Gutter installation in Baton Rouge
Seamless gutters sized for Baton Rouge downpours
We install seamless gutters, repair damaged runs and replace systems that can't handle the rain, across Baton Rouge. The city sits well above the river parishes downstream, but it still gets about 62 inches of rain a year, so gutter size and downspout placement matter here too.
If your gutters spill over in a hard storm or leave puddles by the foundation, contact us for a free estimate in Baton Rouge.
The rain load
How much water do gutters in Baton Rouge have to handle?
More than you might expect. Using the USGS runoff figure, an 1,800 square foot roof sheds about 1,100 gallons for every inch of rain. At Baton Rouge's 61.9-inch annual average, that's about 69,000 gallons a year, every drop of it needing a route away from the house.
Baton Rouge ranks fifth among the wettest cities in the United States. When gutters can't keep up, that water ends up causing fascia and soffit rot and moisture at the foundation.
Rainfall: NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals for Baton Rouge, 61.9 inches, via Current Results. Runoff: about 27,154 gallons per inch of rain on an acre, per the USGS Water Science School, scaled to an 1,800 sq ft roof. Wettest-city ranking: Baton Rouge (Wikipedia).

What about Baton Rouge's terrain matters for gutters?
Baton Rouge sits on the Istrouma Bluff, the first natural bluff up the Mississippi from the Gulf, at roughly 56 to 62 feet above sea level. That height helps with the river, not with rain. In August 2016, a gauge on Hooper Road near the city recorded 21.05 inches in about three days.
On the first bluff upriver
The city grew on the Istrouma Bluff and is the seat of East Baton Rouge Parish, the state's most populous parish. Sitting higher than the river parishes downstream doesn't change how much rain your roof collects.
Rain that comes in bursts
The same August 2016 storm brought record flooding to the Amite and Comite river basins, and the Comite River gauge near Baker logged 21.18 inches. Gutters have to clear water quickly when rain arrives like that.
61.9 inches in a normal year
Even without a record storm, the Baton Rouge station averages 61.9 inches a year. Gutters sized and pitched correctly, with downspouts that empty away from the house, keep that rain off the walls.

What we install
Which seamless gutters fit Baton Rouge homes?
Many Baton Rouge homes are well served by K-style aluminum formed as one continuous run per roof edge, with few joints to leak. Box style handles larger roof areas, and copper, zinc or half-round profiles offer a more traditional finish for owners who want that look.
02
Box Style
A squared profile for bigger roof areas and commercial buildings, matched to your trim. See our box style gutters.
03
Copper and Half-Round
A rounded profile in copper or zinc for a classic look that weathers to a natural patina. See copper and half-round gutters.
Warning signs
Signs your gutters can't keep up with Baton Rouge rain
Water sheeting over the front edge in a storm, runs that sag or pull away, stains and peeling paint below the gutter line, and puddles along the foundation after rain. Any of these means the system is clogged, too small or out of pitch, and it's time for an assessment.
Isolated problems are usually a gutter repair. When they show up all around the house, a gutter replacement is often the better fix.
- 1
Overflow in heavy rain
Water pouring over the front edge points to clogs, an undersized gutter or too few downspouts.
- 2
Sagging or loose runs
Hangers that have pulled out let sections tip and hold water.
- 3
Stains and peeling paint
Marks on siding or fascia below the gutter line show water escaping where it shouldn't.
- 4
Puddles at the foundation
Downspouts emptying beside the wall instead of out into the yard.
