Gutter installation
Summary: Celtic Rainwater Systems installs seamless 5-inch, 6-inch and half-round gutters, repairs existing systems, and adds gutter guards, custom leader heads and scupper boxes, snow bars and new fascia and soffit. It quotes after measuring; four Angi reviews list installs at $2,000 to $5,000[1][5].
What does gutter installation include?
The company’s gutter installation page lists eight kinds of work, set out below[1]. On the home page it says its team is “equipped to carefully remove existing gutters, take precise measurements of your home, and install new seamless gutters and downspouts”[2].
| Item | As described by the company |
|---|---|
| 5-inch gutters | Standard residential size listed by the company |
| 6-inch gutters | Larger size for bigger or steeper roofs; shown in company photos in white and black |
| Half-round gutters | Rounded profile, shown in company photos in copper |
| Gutter guards | Installed with new gutters or on existing ones |
| Repairs | Repairs to existing gutter systems |
| Leader heads and scupper boxes | Custom designed and installed, including copper scupper boxes |
| Snow bars | Installed on the roof, shown with gutter guards |
| Fascia and soffit | Fascia board inspected and replaced; fascia wrap and soffit replaced as needed |
Photo captions on the same pages show the finished work: “New 6” Black Gutters with 3x4 Linen Downspouts and Gutter Guards”, “6” White Gutters with 3x4 Downspouts and Gutter Guards”, “6” Copper Gutter Installation” and a copper scupper box feeding a 4-inch round copper downspout[2][1].
What is a seamless gutter?
A rain gutter is a channel along the roof edge that collects water and carries it to downspouts[3]. “Seamless” gutters are formed on site from a coil of metal, usually aluminum, by a roll-forming machine that cuts each run to the length of the wall. Because a run has joints only at corners and end caps, there are fewer places for leaks to start than with sectional gutters joined every few feet. Seamless gutters are the type the company says it installs[2].
5-inch or 6-inch?
Gutter size refers to the width across the top of the K-style profile. The company installs both[1]. A 6-inch gutter holds and carries noticeably more water than a 5-inch one, and it is usually paired with larger 3-by-4-inch downspouts like those in the company’s photos[2]. Which size suits a house depends on the roof area draining to each run, the roof pitch, the number of downspouts and the rainfall intensity the system is meant to handle. The sizing article works through that calculation with Indianapolis rainfall figures.
Why does fascia matter?
Gutters hang from the fascia board at the roof edge, so a rotten board cannot hold them. The company says, “We inspect all fascia board to ensure a secure gutter installation,” and its photos show the removal and replacement of rotten fascia before new gutters went up[1]. Overflowing or leaking gutters are one of the common causes of fascia rot, because water runs behind the gutter and soaks the wood. Replacing gutters without checking the board underneath can mean taking them down again later.
What are leader heads, scuppers and snow bars?
A leader head is a box at the top of a downspout that collects water from a gutter or a roof outlet. A scupper box takes water through an opening in a parapet wall or flat-roof edge. Both are often made of copper as a decorative feature, and the company lists custom design and installation of both[1]. Snow bars are bars fixed on the roof above the eaves to stop snow and ice sliding off in one mass, which can rip gutters off their hangers. The winter gutters article covers snow and ice in more detail. See the glossary for other terms.
What does gutter installation cost?
The company does not publish prices; it quotes after measuring[4]. Four verified reviews on its Angi profile list the price of a seamless metal gutter installation: $2,000, $3,000, $3,330 and $5,000[5]. Those are four individual jobs of unknown size, not a price list, but they give a sense of the range for whole-house work. Price depends on the length of gutter, the number of stories, the gutter size and material, guards, and any fascia repair. Indianapolis does not require a building permit for gutter replacement or installation on a one- or two-family home[6].
