Are Your Gutters Sending Water Where It Doesn't Belong?
Gutter problems can put more than your roofline at risk.
Your gutters are responsible for collecting rainwater and moving it safely away from your home. When gutters begin leaking, sagging, overflowing, or draining improperly, that water can reach areas that were never designed to handle it.
You may be noticing:
- Water spilling over the gutters during heavy rain
- Gutters that sag, pull away, or appear uneven
- Leaks around gutter seams or corners
- Water collecting near your home’s foundation
- Rust, cracks, or visible deterioration
- Staining along the siding or fascia
- Downspouts that clog or cannot keep up with rainfall

What to Expect When You Choose Tomlinson Cannon
A Gutter System Designed Around Your Home
Every roofline and drainage situation is different. We evaluate your existing gutters, water flow, roofline, downspouts, and the conditions around your home before recommending the gutter system that makes sense for the property.
More Than 75 Years of Gutter Experience
Gutters are where Tomlinson Cannon began. Since opening in Iowa City in 1948, we have spent more than 75 years refining our materials, installation methods, and gutter solutions for homes throughout Eastern Iowa.
Heavy-Duty Seamless Gutter Systems
Tomlinson Cannon specializes in seamless gutters designed for long-term performance. Our systems use durable materials and professional installation to create a clean fit while reducing the weak points and leak risks associated with poorly installed gutter systems.
Options for Your Home and Water-Management Needs
Choose from multiple colors, styles, and gutter configurations to complement your home. Standard residential gutters are 5 inches wide, while oversized 6-inch gutters provide greater capacity for homes that need to manage more water during heavy rainfall.
Protection Backed by a Lifetime Guarantee
Tomlinson Cannon stands behind its seamless gutter systems with a lifetime guarantee. The guarantee covers the gutter system against leaks and the finish against chipping, cracking, or peeling, with warranty work treated as a priority.
Our Process: Evaluate, Plan, and Install Your Gutters
Three straightforward steps from your free quote to a professionally installed gutter system.
Tell us what you are noticing, whether your gutters are leaking, overflowing, sagging, pulling away, or simply reaching the point where replacement makes sense. A member of our team will visit the property and assess the situation.
We evaluate the existing system and explain the recommended solution. Depending on your home, that may include standard or oversized seamless gutters, larger downspouts, gutter guards, repairs, or other improvements needed to move water away effectively.
You will have an opportunity to review the plan, ask questions, and understand the proposed work before moving forward.
After you approve the quote, an Operations Manager will contact you to schedule the project. Our experienced crew completes the approved work efficiently and professionally. A standard residential gutter installation can typically be completed in the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about seamless gutters and protecting your home from water.
How do I know if my gutters need to be replaced?
Signs that your gutters may need attention include leaks, rust or cracks, sagging sections, gutters pulling away from the home, recurring overflow, or water collecting around the foundation.
Older gutters that no longer direct water reliably may also be better candidates for replacement than continued repairs. A professional evaluation can help determine the appropriate next step.
What is the difference between standard and oversized gutters?
Tomlinson Cannon's standard residential gutters are 5 inches wide, while oversized gutters are 6 inches wide.
Tomlinson Cannon's standard residential gutters are 5 inches wide, while oversized gutters are 6 inches wide. The larger system can handle nearly twice the volume of water, giving downspouts additional time to drain during heavy rainfall and allowing for larger downspout options. The appropriate size depends on your home and drainage needs.
How long does gutter installation take?
A standard residential gutter installation can typically be completed in one day. The exact schedule may vary depending on the size of the home, the gutter system selected, accessibility, and the overall scope of the project.
What warranty does Tomlinson Cannon provide on gutters?
Tomlinson Cannon backs its seamless gutter systems with a lifetime guarantee. The guarantee states that the system will not leak, the paint will not chip, crack, or peel, and warranty work will receive priority.
Do gutter guards actually work?
Yes, when the right type of guard is selected for the debris around your home and installed correctly. Different trees and debris can require different solutions.
Tomlinson Cannon installs heavy-duty gutter guards designed to keep debris out while allowing water to flow through the system. Some routine maintenance may still be necessary over time.
Does Tomlinson Cannon offer financing?
Yes. Tomlinson Cannon offers financing options for qualifying projects, including monthly-payment plans and promotional financing options. Available terms and approval requirements should be reviewed before proceeding.
