Bartlett Roof Pros provides professional gutters and downspouts in Bartlett, IL for residential and commercial properties across the tri-county northwest suburbs. Gutters are usually the afterthought on a reroof. On the planes that gain insulation they cannot be, because the line they hang from is about to move. That line moves with the roof.
When a deck is built up for above-deck polyiso, three things rise together: the drip edge, the top of the fascia, and the height the gutter has to sit at to catch water off the new edge. Hang the gutter to the old line and every storm sheets straight over the back of it into the soffit. The trough has to follow the edge.
So on those planes we hang gutters last, after the roof is finished and the real edge height exists to measure from. And we re-cut or fur the fascia to meet the new line rather than shimming the gutter down to the old one, because a shimmed gutter pulls its own hangers out within a few freeze cycles. So the gutters go on last. Sizing around here is straightforward. Five-inch K-style handles most of the village.
The long front-to-back planes on the 1990s two-stories, where forty feet of roof drains into one corner, want six-inch trough with three-by-four downspouts, and undersizing that corner is the single most common gutter mistake we correct. We also run the maths on the outlet, not just the trough. Five-inch trough covers most of the village. On ice, we will be blunt because the market here is full of the opposite advice.
A gutter does not cause an ice dam and heat cable does not cure one. Both are downstream of a warm ceiling plane, and money spent on cable is money not spent on the air sealing that would have solved it. Warm air escaping into the attic melts snow at the ridge, the meltwater refreezes at the cold eave, and the ice builds from there. Fix the ceiling plane and the dam never forms.
Heat cable treats a symptom. Materials, briefly: point-oh-three-two aluminum rather than point-oh-two-seven on any run over thirty feet, hidden hangers screwed through into solid sub-fascia at twenty-four inches, and downspouts discharging to an extension that actually leaves the foundation. Guards are a maintenance choice rather than a performance one, and under the oaks on the older streets a fine mesh is worth having while a plastic insert is not. Hangers belong in solid wood.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — R-30 continuous polyisocyanurate above the deck, nail-base insulated roof sheathing panels, 7/16-inch oriented strand board decking, self-adhered ice barrier membrane at the eave, dense-packed cellulose blown to R-49, unvented cathedral assembly with closed-cell foam — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Bartlett and nearby communities including Streamwood, Hanover Park, Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates.

Materials, equipment and how we do gutters and downspouts
The difference between gutters and downspouts that lasts and gutters and downspouts that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with R-30 continuous polyisocyanurate above the deck, nail-base insulated roof sheathing panels, 7/16-inch oriented strand board decking, self-adhered ice barrier membrane at the eave, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Bartlett job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the tri-county northwest suburbs means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Bartlett Chooses Bartlett Roof Pros
- ✓We quote the sheathing question in advance, per sheet and per plane, so no homeowner in this village learns what a roof plane costs on the morning it is opened.
- ✓Every roof gets a written plane count sorted into attic-above and cathedral-above, because those two categories carry insulation obligations that differ by thousands of dollars.
- ✓We will not swap a sheet of decking as a courtesy. That single free panel is what converts an eight-hundred-dollar repair into an envelope project, and we say so up front.
- ✓We do not coat asphalt shingle roofs. It seals moisture into the mat, ends the manufacturer warranty, and costs you the clean tear-off you would otherwise have had.

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
