Pittsburgh winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles that crack seams and pop hangers on older homes in Squirrel Hill and Regent Square. We use 5-inch K-style aluminum with external brackets spaced 24 inches on center to handle the load. Cheap crews often skip the brackets and just screw through the gutter, which pulls out after the first heavy snow.
Many houses in Bloomfield and Lawrenceville still have half-round galvanized gutters from the 1950s. Those rust through at the joints and back up water under the roof edge. We replace them with seamless runs cut on site so there are no lap joints for leaves to catch. Permits are not required for straight gutter swaps in Allegheny County, but we still pull one if we have to sister rafter tails.
Point Breeze and Greenfield get heavy maple and oak leaf drop every fall. A 1/4-inch screen guard keeps most debris out while letting water through. We install the guard after the new gutters so it sits inside the front lip and does not create a new ledge for ice to form.
South Side and Mount Washington homes often sit on steep lots with limited ladder access. We use a boom lift for those runs instead of stacking ladders on the slope. That adds a day but keeps the crew safe and the fascia straight.
