Gutters in Golden, CO

Gutters quietly do more work in Golden than almost anywhere on the Front Range, because the water has to go somewhere and the terrain rarely makes it easy. It's the gap at the mouth of Clear Creek Canyon that defines a Golden roof's drainage problem — downslope and Chinook winds funnel straight into town, driving heavy summer downpours sideways and overwhelming the undersized, builder-grade gutters that came on most homes. When the channel can't keep up, water sheets off the eaves and pools right where you least want it: against the fascia, the siding, and the foundation. On the hillside lots in Golden Heights and Eagle Ridge, that runoff also has slope working against it, so getting the pitch and discharge right is the difference between a dry crawlspace and a recurring repair.

That's why CR Custom Exteriors treats gutters as a real drainage system, not an afterthought tacked onto a roof. We install seamless aluminum gutters cut to length on-site, oversized downspouts that can actually move a Front Range cloudburst, and gutter guards sized to shed hail debris and pine litter instead of clogging on it. Just as important, we set the correct pitch and route the discharge well away from the foundation — the detail that protects everything below the roofline through Golden's hard freeze-thaw winters, when standing water in a poorly pitched run turns to ice and pulls the gutter loose. From the older homes Downtown and in Historic Golden to Mesa Meadows and Stonebridge at Fossil Trace, we integrate the gutters with the roof and siding so the whole exterior drains as one system. We're family-owned, licensed and insured, with 10+ years on Front Range homes.
