Gutter replacement in Wethersfield, CT

From $25/ft installed · T-Rex

Call (617) 401-9301Answered any hour · no in-home sales pitch

For Wethersfield homes, StormRail prices new gutters with the guard built in: T-Rex from $25/ft or DoublePro from $30/ft on 5-inch, installed, with downspouts from $14/ft. The phone is answered any hour and you hear a number the same day. A certified installer working in Hartford County does the job from the written plan you signed off on.

Half of Wethersfield's houses went up between 1940 and 1969. A gutter hung in those years has had a long time to loosen. We price the new run by the foot, on one call, with the guard already part of it.

Postwar ranches and Colonials, seventy years on

Wethersfield's median home dates to 1960. Of the town's 11,747 housing units, 5,894 were built between 1940 and 1969, and the 1950s alone produced 2,901 of them. Another 2,342 are older than 1940. Most are single-family detached houses: 8,601 of them, or 73 percent.

The Wethersfield Historical Society traces a lot of that stock to postwar subdivisions. Timber Village in the west of town began in 1950. Glenwood Homes put up five-room ranches in 1950 and 1951. Pyquag Village was planned in the mid-1960s for Colonials of at least 1,900 square feet, Cedar Meadow added Colonials from 1969, and Ridge Crest mixed raised ranches, side-by-side Colonials and L-shaped ranches.

Those shapes matter for the gutter. A long, low ranch has one or two straight runs and short drops to the ground. A Colonial has more corners and two-story downspouts. An L-shaped ranch has an inside corner where two roof faces meet and send their water into a few feet of gutter. When you call, tell us which of these you live in. It shapes the price more than the town does.

Signs the old run should come down

A gutter from the 1960s or 1970s has usually been patched, re-pitched and re-nailed more than once. Walk around the house after a steady rain and look for four things. Water dripping from a seam or an end cap. A section that sags so water sits in it. A corner where the gutter has pulled a finger's width off the fascia. Paint peeling on the board behind the gutter, which means water has been getting behind it.

If you see none of those, keep the gutters and put Gutter Clean Pro on them from $18 per foot. If you see one or more, a cover will not hold the run up or seal its seams, and a replacement is the better use of the money. We say which on the call, and we will not sell you the dearer option to be safe.

Two systems, priced per foot of new gutter

Every replacement we quote uses one of two Alu-Rex systems, and the gutter, the guard and the labor all sit inside one per-foot number. T-Rex costs $25 per foot on a 5-inch gutter and $29 on a 6-inch. Its hanger runs the whole length of the gutter and is perforated on top, so it holds the gutter up and keeps leaves out in the same piece. DoublePro costs $30 and $34, and puts a second filter layer under the first for needles and seed pods.

Downspouts are added at $14 per foot, or $16 for 6-inch work, elbows included. A Colonial's two-story drops cost more than a ranch's short ones, and the quote shows that as footage rather than hiding it in the gutter rate. Taking the old gutters down is $1 per foot. The price list is public, and your quote uses the same numbers.

Under broadleaf trees, T-Rex is the usual starting point. If pine or other needle-dropping trees overhang the roof, DoublePro is worth the extra few dollars a foot. The warranties differ, and the warranty page puts them next to each other.

The historic district, the weather and the leaf rounds

The town calls Old Wethersfield the largest historic district in Connecticut, with more than 150 structures built before 1850. Historic Wethersfield counts fifty houses there from before the Revolutionary War. Inside the district, any exterior alteration visible from a street or sidewalk needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic District Commission. Ordinary maintenance or repair that does not change the existing design, materials, scale or appearance does not. The town's FAQ does not mention gutters. The Commission meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of most months, and the process can take two weeks to two months, so ask early. We schedule around whatever the Commission tells you.

At NOAA's Hartford Brainard Field station, the 1991 to 2020 normals are 42.83 inches of precipitation a year and 10.6 days with an inch or more of rain. Those are Hartford figures, not a Wethersfield measurement. Ten or so real downpours a year is the test for a gutter. Most guards cope fine with a drizzle. Trouble starts in a downpour, when an inside corner has to take two roof faces at once.

Storms also bring trees down. After the June 6, 2026 thunderstorms, WFSB reported a downed tree that nearly missed a home in Wethersfield. And each fall the town collects curbside leaves in two rounds, this year November 2 to December 5, from a row on the snow shelf behind the curb. The rounds clear the lawn. A guard keeps the same leaves out of the gutter between them.

Call to install: every step

Three ways to start

  • Call (617) 401-9301. It is answered any hour, and a missed call gets called back.
  • Send the short form on the home page with your street address, and your number lands in your inbox.
  • Text or chat through the chat window on this site.

  1. Understand what you actually need

    About fifteen minutes on the phone: the length of the roofline, the number of stories and the trees around the house. The roofline is measured remotely, so nobody comes to the house to sell. You get your price the same day, from the published per-foot rates.

    • Gutters still in good shape: Gutter Clean Pro goes over the gutters you already have, from $18/ft.
    • Gutters that need replacing: new gutters with the guard built in. T-Rex (continuous hanger) from $25/ft, or DoublePro (two filtration layers) from $30/ft.
    • Fascia that cannot be drilled: Hover Pro, quoted for your house.
    • Complex rooflines, third stories and copper are quoted separately, and we say so on the call, never after arrival.

  2. Your plan, in writing

    You get a written quote and your StormRail plan: photos of your house, the system, the gutter size and your color choices. The certified installer works from that same plan, so you and the installer are never on different pages.

  3. A deposit capped at one third

    Massachusetts law caps a home-improvement deposit at one third of the contract. We hold to that in every state we work in. Your quote names the exact figure before you pay anything.

  4. Material ordered and confirmed

    Your Alu-Rex system is ordered through the Alu-Rex distributor and confirmed before an install date is set, so the date you get is one the material can meet.

  5. Scheduled with a certified installer in your county

    A certified Alu-Rex installer working in your area takes the job, and you get the date without chasing anyone. In season we're typically booking four to six weeks out. We'd rather tell you that now than promise you Tuesday and send whoever happened to be free. Emergency work — a collapsed run, active water in the basement — gets triaged ahead of the queue.

  6. Installed

    The installer fits the system on the plan you already approved. Any balance is due as your quote states.

  7. After the install

    We check in after the job is done. Each system carries its own written Alu-Rex warranty:

    • Gutter Clean Pro: manufacturing lifetime limited, clog performance lifetime limited, including coniferous areas
    • T-Rex: manufacturing lifetime limited, clog performance 25-year prorated limited
    • DoublePro: manufacturing lifetime limited, clog performance lifetime limited, including coniferous areas

Questions homeowners ask

Is a new gutter on a Wethersfield ranch cheaper than on a Colonial?

Usually, because the price is per foot. A ranch often has less gutter and much shorter downspouts. A Colonial has more corners and two-story drops, and the downspout line grows with them.

Do I need a certificate to replace gutters in the historic district?

The town FAQ says visible exterior alterations need a Certificate of Appropriateness and ordinary maintenance that keeps the existing design does not. It does not name gutters, so ask the Historic District Commission before the job is scheduled.

Can you give me a Wethersfield price over the phone?

Yes. Call (617) 401-9301. We measure the roofline remotely and give you the number on the call, with no one coming to the house to sell.

What does the deposit look like?

It is capped at one third of the contract. The written quote states the exact figure before you pay.

Which system suits a yard of broadleaf trees?

T-Rex, from $25 per foot on 5-inch. If needles also fall on the roof, DoublePro's second layer is the better match.
