Aluminum Gutter Installation by Wind Proof Roofing
Aluminum gutter installation from Wind Proof Roofing LLC starts with the old system. The company's gutter page lists "full removal of old or damaged gutter systems" and "careful inspection of fascia boards and roof edges" as part of the work.
The new gutters are custom seamless runs. The company's project page describes them as "custom seamless gutters sized for heavy PNW rainfall, with downspouts placed to protect the foundation and siding."
Homeowners can choose between corrosion-resistant aluminum and steel. Wind Proof Roofing says both options are meant to withstand the rain, wind and temperature swings of the Pacific Northwest.
Aluminum vs. Steel Gutters: Practical Differences
Aluminum and steel gutters are both offered by Wind Proof Roofing as corrosion-resistant options, and they behave differently on a house. The points below are general material characteristics, not measured specifications, so confirm how they apply to your property with the installer.
Aluminum is the lighter of the two metals. Lighter gutters are generally easier to form into long seamless runs and put less weight on the fascia. The trade-off is that a thin metal can dent when a ladder is leaned against it or a branch falls on it.
| Factor | Aluminum gutters (general) | Steel gutters (general) | What to ask the installer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | Lighter | Heavier | Is the fascia in shape to carry the gutter? |
| Dents | Can dent from ladders or falling branches | Stiffer, generally resists dents better | Which material suits the trees and ladder access at this house? |
| Corrosion | Does not rust like bare steel | Depends on its coating; watch scratches and cut edges | How will the material hold up at this exposure? |
| Seamless runs | Commonly formed into long seamless lengths | Available, depending on the installer | Where will corners, joints and end caps fall? |
| Fasteners and contact | Needs compatible hangers and fasteners | Needs compatible hangers and fasteners | What metal will touch the gutter and roof edge? |
Aluminum Gutter Cost: What the Sources Show
Aluminum gutter cost in Oak Harbor, Anacortes and the rest of the service area has no aluminum-specific figure in the sources used for this page, and Wind Proof Roofing does not list a standard price on its website. The closest sourced figures are national planning ranges for seamless gutters in general, shown below; they do not separate aluminum from other metals and are not Wind Proof Roofing quotes.

|---|---|

| thisoldhouse.com (2026) | An average of $1,983 for 200 linear feet, or roughly $9.92 per linear foot; the source says 200 linear feet covers most 2,000-square-foot homes |
Gutter Guards for Aluminum Gutters
Gutter guards can be added to aluminum gutters installed by Wind Proof Roofing. The company says to "ask about gutter guards to minimize clogging from pine needles, moss, and leaves common in this region."
Decision Checklist Before Choosing Aluminum Gutters
An aluminum gutter decision goes faster when you have answers to a few questions before the estimate visit. Work through the list below and bring your notes.
- Where does water spill, overflow or splash against siding today?
- Do any downspouts empty close to the foundation, a walkway or a door?
- Are the fascia boards soft, stained or pulling away anywhere you can see from the ground?
- Will ladders lean on the gutters often, or do branches hang over the roof, making dent resistance a priority?
- Is a roof replacement or repair coming soon, so the gutters and roof edge can be planned together?
- Which trees drop needles, leaves or moss onto the roof?
- Do you prefer aluminum or steel, and do you need a specific color?
- Is the property a single home, a multi-family building or a condominium that needs coordination with neighbors?
What to Compare in an Aluminum Gutter Estimate
Aluminum gutter estimates are only comparable when each one covers the same scope. Ask every contractor the same questions so the totals mean the same thing.
- Is the gutter material aluminum or steel, and which profile and color?
- Are the runs seamless and custom formed for the house?
- Which hangers and fasteners will be used, and are they compatible with aluminum?
- How many downspouts are included, and where will each one discharge?
- Is removal and disposal of the old gutters included?
- What happens if the inspection finds damaged fascia boards, and how is that priced?
- Are gutter guards included, optional or not offered?
- Is the estimate in writing, with the scope listed line by line?
Common Aluminum Gutter Mistakes That Cause Rework
Aluminum gutter rework usually comes from decisions made before the first hanger goes up. The points below are general guidance, not a promise about any one project.
Hanging new aluminum gutters on fascia that has not been checked can mean taking them down again to repair the board. Wind Proof Roofing includes "careful inspection of fascia boards and roof edges" in its gutter process for that reason.
Leaning ladders directly on new aluminum gutters can leave dents. Ask the installer how the gutters should be accessed for cleaning or roof work afterward.
General Sequence of an Aluminum Gutter Replacement
An aluminum gutter replacement generally follows the order below. The removal and fascia inspection steps come from Wind Proof Roofing's described gutter process; the rest is general guidance, so confirm the exact plan for your house on the gutter estimate.

- Removal of the old or damaged gutter system.
- Inspection of fascia boards and roof edges, with any needed repairs discussed before new gutters go up.
- Seamless gutter runs formed to the measured lengths.
- Gutters hung with compatible hangers and downspouts set to carry water away from the foundation and siding.
- Gutter guards installed if you chose them, then a final walk-around.
