The Gutter Wasn’t the Problem… It Was the Warning.

SE Portland, OR
Siding + Gutter Emergency… Rot Repair + Structural Reinforcement
Completed May 2025 for T.C.

At first, it was just a gutter sagging on one end.

T.C. figured it could wait. Maybe a bracket came loose. Maybe it was nothing. That’s how it always starts—something small… something easy to ignore.

But gutters don’t just pull away without a reason.

And what we found behind that gutter wasn’t minor.
It was structural.
It was hidden.
It was spreading.

Rot had worked its way into the siding, the framing, and the soffit. Water had been soaking through tiny seams for months—maybe years. Out of sight, out of mind… until the wood gave way.

“I felt sick when I saw the photos… I had no idea it was this bad.” — T.C., SE Portland

We didn’t just cover it up.

1) Rebuilt the framing under the eaves
2) Replaced rotten siding with weather-tight panels
3) Reinforced the gutter line for long-term load bearing
4) Caulked and sealed all vulnerable transitions

No lectures. No scare tactics. Just the facts, with clear photos and an honest plan.

“Mike’s crew didn’t try to sell me anything extra. They showed me what was failing… and fixed what mattered. I trust them now.” — T.C.

Mike’s Take:
“Most folks don’t notice these signs until it’s too late. But a gutter pulling loose? That’s your roof trying to warn you.”
