Gutter Installation by Wolf Roofing
A quality roof needs quality gutters. We install seamless gutters and downspouts to protect your foundation, siding, landscaping, and basement from water damage for homeowners in West Des Moines, Ankeny, Johnston, Waukee, Urbandale, and across Central Iowa.
What to Know About Your Gutters
Gutters are a smaller project than a roof, but they do a big job. Here’s what goes into getting them right.
Why Gutters Matter as Much as Your Roof
A new roof sheds water, and gutters move it away from the parts of your home that can’t handle it. Properly sized, properly sloped gutters protect your foundation, siding, and landscaping. It’s a smaller project than a roof replacement, but skipping it usually costs more in repairs than the gutters would have cost.
Installed by the Same Roofing Team
When the same crew handles your roof and your gutters, there’s no back-and-forth between contractors and no guessing how your gutter line ties into your drip edge and fascia. It’s one estimate, one crew, and one company standing behind the whole job. If a storm damaged both, our storm damage team can take care of it.
Gutter Guards and Long-Term Protection
Clogged gutters send water behind fascia boards, down siding, and toward your foundation. We can pair your new system with leaf and debris protection so you’re not up on a ladder every fall, and walk through the guard options that fit the trees around your property.
Choosing the Right Gutter Size
Standard 5-inch K-style gutters handle most Central Iowa roofs. Larger roofs, steep pitches, or homes with heavy runoff often do better with 6-inch gutters. We measure your roofline and form seamless gutters on-site, so every run fits your home with no seams to leak or pull apart.

Gutter Installation FAQs
Should I replace my gutters when I replace my roof?
It’s often a good time to. Gutters tie into your drip edge and fascia, so replacing them with your roof means everything fits and drains the way it should, with one crew handling the whole job. During your estimate, we’ll check your current gutters and let you know if they still have life left.
What size gutters does my home need?
Standard 5-inch K-style gutters handle most Central Iowa homes. Larger roofs, steep pitches, or homes with heavy runoff often need 6-inch gutters. We measure your roofline and recommend the right size during your free estimate.
Are gutter guards worth it?
If your home has trees nearby, gutter guards can cut down on clogs and the time you spend cleaning gutters. We’ll walk through the options that make sense for your property during your estimate.
What are seamless gutters?
Seamless gutters are formed on-site from one continuous piece cut to the exact length of your roofline. With no seams along the run, there are fewer places for leaks to start or for sections to pull apart over time.
Can you add gutters to a home that doesn’t have them?
Yes. We install new gutter systems on homes that have never had them, and we replace old, sagging, or damaged systems too.
