When your gutters work right, water flows where it should—away from your foundation, out of your basement, and off your roof without causing problems. You won’t see water stains on your siding or deal with soggy landscaping around your home’s perimeter.
Maryland homeowners know what happens when gutters fail. Foundation cracks. Basement flooding. Ice dams in winter. The average repair bill hits $2,386 for water damage alone—and that’s before you factor in foundation work that can cost up to $25,000.
Professional gutter installation means proper pitch, seamless construction, and materials that handle Maryland’s weather year-round. You get gutters that drain completely, don’t sag under snow loads, and keep working through our temperature swings from December through February.
Bay Area Exteriors has served Maryland’s Eastern Shore for over 30 years. We hold GAF Master Elite certification, ranking among the top 2% of roofing contractors nationwide—a distinction earned through proven expertise, proper licensing, and ongoing professional training.
As a family-owned business, we understand Largo’s specific challenges. The area’s dense tree coverage means gutters collect more than just rainwater. Maple seeds can travel 100 feet from the nearest tree, and Maryland’s steady precipitation pattern—rain 30% of the time—puts constant demand on your drainage system.
We handle insurance claims for storm damage, working directly with adjusters to ensure proper coverage. Our BBB A+ rating and GAF Master Elite status provide enhanced warranties that cover both materials and workmanship.
Our process starts with a thorough inspection of your roofline, fascia boards, and current drainage patterns. We measure your home’s specific requirements and calculate the proper pitch needed for complete water flow—typically a quarter-inch drop per 10 feet of gutter.
Installation begins with removing old gutters if necessary, then mounting new hangers every 24 inches for proper support. Seamless gutters are custom-cut on-site to eliminate joints where leaks typically develop. Downspouts are positioned to direct water at least 6 feet away from your foundation.
We test the entire system with running water to verify proper flow and check all connections. Most installations complete in one day. You’ll receive documentation of warranties and maintenance recommendations to keep your investment protected. Cleanup is thorough—the only sign we were there is your new gutter system working exactly as it should.

Maryland’s climate puts gutters through serious tests. Largo receives more rainfall than the national average, plus winter brings ice, snow, and the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy poorly installed systems. Your gutters need to handle 19 inches of annual snowfall and temperatures that swing from freezing to thawing throughout winter months.
We install seamless aluminum gutters with heavy-gauge construction that won’t warp, rust, or deteriorate under Maryland conditions. The seamless design eliminates the weak points where sectional gutters typically fail. Proper mounting with screws instead of spikes ensures your gutters stay attached during wind storms and heavy snow loads.
Gutter guards are available to reduce maintenance in areas with heavy tree coverage. We also provide ongoing maintenance programs and repair services. Enhanced GAF warranties cover materials for 5-10 years and labor for 1-3 years, giving you protection that matches the quality of our installation.
Gutter installation in Largo typically costs between $404 and $3,516, with an average of $3.90 per linear foot. The final price depends on your home’s size, number of stories, and whether you choose sectional or seamless gutters.
Seamless gutters cost more upfront but eliminate the joints where leaks develop, reducing long-term maintenance costs. Most Largo homes need 150-200 linear feet of gutters. We provide written estimates after measuring your specific requirements.
Additional factors affecting cost include downspout placement, gutter guards, and any fascia board repairs needed before installation. The investment prevents water damage that averages $2,386 to repair—making professional installation a cost-effective choice for protecting your home.
Heavy-gauge aluminum seamless gutters perform best in Maryland’s climate. They resist rust, handle temperature swings without warping, and the seamless construction eliminates leak points that cause problems during freeze-thaw cycles.
Maryland receives 42 inches of annual rainfall plus 19 inches of snow, creating conditions that destroy lightweight gutters. Professional-grade aluminum gutters with proper mounting hardware stay secure during wind storms and support snow loads without sagging.
Copper gutters offer superior longevity—lasting 100+ years—but cost significantly more. For most Largo homeowners, quality aluminum gutters with enhanced warranties provide the best combination of performance, durability, and value for Maryland’s weather conditions.
Most gutter installations in Largo complete in one day. Our experienced crews work efficiently while maintaining quality standards that meet GAF Master Elite requirements.
The timeline depends on your home’s size and complexity. Single-story homes with straightforward rooflines typically finish in 4-6 hours. Two-story homes or those requiring fascia board repairs may take a full day or extend to a second day.
Weather can affect scheduling—installation requires dry conditions for proper mounting and sealing. We provide realistic timelines during the estimate process and keep you informed of any schedule changes due to weather or unforeseen conditions discovered during installation.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies for storm damage claims. Our experience with insurance processes helps homeowners navigate claims and often results in coverage for complete gutter replacement when adjusters initially recommend partial repairs.
Our process begins with a thorough inspection documenting all storm damage. We provide detailed reports with photos that support your claim. We meet with insurance adjusters on-site and advocate for proper repairs rather than temporary fixes.
Many customers pay only their deductible for complete gutter replacement through insurance coverage. We handle the paperwork and communication with your insurance company, making the process straightforward during an already stressful time dealing with storm damage.
New gutters require cleaning 2-3 times per year in Maryland due to heavy tree coverage and frequent precipitation. We recommend cleaning in late spring, mid-fall, and after major storms when debris accumulates.
Seamless gutters require less maintenance than sectional systems because there are fewer joints where debris collects. Gutter guards significantly reduce cleaning frequency but don’t eliminate it entirely—they still need occasional inspection and debris removal.
Professional maintenance includes checking for proper water flow, inspecting mounting hardware, and ensuring downspouts direct water away from your foundation. We offer maintenance programs for customers who prefer professional service rather than climbing ladders themselves.
Seamless gutters eliminate the joints where most gutter problems develop. Sectional gutters use connectors every 10 feet that eventually leak as seals deteriorate and thermal expansion causes separation.
Maryland’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on sectional gutter joints. Ice formation forces joints apart, creating leaks that worsen each winter. Seamless gutters have joints only at corners and downspout connections, dramatically reducing potential failure points.
The custom fabrication process ensures perfect fit for your specific roofline. We measure precisely and cut gutters on-site, eliminating the compromise fits common with pre-manufactured sectional systems. While seamless gutters cost more initially, they last longer and require fewer repairs over their lifetime.
