Why Choose Midwest Home Improvements
Whether you need a full gutter installation on a new build or you're replacing sections that have pulled away from the fascia, Midwest Home Improvements is the company to turn to. We've been handling gutter installation, repair, and seamless gutter replacement across western Wisconsin since 1993, and in 33 years we've seen what happens when gutters are installed fast and cheap. Sagging seams, improper pitch, downspouts draining toward the foundation. We don't cut those corners. Call (715) 894-1120 to schedule an estimate.
Our gutter work covers the full range: seamless gutters fabricated on-site for a clean fit, sectional gutter repair, downspout extensions, and gutter guard installation. Seamless aluminum gutters are what we recommend for most homes in this region, and that's what we install most often. Cost depends on linear footage, fascia condition, the number of corners and downspouts, and whether the existing system needs to come down first. For most single-story homes a complete replacement runs somewhere between $1,000 and $4,000 or more, and multi-story or heavily-damaged fascia work can push well past that. Every job is different. Contact Midwest Home Improvements for an accurate estimate.

What a Properly Installed Gutter System Actually Does
A lot of homeowners think gutters are just about keeping rain off your head when you walk out the door. They're not. Gutters direct water away from your foundation, protect your soffits and fascia from rot, and keep basement moisture problems from starting at the roofline. A gutter system that's pitched wrong, pulling away from the house, or clogged at the downspout isn't just cosmetic. It's actively damaging your home every time it rains. We've seen foundation issues that started with a failed gutter run. Don't wait on this one.
Our Gutter Services: What We Offer
Midwest Home Improvements covers the full menu of gutter work for residential properties throughout the area we serve.
Gutter Replacement
Old sectional gutters, rusted steel, or systems that have simply failed get pulled down and replaced. We inspect fascia and soffit condition before any new gutter goes up. Rotted wood behind a new gutter is a problem you don't want to discover in two years.
Gutter Repair
Loose spikes, failed caulk at miters, sagging hangers, disconnected downspouts. A lot of gutter problems are repairable without replacing the whole system. We'll tell you honestly when a repair is the right call versus when replacement makes more financial sense.
Gutter Guard Installation
Guards aren't for every situation, but if you've got mature trees dropping needles and leaves onto a section that clogs every fall, they're worth considering. We install guards as part of a new system or onto existing gutters that are otherwise in good shape.
Downspout Extensions and Grading
The downspout is only half the solution. Water needs to exit at least four feet from the foundation. We add extensions and splash blocks where needed, and we'll flag grading problems that are routing water back toward the house.
Gutter Cleaning
A clogged gutter is a standing-water problem, a pest problem, and an ice dam problem waiting to happen. We offer cleaning as a standalone service and as part of any inspection visit before repair or replacement work.
When to Repair vs. When to Replace
This is a question we get on almost every call. Honestly, it depends on how old the system is, what material it's made from, and how many problem spots you're dealing with. A single loose downspout on a five-year-old aluminum system? That's a repair. A 20-year-old sectional steel gutter with rust at every joint and fascia that's soft to the touch? You're replacing it, and probably dealing with some rotted wood underneath. We won't push you toward a full replacement when a repair is the right call. But we also won't patch a system that's going to fail again in two seasons and cost you more in the long run. Our team will walk you through what we find and give you a straight answer. You can also see examples of the kind of work we do on our recent projects page.

What Our Customers Say
We've been doing this work since 1993. Here's what some of the homeowners we've worked with have to say.
Stephen's crew replaced all our gutters and fixed some fascia damage we didn't even know we had. They were upfront about what they found, didn't surprise us with extra charges, and the work looks great. We've recommended them to two neighbors already.
We called three contractors. Midwest Home Improvements was the only one who actually climbed up and looked before quoting us. Everyone else eyeballed it from the driveway. That told us everything we needed to know.
Fair price, showed up when they said they would, cleaned up after themselves. The seamless gutters they installed look a lot better than what we had before. Honest and professional.

Common Questions About Gutter Installation and Repair
Straight answers to what homeowners ask most often before booking a gutter job.
What is the average cost of gutters for a home?
For a typical single-story home in this region, seamless aluminum gutter installation runs roughly $1,000 to $4,000 or more depending on linear footage, number of corners, downspout count, and the condition of your fascia boards. Homes with significant rot damage or multi-story rooflines push the cost higher. Every job is different. Contact Midwest Home Improvements for an accurate estimate.
How much is a 60 ft seamless gutter?
A single 60-foot seamless aluminum gutter run typically costs between $300 and $700 installed, though that number shifts based on gutter profile (5-inch vs. 6-inch K-style), downspout placement, height off the ground, and whether the existing system needs to be removed first. Copper or steel adds to the cost. Aluminum is what we recommend for most applications in Wisconsin's climate.
How much should it cost to fix a gutter?
Minor repairs like re-securing a loose hanger, resealing a leaking miter joint, or reconnecting a downspout typically run $75 to $300. More involved repairs, like a section that's pulled completely away and taken soffit with it, can climb to $500 or more depending on the underlying damage. We assess before we quote, so you know what you're paying for before any work starts.
Can I install a gutter myself?
Sectional gutters from a big-box store are technically a DIY product. The problem is pitch. Gutters need to slope roughly a quarter inch per 10 feet toward the downspout, and getting that wrong means standing water, mosquito problems, and ice dams in January. Seamless gutters aren't DIY at all. They require a mobile forming machine to fabricate on-site. If you're comfortable on a ladder and the run is simple, a small repair is manageable. Full installations are a job for qualified professionals.
How often should gutters be replaced in Wisconsin?
Aluminum gutters in this climate typically last 20 to 30 years with regular cleaning. Steel gutters rust faster, especially at the seams. The bigger threat in Wisconsin is ice dams, which can force water behind gutters and damage fascia boards from the inside. If your gutters are more than 20 years old and you're already getting leaks or visible separation, replacement is usually more cost-effective than continued patching.
Do gutter guards actually work?
Some do. Micro-mesh guards from quality manufacturers genuinely reduce debris buildup and cut down on cleaning frequency. Foam inserts and cheap plastic screens? Not worth installing. We won't push guards on every job because they're not necessary for every home. But on a property with heavy tree canopy dropping needles or maple seeds, a good guard system pays for itself in reduced cleaning and reduced clog-related damage over five to ten years.
Ready to Get Your Gutters Sorted Out?
We're available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday mornings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average cost of gutters for a home?
For a typical single-story home, seamless aluminum gutter installation runs roughly $1,000 to $4,000 or more depending on linear footage, number of corners, downspout count, and fascia condition. Multi-story homes or those with rotted wood underneath the old system push the cost higher. Every job is different. Contact Midwest Home Improvements for an accurate estimate.
How much is a 60 ft seamless gutter?
A 60-foot seamless aluminum gutter run typically costs $300 to $700 installed, depending on profile size, downspout placement, height, and whether removal of the existing system is needed. Copper or steel materials cost more. Aluminum is the right choice for most Wisconsin homes given freeze-thaw cycles and the need for a low-maintenance system.
How much should it cost to fix a gutter?
Minor gutter repairs like resealing a leaking joint, re-securing hangers, or reattaching a downspout typically run $75 to $300. Repairs involving fascia rot or full section replacement can reach $500 or more. We assess the system before quoting, so there are no surprises on the invoice. Every job is different. Contact Midwest Home Improvements for an accurate estimate.
Can I install a gutter myself?
Sectional gutters are sold as a DIY product, but pitch is the part most homeowners get wrong. Gutters need to slope about a quarter inch per 10 feet toward the downspout. Get that off and you'll have standing water and ice dams by winter. Seamless gutters require a mobile forming machine and aren't a DIY option at all. For anything beyond a simple repair, hire a qualified professional.
How often should gutters be replaced in Wisconsin?
Aluminum gutters last 20 to 30 years with proper maintenance. Steel gutters rust faster, especially at the seams. Ice dams are the bigger risk in Wisconsin, forcing water behind the gutter and rotting fascia boards from the inside. If your system is over 20 years old and showing visible separation or repeated leak points, replacement is usually the better investment over continued patching.
Do gutter guards actually work?
Quality micro-mesh guards reduce debris buildup significantly and cut cleaning frequency. Cheap foam inserts and plastic screens are not worth installing. Guards aren't right for every home. But on a property with heavy tree canopy, a good guard system reduces both cleaning costs and clog-related water damage over time. We'll tell you if guards make sense for your situation.
