Case Studies

The Problem150 mph hail in May 2025 left every gutter on a 2,200 sq ft Lee's Summit home pitted, dented, and leaking. Homeowner had no idea what their insurance covered or how to file the claim.

Our ApproachPremier inspected within 48 hours of the storm, photographed every damaged run from multiple angles, and submitted documentation directly to the adjuster. We coordinated install timing with the claim payout.

The OutcomeFull $4,200 replacement covered by insurance minus deductible. New 6″ K-style .032 aluminum gutters installed in a single day, registered for 25-year workmanship warranty. Homeowner had zero out-of-pocket beyond their deductible.

The ProblemOriginal copper half-round gutters from the 1920s on a Brookside historic home were beautiful but failing — leaking at seams, sagging in 3 sections, with hidden fascia rot underneath.

Our ApproachRemoved the original copper, hand-replaced 14 linear feet of fascia with primed paint-grade lumber, and installed new 6″ copper half-round to match the home's period architecture. Color-matched the new fascia paint to existing trim.

The OutcomePeriod-correct restoration that will outlive the homeowner. New copper system will patina to match the home's character over the next 5-10 years. Total project: $7,800.

The ProblemOlathe homeowner had been dealing with basement seepage for years. Three previous contractors had focused on the basement waterproofing. Premier's free inspection showed the real issue: undersized 2×3 downspouts dumping water within 2 feet of the foundation.

Our ApproachUpgraded all downspouts to oversized 3×4 (40% more capacity), buried 4 of them in PVC drainage to pop-up emitters 12 feet from the foundation. Total install in one day.

The OutcomeBasement seepage problem eliminated. Cost: $1,400. The homeowner had previously spent $11,000 on basement waterproofing that didn't address the cause.

The ProblemMission Hills home with 14 mature oak trees overhanging the roof. Homeowner was paying for quarterly gutter cleanings just to keep up. Wanted a permanent solution.

Our ApproachInstalled LeafBlaster Pro micro-mesh on all 240 linear feet of gutters in a single day. Cleaned and adjusted existing 6″ aluminum first, then snap-fit the mesh into the front lip with no roof penetration.

The OutcomeNo more cleanings needed. Lifetime no-clog warranty registered to the home. Homeowner saved $400/year in cleaning costs that paid for the install in under 5 years. Total: $2,400.
