Gutter Returns— 

are where a gutter ends against another section of the roof.

When this connection is not properly protected or installed correctly, water can travel beneath the shingles and damage the roof decking or enter the home.

QUICK ANSWERS

  • Gutter return where a gutter ends against an asphalt shingle roof
  • Gutter return repair with shingles removed and damaged decking exposed
  • New gutter-return flashing folded into the roof valley
  • Waterproof membrane installed over a gutter-return repair
  • Completed gutter-return repair with the gutter and shingles reinstalled

Warning signs: Ceiling stains near a dormer, damaged shingles, wet or rotted decking, or water entering during heavy rain

Typical solution: Remove the surrounding shingles, repair damaged decking, and install properly folded gutter-return flashing and a waterproof membrane

Expected longevity: Life of the surrounding roof when properly installed

Pricing: $600-$1,200 (dependent on roof complexity and decking damage)

Concerned About Your Gutter Returns?

Schedule an evaluation to determine whether missing flashing—or damage to the surrounding shingles and decking—is causing the leak.
