Goes

Burlington sits at the headwaters of three watersheds: the Shawsheen, the Ipswich, and the Mystic. The town's own open space plan says 7.5% of Burlington is in the 100-year flood zone and that flooding is a persistent problem, with the biggest risk along Sawmill Brook from the Wilmington line to Lucaya Circle and along Vine Brook, Sandy Brook, and Longmeadow Brook. The same plan notes that cellars and lawns near those brooks flood in heavy rain.

Gutters won't hold back a brook. What they do is keep a whole roof's worth of rain from landing in a strip beside your foundation, which is the last thing a house near one of those brooks needs. So on a Burlington estimate we spend as much time on downspout placement and where the water ends up as on the gutters themselves.

Seamless Aluminum Gutter Installation

We form each length on site from flat aluminum stock, cut to the exact run of your roofline, so one piece spans a whole side of the house with no joints to fail. They're rust-resistant, come in colors to match your trim, and hang on hidden hangers for a clean edge.

Replacing Gutters on Burlington's Postwar Houses

By Census data, the median Burlington home was built in 1972, and about 55% of the town's houses went up between 1950 and 1979. Gutters on a house that age have usually been replaced at least once, and the run up there now may be undersized for the roof. When we replace them, we check the fascia and trim behind for rot first.

Our Own Gutter Crew

Burlington Gutters From Our Tewksbury Shop

Senco is based at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury, about 20 minutes from Burlington past Billerica and Wilmington. Our own crew forms and hangs every gutter we sell, and we've completed roofing and siding jobs in Burlington already.

Winter is the other half of the gutter story. Burlington has a 50 psf ground snow load under the building code, the same as Tewksbury. When that snowpack melts, the water needs somewhere to go, and a clogged or undersized gutter lets it back up and refreeze at the roof edge. That's how a lot of ice dams start.

In the Winnmere and Havenville section, 1920s summer cottages became year-round homes during the Depression. A house that started as a cottage can have fascia and trim that need a look first, so we check them before we hang anything.
