Gutter installation in Denver, sized for Colorado water.
5-inch and 6-inch aluminum and steel K-style, oversized downspouts, custom copper, and guards that stand up to cottonwood fluff. Standalone, or bundled with your roof so it all works as one system.
What gutters does Bailey install in Denver?
Bailey Roofing installs 5-inch and 6-inch K-style gutters in aluminum and steel — aluminum being the most common — plus oversized downspouts, copper and custom copper systems, and Bulldog and wire-mesh gutter guards. Every system is sized to the roof above it and quoted in writing after a free inspection.
The full lineup:
- 5″ aluminum K-style — the Front Range workhorse: seamless runs, color-matched to your trim, right for most homes
- 5″ steel — for homes that want extra dent resistance against hail and ladders
- 6″ oversized gutters — for big, steep, or complex roofs that dump a lot of water fast
- Oversized downspouts — the cheapest capacity upgrade there is; most overflow problems are actually downspout problems
- Copper & custom copper — fabricated gutters and downspouts that outlast the mortgage and age into a patina
- Bulldog & wire-mesh gutter guards — because cottonwood fluff and pine needles clog an unprotected gutter faster than you can clean it
Why do gutters matter more in Colorado?
Because Colorado water arrives all at once. A summer cell can drop an inch of rain in twenty minutes, and freeze-thaw turns every overflow into foundation erosion, ice at the eaves, and rotted fascia. Gutters here aren't trim — they're the drainage system standing between your roof and your basement.
The failure pattern we see on inspections: undersized downspouts overflow in storms, water lands at the foundation, and winter turns the same overflow into ice dams that work under the shingles. Sizing the gutter and downspout to the actual roof area — not the builder's minimum — is most of the fix.
The honest version
If your gutters are sound, we'll tell you to keep them — a gutter check rides along free with every roof inspection. And no gutter guard on the market makes a gutter maintenance-free; guards cut cleaning dramatically, but "never think about it again" is a sales pitch, not a spec.
Should you bundle gutters with a reroof?
Usually the smart play. During a roof replacement the drip edge, flashing, and gutters can be integrated as one water-shedding system, and you save a second crew mobilization. Ask for the gutter line item on any replacement quote — and see finished work in the project gallery.

Do I need 5-inch or 6-inch gutters?
Most homes: 5-inch. Big, steep, or complex roofs that shed a lot of water fast: 6-inch, usually with oversized downspouts. If your current gutters overflow in summer downpours, that's the tell — we size the system to the roof, not the other way around.
Are gutter guards worth it in Colorado?
With cottonwoods or pines on the lot, usually yes — we install Bulldog and wire-mesh guards. They cut cleaning dramatically, though no guard makes a gutter truly maintenance-free, and we'll tell you that up front.
Should gutters be replaced with the roof?
Often, yes — drip edge, flashing, and gutters work best installed as one system, and you save a second mobilization. But if your gutters are sound, we say keep them. See roof replacement for how the bundle works.
Do you install copper gutters?
Yes — copper and custom copper gutters and downspouts, fabricated for the home. It costs several times more than aluminum and outlasts it by decades; on brick, stone, and historic homes, the patina is the point.
How do I know my gutters are failing?
Overflow sheeting over the edge, sagging runs, dripping seams, tiger-stripe stains on the face, erosion at the foundation — and in winter, a gutter full of ice every year. A gutter check is part of every free Bailey inspection.
Water off the roof, away from the house, done right.
