Gutters only matter in places with frequent storms.
Fact
Every house needs its roof water directed away from the foundation, and on Kenner's flat lots that matters even more.

Gutter contractor in Kenner, LA
Gutters that work on Kenner's flat, low lots
We install seamless gutters, repair failing runs and replace systems that can't keep up, across Kenner. On ground this flat, the job isn't finished until the downspouts carry water well away from the house, so downspout extensions are part of the work.
If your gutters overflow, sag or drop water beside the house, contact us for a free estimate in Kenner.
Local conditions
Why do Kenner homes need well-planned gutters?
Because Kenner is low, flat and wet. Much of it is drained former swampland between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, and the area averages about 63 inches of rain a year. Water that isn't carried away from the house tends to sit against it.
Built on drained swampland
Much of the northern half of the city was swamp until developers drained and filled it in the late 1950s. That ground is low and flat, so water that lands beside a house tends to stay there.
Between the river and the lake
Kenner sits between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain. The ground has little natural slope, which makes downspout placement and extensions matter more than usual.
About 63 inches of rain a year
The New Orleans area averages about 63 inches of rain a year. Gutters sized and pitched for that volume are what keep it off your walls and foundation.

What to watch for
What gutter problems should Kenner homeowners watch for?
Overflow in heavy rain, sagging runs, leaking joints and downspouts that empty beside the foundation. On flat lots the last one does the most damage, because the water has nowhere to go.
- 1
Overflowing runs
Clogged or undersized gutters spilling over the front edge in heavy rain.
- 2
Sagging sections
Loose or widely spaced hangers letting a run pull away from the fascia.
- 3
Leaking joints
Seams and corners on sectional gutters opening up over time.
- 4
Water at the foundation
Downspouts emptying right beside the house on a flat lot.
Myth or fact
Common gutter myths, and what's actually true
Three beliefs lead a lot of homeowners to put off gutter work: that gutters only matter in stormy places, that a yearly cleaning is enough, and that guards end maintenance. None of them holds up, especially on flat, low ground like Kenner's.
Myth
Cleaning once a year is enough.
Fact
Plan on at least twice a year, spring and fall, and more under heavy tree cover.
Myth
Gutter guards mean no maintenance.
Fact
Guards keep out most debris, but the system still needs an occasional check and cleaning.

Request a FREE QuoteDo you install gutters in Kenner?
Yes. We install, repair and replace gutters across Kenner, between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, including the neighborhoods north of Airline Highway. We work on homes and businesses, estimates are free, and we assess your home before we recommend anything.
How much does gutter installation cost in Kenner?
It depends on the length of gutter your home needs, the material and style, the number of stories, the downspouts and extensions, and whether you add a leaf guard system. We give Kenner homeowners a free estimate after assessing the home.
Do you repair gutters, or only replace them?
Both. If your system is sound, our repairs address leaks, clogs, sagging and corrosion with quality materials. If the gutters are undersized for your roof or failing in several places, we will talk you through whether a replacement makes more sense.
Are gutter guards worth it in Kenner?
If trees overhang your roof, usually yes. Clogs are the main reason gutters overflow, and an overflowing gutter on a flat Kenner lot puts water right where it does the most harm. Guards reduce clogs and cleanings, but they don't remove maintenance entirely.
How far should downspouts drain on a flat Kenner lot?
At least 4 feet from the foundation, onto ground that slopes away from the house. Much of Kenner is low, flat former swampland, so longer extensions or a better outlet location can make a real difference. We provide downspout extensions sized to your lot.
How often should Kenner homeowners clean their gutters?
At least twice a year, once in spring and again in fall, and more often if trees overhang the roof or after a heavy storm. Clogged gutters overflow fast in a downpour. On a Kenner home under trees, a leaf guard system means fewer cleanings and fewer clogs between them.
