How Storm Damage Can Affect Your Roof and What to Do Next

Read moreLicensed exterior remodeling contractor installing seamless gutters for Burbank homes. Water pouring over the fascia during a Burbank downpour, or a shelf of ice hanging off the eaves after a hard freeze, usually means the gutter system underneath has already failed. We at BN Covered Exteriors handle gutter installation Burbank homeowners rely on, sizing every seamless run and downspout to handle the Columbia Basin’s heavy winter runoff and repeated freeze and thaw cycles without pulling loose from the fascia.

Seamless gutter installation. We fabricate aluminum gutters on site in continuous runs, so there are no seams along the length of the gutter to crack, separate, or leak. This is the standard we install for gutter installation Burbank homeowners request, from one section over a porch to a full perimeter system.
Gutter replacement. A sagging, rusted, or pulled away gutter run usually means the hangers or the fascia behind it have already failed. We remove the old system down to the fascia, correct any rot or damage we find underneath, and install a new gutter replacement sized correctly for your roof’s pitch and square footage.
Gutter repair. Not every problem calls for a full tear off. A section that has separated at a joint, a hanger that has pulled loose, or a downspout that has come apart at an elbow can often be corrected in a single visit. Our gutter repair Burbank technicians diagnose the failure point before recommending a fix.
Gutter guard installation. Pine needles, cottonwood seed, and windblown grit collect fast in the Tri-Cities and clog a gutter well before winter. Gutter guards installation keeps debris out of the channel so water keeps moving even during a heavy rain, which matters most on the coldest nights of the year.
Downspout installation and drainage extensions. A downspout that dumps water two feet from the foundation does more harm than good. We size and route downspouts to carry water well clear of the foundation as part of our residential gutter services, correcting erosion and pooling along the way.
Fascia and roofline integration. A gutter system is only as strong as what it is hung from. We inspect and repair fascia boards and drip edges with every installation, tying new gutters into your existing roofing system instead of a board that is already failing.
Seasonal gutter cleaning and inspection. Gutter cleaning Burbank homeowners schedule before winter catches problems while they are still cheap to fix. We clear debris, check pitch and fastener condition, and flag any section that will not survive another freeze and thaw cycle.
Burbank sits in the Columbia Basin, where winter days often climb into the high 30s or 40s even after an overnight low well below freezing. That daily swing, not a single hard freeze, is what causes most of the gutter damage we see here.
The National Weather Service explains that ice dams form after repeated melting and freezing cycles, not from a single cold snap. Snow and rain on the roof melts during the warmer daytime hours, runs down toward the eave, and refreezes overnight once temperatures drop again. Inside an undersized or debris clogged gutter, that meltwater has nowhere to go, so it freezes solid in the channel itself.
Once ice fills a gutter section, the weight pulls at the hangers and the fascia board behind it, and any additional meltwater has no choice but to back up over the front lip and run down the siding or foundation instead of through the downspout. Homeowners see this as a gutter pulling away from the roofline in February, or a stretch of ice along the eave that keeps growing every time the temperature climbs above freezing.
We size every gutter and hanger for the Columbia Basin’s actual winter load, not a warmer climate default, and we route downspouts so meltwater clears the foundation the moment the ice lets go. That is the difference between a gutter system that survives a Burbank winter and one that needs replacing every few years.
A wind event that is bad enough to take out a roof usually damages the gutters hanging off it too, and this customer was dealing with both at once. Getting one contractor who could handle both scopes at once, instead of juggling separate crews, was part of what stood out.
“Communication, speed, quality, veteran owned and aftercare were all excellent.”
That is exactly the kind of job we are built for. When a storm takes out a roof, the gutters hanging off the eave usually need attention too, and we handle both scopes as one project. Read Jared’s full Google review
Choosing a siding company, or any exterior contractor, is harder when a homeowner has already been burned by a crew that oversold the job and underdelivered on the work. This Burbank customer went into the project wary for exactly that reason.
“If you don’t know which siding company to put your trust in, we would highly recommend BN Covered Exteriors. Andy & Aron explained the company, the Hardy Board product they install, and all the points that put the company and Hardy Board above the others. We have had experiences with companies that promise the moon and don’t deliver. BN Covered Exteriors proved they were not the run of the mill company.”
We hold every crew to that same standard on a gutter job, whether it is a single downspout repair or a full system replacement: explain the product, explain the price, and do the work without pressure to buy more than the house needs. Read Lisa’s full Google review
Whether you need one section rehung before the next storm or a full seamless gutter system before winter sets in, our crew sizes the fascia, hangers, and downspouts so the job holds up through the Columbia Basin’s freeze and thaw cycles.

How do I know if my gutters need repair or replacement?
Water spilling over the front edge during normal rain, a section pulled away from the fascia, or rust spots and small holes along the bottom seam are all signs the system needs attention. A gutter that fills with ice every winter and never fully drains is also past due for a look.
What does a gutter inspection actually involve?
We check the pitch of every run to confirm water is draining toward the downspouts, inspect hangers and fasteners for looseness, and look at the fascia board behind the gutter for rot or damage. For a replacement, we also measure roof square footage to size the new system correctly.
What is the difference between sectional and seamless gutters?
Sectional gutters are assembled from shorter pre-cut pieces joined with seams, which are the most common failure point over time. Seamless gutters are fabricated on site in one continuous run per side of the house, cutting out most of the joints that leak or separate first.
How do I decide between repairing my gutters and replacing them?
If the damage is limited to a section or two and the fascia behind it is solid, repair is usually the right call. Once rust has spread across multiple runs, hangers keep pulling loose, or the gutters are original to a roof that is now 15 to 20 years old, full gutter replacement is generally the better value.
Why do my gutters keep pulling away from the house every winter?
Burbank’s winter pattern of daytime highs near or above freezing followed by overnight refreezing causes meltwater to freeze solid inside the gutter channel. The weight of that trapped ice pulls at the hangers and fascia with every freeze and thaw cycle, which is why undersized or improperly hung systems fail here faster than in milder climates.
How do I schedule gutter installation or repair?
Book online with your address and a description of the problem, and we will schedule a same day quote to measure your roofline and recommend the right gutter, guard, and downspout combination for your home.
