Seamless Gutters in Lowell, MA

Senco Home Services installs, repairs and replaces seamless aluminum gutters in Lowell, MA, and we've done gutter work in the city. Lowell's buildings are old: census data puts the median at 1942. That usually means gutters that have been patched for decades and fascia boards that have been wet for just as long. We fix both in one visit. For the full rundown of our gutter process, see the main gutter page.

Fascia & Trim Repair Behind Lowell Gutters

The fascia is the board your gutters hang from. When a gutter overflows, sags or pulls away, water runs behind it and the fascia rots, then the gutter spikes lose their grip and the whole run sags further. On an older house it's common to find fascia and trim painted over more than once with soft wood underneath. We take the gutter down, cut out the rotted fascia and trim, replace it, finish it to match, and hang the new run on solid wood. If you only need the fascia fixed, call anyway; we'll look at it.

Seamless Aluminum Gutter Installation

Store-bought gutters come in short sections snapped together, and every joint is a future leak. We form each run on site from flat aluminum stock, cut to the exact length of your roofline, so one piece spans the whole side of the building. Seamless aluminum is light, doesn't rust, comes in colors to match your trim, and hangs on hidden hangers for a clean line.

Downspouts on Taller Buildings

About a quarter of Lowell's housing units are in two-family and three- and four-unit buildings. A taller building means longer downspout runs, and a downspout that dumps a big roof's water next to the foundation causes its own trouble. We size and place downspouts for the building, and route the water away from walls, walkways and the neighbor's driveway.

Gutter Repair, Replacement & Guards

Not every gutter problem means starting over. Loose hangers, leaking corners and clogged runs are usually fixable. When a run is rusted through or past saving, we replace it, and gutter guards cut down on how often someone has to get up a ladder in the fall. A clogged gutter in a New England winter is a common way an ice dam starts. Get a free estimate or call for a fast look.

Local Gutter Installation, Not a Subcontractor

Lowell's Gutter Crew, Ten Minutes Up Route 38

Our own crews do the gutter work. Senco is based at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury, and Main Street becomes Rogers Street at the Lowell line, about 5 miles and 10 minutes from the shop.

Lowell sits where the Merrimack and Concord rivers meet. The Merrimack crested at a record 68.4 feet at Lowell in March 1936, and in the May 2006 flood the city dropped its Francis Gate for only the third time in 150 years. That's river water, and gutters have nothing to do with it. The everyday problem is smaller: a clogged or undersized gutter dumping a roof's worth of rain beside the foundation in every storm, and that's the one we fix.

Lowell is in the same 50 psf ground-snow-load column as Tewksbury in the state building code. When that snow melts, the water has to go somewhere. A gutter that can't move it backs up, refreezes at the roof edge and starts an ice dam, whether the gutter is new or original to the house.

We work in all eight of Lowell's neighborhoods: the Acre, Back Central, Belvidere, Centralville, Downtown, the Highlands, Pawtucketville and South Lowell. If your gutter job comes with roofing or siding, both need a city building permit from the Division of Development Services at City Hall, 375 Merrimack Street (978-674-4144), and we pull it as part of the job.
