Original 5" gutters
Original 5" gutters from 1950s installations are well past their service life.
Rebuild the structure before re-hanging gutters. Done right the first time.
Wood rot under failing gutters is one of the most under-treated problems on Merriam homes. We don't paint over it, mount new gutters on it, or pretend it isn't there. We cut it out, replace it with primed, paint-grade material, and rebuild the surface for a proper gutter install.
Probe-testing every linear foot of fascia on your Merriam home means we don't miss hidden rot behind seemingly-good paint.

Same crews. Same warranty. Same 5.0-star standard. Some of the Merriam neighborhoods where we’ve worked:
“I've had three different gutter companies out over the years. Premier is the only one who actually fixed the underlying problem instead of just patching it. New customer for life.”
“I had three quotes — Premier wasn't the cheapest, but the warranty, materials, and professionalism made it an easy call. Two years later, zero issues, even after the worst storms.”
