Gutters and siding do the unglamorous job of keeping water away from a house and its foundation. Gutters catch roof runoff and move it to downspouts and away from the foundation; siding seals the exterior walls against wind, rain, and temperature swings. When either fails, water finds its way into fascia boards, sheathing, basements, and framing, and that's usually a far bigger repair than the gutter or siding job would have been. We've gathered 9 contractors in Shelton who handle this work, from small gutter repairs to full siding replacements.
Shelton's mix of older homes and newer builds means jobs vary a lot. Some houses need seamless aluminum gutters custom-formed on site, others need vinyl or fiber cement siding replaced after storm damage or years of New England weather. A few contractors here handle both trades, which is useful if you're bundling a gutter and siding project together, or replacing siding damaged by a gutter that overflowed for years.
When you're comparing contractors, ask about material gauge and warranty terms (gutters especially vary widely in aluminum thickness), whether they install gutter guards or leaf protection, how they handle flashing and drip edges where siding meets the roofline, and whether they carry liability insurance and workers' comp. Get a written estimate that spells out materials, not just labor.
