StormRail prices gutter guards in Providence County by the foot on the first call. Gutter Clean Pro goes over sound gutters from $18/ft, and new seamless gutters with T-Rex start at $25/ft and with DoublePro at $30/ft. A certified Alu-Rex installer working in the county fits each job from the written plan you approved, and Rhode Island is one of six New England states we cover.
Providence County holds six in ten Rhode Islanders, three river valleys and a lot of old housing. The gutter questions are the same from the Blackstone to the Pawtuxet, and so is the price per foot.

Towns we cover in Providence County
A county on paper, and three rivers in practice
Rhode Island abolished county government in 1842, so Providence County today is a line for the courts and the sheriff. It still matters to anyone planning work on a house, because it is how people describe where they live. At the 2020 census the county held 660,741 people, 60.2% of the state. Its 16 municipalities run from the cities of Providence, Cranston, Pawtucket, East Providence, Woonsocket and Central Falls to towns such as Cumberland, Lincoln, Johnston, Smithfield, Scituate and Glocester.
Water shapes the county. The Blackstone, the Woonasquatucket and the Pawtuxet drain it, and in the west the Pawtuxet is dammed to form the Scituate Reservoir, which supplies drinking water to Providence and the communities around it. Jerimoth Hill, at 812 feet, is the highest natural point in the county and the state.
None of that changes how a gutter is priced. The per-foot rate is the same in every one of the 16 municipalities. What changes from house to house is the length of the eaves, the number of stories and what grows over the roof.
What a normal year and a bad week look like
The long-record NOAA station for this part of Rhode Island is at T.F. Green Airport in Warwick. Its 1991-2020 normals show 47.54 inches of precipitation a year, 36.6 inches of snow, 12.8 days with an inch of rain or more and about 109 nights at or below freezing. Those are airport figures, and a house farther inland can see something different, but they give a fair sense of the work: a dozen heavy rains and more than a hundred freezing nights.
A bad week looks like March 2010. On the morning of March 31 the Pawtuxet River at Cranston crested at 20.79 feet, beating a record set only a week and a half earlier. Many roads around Cranston and West Warwick were closed, and a section of I-95 shut. A gutter cannot keep a river out of a basement. It can stop the roof from adding its own water at the foundation, and on a night like that, the less water against the wall, the better.
Most guards cope with a drizzle. The test is a downpour, when a roof valley pushes a whole slope of water into a short stretch of gutter. The guard has to let it in, and the gutter and downspouts behind it have to carry it. That is the part we size on the call, and the overflow page explains what we look at.
- T.F. Green normals: 47.54 in of precipitation and 36.6 in of snow a year (NOAA, 1991-2020)
- About 13 days a year with an inch of rain or more
- About 109 nights a year at or below freezing
- March 31, 2010: Pawtuxet at Cranston crests at a record 20.79 ft
Old housing, and the gutter question that comes first
Much of the county's housing is older than people assume. In Cranston, Census estimates count 9,829 housing units built in 1939 or earlier, more than in any decade since, and the median home dates from 1958. About 63% of Cranston's units are detached single-family, and another 3,896 are in two-unit buildings.
On a house that age, the first question is the gutter itself. If it runs straight, drains to the outlets and stays dry at the seams, Gutter Clean Pro can go on top. If it has been patched for years, the guard belongs on a new seamless gutter, and T-Rex holds that gutter along its whole length with no spikes to loosen. Where needles, seeds or shingle grit are the problem, DoublePro adds a finer second layer, and DoublePro carries a lifetime clog-free warranty, pine needles included.
| System | 5-inch | 6-inch |
|---|---|---|
| Gutter Clean Pro (over a sound gutter) | $18/ft | $20/ft |
| T-Rex (new gutter included) | $25/ft | $29/ft |
| DoublePro (new gutter included) | $30/ft | $34/ft |
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Installed
The installer fits the system on the plan you already approved. Any balance is due as your quote states.
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
