When your gutters work right, everything else falls into place. No more foundation cracks from water pooling around your home. No more rotted fascia boards or damaged siding from overflow.
You get seamless protection designed specifically for Ardmore’s weather patterns. Heavy spring rains flow smoothly away from your foundation. Winter storms don’t leave standing water that freezes and expands in your system.
Your landscaping stays intact because water goes where it should—through downspouts and away from your property. That’s what proper gutter installation does for Maryland homeowners who want to stop worrying about water damage.
Bay Area Exteriors LLC has been serving Ardmore and the Eastern Shore for over three decades. We’ve earned GAF Master Elite status, ranking among the top 2% of roofing contractors nationwide.
This isn’t just another contractor. We’re a family-owned business that understands how Maryland’s coastal climate affects your home. We know that Ardmore homeowners deal with sudden downpours, salt air, and seasonal storms that can overwhelm inadequate gutter systems.
Our team handles everything from insurance claims to final cleanup. When storm damage hits your gutters, we work directly with your insurance company to streamline the process and minimize your out-of-pocket costs.
The process starts with a thorough assessment of your home’s specific needs. We measure your roofline and evaluate how water currently flows around your property.
Next comes material selection. You’ll choose from aluminum, copper, or vinyl options that match your home’s style and budget. Seamless gutters get custom-cut on-site for a perfect fit with no weak joints or seams.
Installation typically happens in one to two days. Our crew protects your landscaping, removes old gutters if needed, and installs your new system with proper pitch and secure mounting. We test water flow and clean up completely before considering the job finished.

Your gutter installation includes custom-fit seamless gutters designed for Ardmore’s unique weather challenges. These systems handle everything from sudden summer thunderstorms to winter ice and snow loads.
Each installation comes with proper downspout placement to direct water well away from your foundation. We position downspouts based on your property’s natural drainage patterns and local soil conditions.
You also get enhanced GAF warranties that cover both materials and workmanship. This means protection beyond standard manufacturer guarantees, giving you confidence in your investment. Our Master Elite certification ensures installation meets the highest industry standards for coastal Maryland homes.
Gutter installation costs in the Ardmore area typically range from $600 to $3,000, depending on your home’s size and the materials you choose. Vinyl gutters start around $3-5 per linear foot, while aluminum runs $6-12 per foot.
The total price includes removal of old gutters, proper disposal, new gutter installation, downspouts, and cleanup. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you won’t face surprise charges.
Factors that affect your final cost include the number of corners and downspouts needed, your roof’s complexity, and whether you add gutter guards. Most Ardmore homes need 100-200 linear feet of gutters, making the average project fall in the $1,200-2,000 range for quality aluminum systems.
Seamless aluminum gutters perform best in Maryland’s coastal climate. They resist the salt air corrosion that affects homes near the Eastern Shore while handling heavy rainfall without warping or cracking.
Aluminum gutters don’t rust like steel and won’t crack in winter freeze-thaw cycles like vinyl can. They’re lightweight enough to avoid stressing your fascia boards but strong enough to handle Maryland’s occasional ice loads.
For premium protection, copper gutters offer 50+ year lifespans and develop an attractive patina over time. However, most Ardmore homeowners find aluminum provides the best balance of performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness for local conditions.
Most gutter installations in Ardmore take 1-2 days to complete. Single-story homes often finish in one day, while two-story homes or complex rooflines may require an additional day.
The timeline depends on factors like removing old gutters, the number of downspouts needed, and weather conditions. We schedule installations during dry periods to ensure proper installation and curing of all sealants.
You’ll get a specific timeline during your estimate appointment. Our crew arrives early, works efficiently, and cleans up completely before leaving. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly professional installation happens compared to DIY attempts that can drag on for weeks.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies to handle storm damage claims. We document damage thoroughly, meet with adjusters on-site, and provide detailed repair estimates that insurance companies accept.
Many homeowners don’t realize their insurance covers gutter damage from wind, hail, or falling trees. Our experience with insurance processes means we know exactly what documentation adjusters need and how to present claims for approval.
This service often saves homeowners thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs. Instead of paying full replacement costs, you typically only pay your deductible while insurance covers the rest. The process usually takes 2-3 weeks from initial claim to completed installation.
Ardmore homeowners should clean gutters 2-4 times per year due to moderate tree cover and regular rainfall. Spring and fall cleanings are essential, with additional cleanings needed if you have many trees near your home.
Signs you need cleaning include water overflowing during rain, sagging sections, or visible debris buildup. Clogged gutters can cause foundation damage, basement flooding, and landscape erosion around your property.
Professional cleaning costs $149-250 in the Ardmore area and includes downspout clearing and basic inspection. Some homeowners add gutter guards during installation to reduce cleaning frequency, though occasional maintenance is still needed even with guards installed.
We provide enhanced GAF warranties that cover both materials and workmanship. Material warranties typically run 20-30 years for aluminum gutters, while workmanship warranties cover 2-3 years on installation.
As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we offer stronger warranty protection than standard installers can provide. This includes coverage for manufacturing defects, installation issues, and premature wear under normal weather conditions.
The warranty covers repair or replacement of defective components and labor costs for warranty work. You’ll receive all warranty documentation at project completion, and we maintain detailed records to honor warranty claims years later.
