Gutter Replacement
Our professional gutter replacement service addresses damaged or outdated systems with custom-fitted seamless gutters. Using high-quality aluminum materials, we ensure proper water diversion to protect foundations and landscaping. With over 45 years of experience, we guarantee improved functionality and enhanced curb appeal for Denver properties.
Roof Repair
Emergency roof repair services handle storm damage, leaks, and structural issues with rapid response times. Our certified technicians use durable materials to restore roof integrity while preventing interior water damage. We work directly with insurance providers to streamline claim processes for homeowners.
French Drain Installation
Custom French drain systems manage excess water around properties through gravel-lined trenches and perforated pipes. This solution prevents foundation flooding and soil erosion by redirecting runoff. Our installations integrate with existing gutter systems for comprehensive water management.
Gutter Guards
Premium gutter guard systems prevent leaf accumulation while maintaining optimal water flow. Available in multiple materials and colors, these protective covers reduce maintenance needs by up to 80%. Professional installation ensures perfect fit with existing gutter systems.
Storm Damage Repair
Specialized storm damage repair addresses hail dents, wind uplift, and water intrusion issues. We document damage for insurance claims and restore gutters and roofs to original condition. Our team handles all aspects from assessment to final repairs under one contract.

Questions
What signs indicate needing gutter replacement?
Visible cracks, persistent leaks, sagging sections, and rusted components signal replacement needs. Overflow during moderate rain and foundation water pooling also indicate system failure.
How do seamless gutters benefit homeowners?
Seamless construction reduces leak points by 75%. Custom-fitted systems last 20-30 years and require 40% less maintenance compared to traditional segmented gutters.
Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?
Yes, we manage the entire insurance process including documentation, damage assessment, and direct communication with adjusters to ensure full coverage for repairs.
What areas do you service?
We serve Denver Metro including Arvada, Littleton, Thornton, and surrounding Colorado communities within a 30-mile radius of our 80223 service hub.
Can I install gutters myself?
Professional installation ensures proper slope, secure fastening, and correct downspout placement. DIY attempts often result in improper drainage causing foundation damage over time.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Twice yearly maintenance is recommended, though properties near trees may require quarterly cleaning. Our gutter guard systems reduce cleaning frequency by up to 80%.

I am not happy with this Guy ("Ernie")! He was supposed to take care of me but so far has took advantage of me. I ended up paying more than what I signed up for. Please don't tell him your selling your home because he will get you! He raised the price of his bid without asking and got his money from close of my home vs. Waiting for his payment from me. I received money from insurance but was much less than what I paid Ernie. So far he has accepted a discrepancy but has not solved this $ refund issue yet.

Ernie's gutter service was very professional, efficient, and explained what the process would be to get the job done. I like the fact that they pointed out where the drain spout should be placed. Plus they were very friendly!

Upon first meeting with Ernie to schedule our roof replacement, he asked for available dates to complete the job. I let him know of upcoming dates that we were going to be out of town and told him that we would like to hold off on replacing our roof until we were back home. Despite my request, Ernie's crew showed up to drop off materials and complete the roof replacement on the days we were out of town. Instead of being notified by Ernie, i received a message from our neighbors letting us know that roofing materials had been dropped off. We returned from our trip to materials that should

Ernie did a significant project for our rental. He replaced the roof on the home and garage as well as repair drywall damage inside the house. He and his team did a great job executing the project in a timely manner with good communication. He handled the communication with the insurance company so I barely had to lift a finger. Really satisfied with the work and the communication.

I reached out to Ernie's Roofing Siding Gutter to get an estimate for siding and gutter work on my mobile home. I was told I would receive a text informing me when he was going to my home site for an evaluation, after not hearing from him in the timeline I was given, I called him and he said that he went and took a look at my home (no text as I was told). His evaluation of my home was that he did not recommend removing the existing siding (he said it would compromise the structure of my home). My current siding is water damaged and rotting and possible mold underlying, his recommendation was

BEWARE! Although Ernie's Gutter and Roofing has a number of good reviews (he only shows those ones on his website), he also has quite a few negative ones. Be sure to read all of these before deciding to hire Ernie. I ended up hiring Ernie without first doing so, which was a huge mistake. Also he has a F rating with the BBB even though his website says he has an A+ rating. Review those complaints as well before considering to hire Ernie. These are the reasons I would never hire him again:
*Work was related to the May, 2017 hail storm. He assured me he was very experienced with working with
