Albuquerque’s Premier Gutter Installation & Replacement Service

If your gutters are sagging, pulling away from your home, or showing signs of water overflow during Albuquerque’s monsoon season, it’s time for new gutters. In our high desert climate at 5,312 feet elevation, gutters face unique challenges including intense UV exposure, seasonal cottonwood fluff, and pine needles from the Sandia foothills. Watch for visible cracks, rust spots, or water damage to your foundation, particularly after summer thunderstorms or winter freezes. Regular inspection is especially important in spring when cottonwood trees shed and during the July-September monsoon season when sudden downpours can overwhelm damaged gutters.

For Albuquerque’s unique climate, aluminum gutters are the most practical choice for new installations, particularly when considering maintenance needs. These gutters effectively handle both the intense UV exposure and seasonal monsoon rains common to the Sandia Mountains area. During spring, when cottonwood fluff fills the air, and throughout monsoon season when debris accumulates, aluminum gutters are easier to maintain and resist corrosion. Copper gutters are another durable option that performs well in our high-altitude desert environment, though they require a larger investment. Both materials are well-suited to manage the local weather patterns from the East Mountains to the West Mesa.

Gutter installations in Albuquerque typically take one day to complete. For homes in areas like the Sandia foothills or those featuring traditional New Mexican architectural styles, installation may require additional time to ensure proper customization. Our locally trained installation professionals carefully adapt the system to handle Albuquerque’s unique weather patterns, from summer monsoons to autumn leaf fall from cottonwoods.

LeafFilter’s gutter protection system uses Sherwin Williams’ Plastilure finish to match your existing gutters or provide a complementary color for your Albuquerque home. This is particularly important for homes in the Albuquerque area, where intense desert sun exposure and seasonal monsoon rains can affect both the appearance and durability of gutter systems.

The size of gutters needed for your Albuquerque home depends on your roof area and local weather patterns. In Albuquerque’s unique climate, 5-inch K-style gutters work well for most homes, particularly in valley areas. However, 6-inch gutters are often recommended for larger homes or properties in foothill neighborhoods that face heavier water flow during the July-September monsoon season. Homes near the Sandia Mountains may benefit from larger gutters to handle the intense summer storms and occasional flash floods that characterize New Mexico’s dramatic weather.

New gutters in Albuquerque require regular maintenance, typically 2-3 times per year, due to our unique desert climate. During monsoon season (July-September), gutters need extra attention as sudden heavy rains can wash in debris from dust storms and local vegetation. Common maintenance challenges include clearing tumbleweeds, desert plants, and buildup from the region’s frequent dust storms. Homes near the Bosque or in areas with piñon pines and Russian olive trees may need more frequent cleaning. Professional gutter cleaning in Albuquerque typically ranges from $100-$200, though costs vary based on home size and gutter accessibility. Regular maintenance helps protect homes from water damage during both our intense summer storms and winter freeze-thaw cycles.

Yes, whether you have a traditional adobe home in Old Town or a modern build in the Heights, LeafFilter’s gutter systems can be customized for any roof type in Albuquerque. Our local professionals understand the unique challenges of New Mexico’s climate, from summer monsoons to winter storms, and can adapt gutter systems to any roof pitch or design to ensure proper water drainage.

Gutters protect your home by channeling rainwater away from your foundation, walls, and landscaping. In Albuquerque’s high-desert climate, where annual rainfall averages 8-9 inches and intense monsoon storms occur from July through September, properly functioning gutters are essential. They prevent foundation damage by directing sudden downpours away from your home, particularly important in areas near the Sandia foothills where water runoff can be significant. Gutters also protect xeriscaping investments and help prevent soil erosion around your property, especially during the dramatic temperature swings and weather patterns common to the Rio Grande Valley.

Our gutter installations in Albuquerque come with a lifetime transferable warranty. This provides protection throughout Albuquerque’s diverse weather conditions, from intense summer heat to monsoon rains. The warranty covers both materials and workmanship for as long as you own your home.

Our locally trained installation professionals ensure your new gutters are properly sized and installed to manage both the summer monsoon downpours and winter precipitation.
