Broadview’s housing tells a story any roofer can read from the curb: brick bungalows built in the 1940s and 1950s, ranch homes from the 1960s, many of them expanded later with flat-roofed rear additions. Those additions changed how water leaves the roof, and most original gutter systems were never upgraded to handle the load. When we inspect a Broadview home, we’re checking for two drainage systems that often got treated as one. That’s the difference between a gutter job that lasts and one that pulls loose in the next spring storm.
Why Ridgeline Roofing Co. of Chicago Is Broadview’s Preferred Gutters & Accessories Company
We’ve worked in Broadview long enough to know which blocks have the original 1×6 pine fascia boards and which had replacements done in the 1990s with pressure-treated lumber that held up better. Pete Callahan, who leads our company, has walked more Broadview roofs than he can count, and he still reviews photo documentation from every inspection our technicians perform.
Our Broadview customers call us back because we document what we find. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians photograph your fascia, your hanger spacing, your downspout outlets, and the transition flashing at your flat addition. You see what we see. No scary speeches in the driveway, no pressure to sign before you understand the problem.
Phones are staffed by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Our Gutters & Accessories Services in Broadview
Gutter Installation
New gutter installation in Broadview runs $1,200-$2,400 for a typical single-story bungalow, $1,800-$3,200 for homes with flat-addition drainage requiring separate downspout runs. We install seamless aluminum in 5-inch and 6-inch profiles, custom-formed on-site to your roofline measurements. For Broadview’s mid-century homes with skip-sheathing or board sheathing instead of plywood, we use longer fascia screws rather than roof-edge nails to ensure solid anchoring. Every installation includes proper pitch calculation, hidden hangers spaced 24 inches on center, and outlet tubes sized to your roof’s square footage.
Gutter Repair
Most Broadview gutter repairs cost $180-$450 and are finished same-day. Common calls: hangers pulled from rotted fascia, seams leaking at corners, and outlets clogged with asphalt granules from aging shingles. We replaced a failed gutter section on a brick bungalow on 17th Avenue last spring where the old fascia board was so rotted that the nail holding the downspout elbow came out in our hand. We refastened with a GAF hidden hanger into a new painted 1×6 fascia, then upgraded the outlet tube with a 3×4 downspout to handle the 60-foot flat-addition runoff that had been overspilling the undersized original pipe.
Gutter Guard Installation
Gutter guard installation in Broadview ranges $600-$1,400 depending on linear footage and guard type. Broadview’s mature oak canopy drops heavy leaves in fall, then helicopters and catkins in spring. We install Owens Corning and Atlas gutter guard systems designed for high debris loads, including mesh screens and surface-tension helmets. For homes with flat additions where downspouts handle concentrated runoff, we often recommend hybrid systems: guards on the main roof gutters, oversized outlets and cleanouts on the flat-addition runs where debris accumulates fastest.
Downspout Repair & Replacement
Downspout repair in Broadview costs $120-$340; full replacement with extension or burial runs $280-$680. The village’s clay-heavy soils and flat additions create a specific problem: undersized 2×3 downspouts on rear additions overflow during heavy rain, pooling against foundation walls and worsening basement seepage. We upgrade to 3×4 downspouts where runoff volume demands it, and we install proper splash blocks or underground drains to move water away from the foundation. On homes near the Des Plaines River watershed, this matters more than most homeowners realize until they see the water mark.
Fascia Repair
Fascia repair is where Broadview gutter work often starts, not ends. Broadview’s 1940s-1960s bungalows and ranches often have gutter hangers nailed into fascia that is nothing more than 1×6 pine with decades of paint layers-when a storm hits, the hanger pulls out before the gutter even fills. Fascia replacement runs $450-$1,200 depending on linear footage and whether soffit ventilation needs correction. We use primed or painted 1×6 PVC or pressure-treated lumber, never raw pine, and we seal all end grains before installation.
Seamless Gutters
Seamless gutter installation in Broadview starts at $1,100 for a typical bungalow. We form 5-inch or 6-inch K-style aluminum on-site with a portable roll-forming machine, eliminating leak-prone seams except at corners and end caps. For Broadview’s flat-addition homes, seamless construction is especially valuable at the long rear runs where traditional sectional gutters would have three or four seams, each a future failure point. We color-match to your trim using baked-enamel finishes from our standard palette.

Trusted Brands We Service in Broadview
We are authorized installers for seven manufacturer lines, and for Broadview gutter work we most often draw from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Atlas. CertainTeed’s gutter systems integrate well with their roofing products for full-system warranties. Owens Corning’s gutter guards handle heavy oak debris loads without overscreening that causes overflow in downpours. Atlas supplies commercial-grade hidden hangers and outlet hardware we trust for fascia repair jobs where the original fastening failed. We stock common parts for Broadview customers, so most repairs don’t wait on shipping. If your home has a specific manufacturer warranty from prior work, we’ll match components to protect that coverage.
Common Gutters & Accessories Problems We See in Broadview Homes
- Fascia rot from decades of paint layers traps moisture, causing hanger pull-out during wind storms. Broadview’s original 1×6 pine fascia boards were painted and repainted for sixty years. Each layer trapped a little more moisture. By the time the gutter starts sagging, the wood behind it is punky and crumbles under a screwdriver. We see this on almost every pre-1970 bungalow in the village.
- Undersized downspouts on low-slope rear additions overflow during heavy rain, pooling against foundation walls. The flat additions common in Broadview collect water differently than pitched roofs. A 2×3 downspout rated for a small roof area gets overwhelmed when a 60-foot flat run drains through a single outlet. Water sheets over the gutter edge and finds your basement.
- Missing or failing transition flashing at main-roof-to-flat-addition junction leads to water ingress that rots the fascia board from behind. This is the hidden damage. Water enters at the roof transition, runs down the rafter tails, and exits through the fascia where the gutter hangers are supposed to hold. The gutter looks like the problem. The roof junction is the cause.
- Ice dam formation on low-pitched bungalow eaves with minimal attic ventilation backs water into gutter seams. Broadview’s freeze-thaw cycle is brutal. Heat escaping through poorly ventilated attics melts roof snow; water refreezes at the cold eave, lifting shingles and forcing water behind gutters. Original gutters on these homes weren’t designed for ice dam conditions.

FAQs - Gutters & Accessories in Broadview
No permit is required for like-for-like gutter replacement in Broadview, but a permit is needed if you’re altering roof drainage patterns or installing new downspout discharges to the village storm system. Broadview’s Building Department at Village Hall can confirm specifics for your project. If your job involves fascia replacement or roof-edge work, we handle permit research as part of our estimate. Call (855) 641-3418 and we’ll verify requirements for your address.
Your gutters are pulling away because the fascia board behind them is rotted or the original nails have lost their grip in decades-old pine. Broadview’s 1940s-1960s bungalows were built with 1×6 pine fascia that wasn’t designed to carry the wind loads modern gutters experience. We see this on 17th Avenue, along Roosevelt Road, and throughout ZIP 60155. The fix is fascia replacement with pressure-treated or PVC lumber, then refastening with hidden hangers and structural screws, not nails. Call (855) 641-3418 for a free inspection - we’ll show you the photos.
Surface-tension helmet guards or stainless steel micro-mesh systems handle Broadview’s oak leaf load best, provided they’re paired with 3×4 downspouts that can pass small debris without jamming. We install Owens Corning and Atlas systems rated for heavy debris. Avoid cheap screen inserts - they collapse under wet leaf mass and create worse clogs. For homes with flat additions, we often recommend guards on the main roof and open outlets with cleanout access on the rear. Call (855) 641-3418 and we’ll match a system to your tree canopy.
Gutters alone cannot fix a leaking roof transition, but proper gutter and downspout sizing at the flat addition reduces the water volume that stresses the transition flashing. The real repair requires inspecting and replacing the step flashing and counter-flashing at the roof junction. We document this with photos during every Broadview inspection. If your fascia is rotting repeatedly despite gutter repairs, the roof transition is likely the source. We’ll show you exactly what we find. Call (855) 641-3418 for an inspection.
Yes, seamless gutters work well with skip-sheathing because they fasten to the fascia board, not the roof edge. The concern with skip-sheathing is roof-edge fastening for shingles, not gutter attachment. We use hidden hangers screwed into solid fascia at 24-inch spacing, which is more secure than the original nail-through-ferrule method. For Broadview homes with skip-sheathing, we often recommend simultaneous fascia inspection and replacement if needed. Seamless construction eliminates the seam failures that plague older sectional systems. Call (855) 641-3418 for a free estimate.
