Gutters are only as good as what they’re fastened to. This island ranch in Jamestown got the complete edge rebuild: rotted wood fascia replaced with cellular PVC trim that can never rot again, new seamless aluminum gutters hung on that solid base, and a fresh CertainTeed Landmark roof in Birchwood shedding into them.

Scope of Work

The crew stripped the roof and opened up the eaves, replacing weathered fascia and rake boards with cellular PVC trim — dimensionally stable, paint-friendly, and impervious to the salt-air moisture that eats island woodwork. Seamless aluminum gutters were roll-formed on site to each run’s exact length and hung with hidden hangers into solid backing. Above it all: ice and water shield, underlayment, new venting, and Landmark field shingles in Birchwood.

What We Installed (And Why)

Seamless gutters earn their name — each run is formed on site as one continuous piece, so the only joints are at corners and outlets. Fewer joints means fewer places to drip, sag, and pull loose. But the quiet hero is the PVC trim behind them: gutters screwed into rotting fascia fail no matter how good the gutter is.

Landmark in Birchwood is the light, warm-neutral blend — soft tan-gray tones that keep a white-sided island ranch bright instead of heavy. On an exposed Jamestown lot, the dual-layer construction matters as much as the color: island wind tests every course.

The edge rebuilt in the right order: deck, drip edge, trim — then gutters.

Working the eave line — fascia and gutter details are where roof edges live or die.

Good To Know: Should gutters be replaced at the same time as the roof?

It is the best time you will ever get. The roof’s drip edge laps INTO the gutter apron in the correct order only when both are installed together; retrofitting gutters later means working under finished shingles. Doing edge trim at the same time — while the eaves are open — turns three future projects into one, and every layer ends up in the right sequence. If your fascia shows peeling paint or soft spots, budget the trim with the gutters, not after them.

Why This Approach Works

Water leaves a roof through a four-part assembly — shingle edge, drip edge, trim, gutter — and it works only when built in that order on sound material. Rebuilding all four at once is why this edge will still be straight and dry in twenty years.
