Historic homes with box gutters need either restoration or modern conversion.
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 Tonganoxie 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.
On the mid-century Tonganoxie homes, we often combine wood rot repair with a full gutter replacement — one job, one warranty, one crew on-site.
