Skyridge Ricky's Pro Tip: Don't underestimate Utah runoff

"I see people spend $20k on a roof and then try to save $500 by keeping their old, undersized 5-inch gutters. Big mistake! When that Wasatch snow starts melting or we get a summer flash flood, those 5-inch troughs overflow in seconds. That water falls straight down and starts eating away at your foundation. In Utah, I always tell people: go with the 6-inch seamless. It's the best insurance policy you can buy for your basement!"

Why Your Gutter System is Part of Your Roof

Most people think of gutters as separate from the roof, but Skyridge Ricky and the crew treat them as one single drainage highway. If your gutters aren't pitched right or they're clogged with shingle grit, the water backs up under your shingles at the eave.

This is where the real damage happens. We call it "capillary action"—where water is sucked up behind the fascia board and starts rotting out your rafters. By the time you see a drip inside, the wood is already mush. Proper gutters and downspouts are the only way to make sure your roof actually does its job.

The Utah Snow Load Challenge

Utah roofs have to handle some of the heaviest snow loads in the country. When that snow sits in your gutters and turns into ice, standard gutter hangers can snap like toothpicks. That's why our installation process is different:

  • 01.

    Heavy-Duty Hangers

    We space our hangers closer together (every 18-24 inches) to support the weight of frozen ice dams.

  • 02.

    Seamless Aluminum

    Fewer seams means fewer places for ice to get a grip and cause a separation. We roll-form them right in your driveway.

  • 03.

    Oversized Downspouts

    We use 3x4 inch downspouts to make sure shingle grit and debris wash through without causing a bridge clog.

  • 04.

    Drip Edge Integration

    We make sure your roof's drip edge actually hangs *into* the gutter so water can't get behind it and rot the wood.

Do You Need a Gutter Tune-Up?

If you see water "overshooting" your gutters during a storm, or if you have icicles hanging from your fascia in the winter, your drainage is failing. We can often save your gutters with a simple realignment and hanger reinforcement.
