Gutter & Leaf Protection Services in Oconomowoc & Waukesha County, WI
Seamless Gutters, Gutter Guards, Repair, and Cleaning | Serving Waukesha County Since 1996
A Local Gutter & Leaf Protection Team You Can Trust
Gutters are the part of your home's exterior most homeowners think about least — until they stop working. A properly installed and maintained gutter system protects your foundation, your fascia, your landscaping, and your basement from the consequences of unmanaged roof runoff. When gutters fail, water that should be carried 5 feet from your foundation pools at your slab, seeps into your basement, and rots the fascia boards behind the gutter. Windlickers Roofing & Exteriors provides complete gutter services — installation, guards, repair, and cleaning — for homeowners throughout Waukesha County.
Our Gutter Services
We do not cut corners on components you will not see — because those are the components that determine whether your roof performs for 25 years or 15.
Seamless Gutter Installation
Custom-cut seamless aluminum gutters in 5-inch and 6-inch profiles, sized for your specific roof drainage area. No joints along the run means fewer leak points. 20+ color options to match your trim.
Gutter Guard / Leaf Protection
Micro-mesh and reverse-curve gutter guard systems that keep Wisconsin's leaves, pine needles, and debris out while allowing water to flow freely. Eliminates most routine gutter cleaning.
Gutter Repair
Rehanging sections that have pulled away from the fascia, resealing joints, patching holes, and fixing downspouts that have separated or been knocked out of position.
Gutter Cleaning
Professional flush and inspection service. We clear debris from the full run, flush the system, verify downspout flow, and report on any conditions that need attention.
Downspout Installation and Extension
Properly positioned downspouts are critical to carrying water away from the foundation. We install, reposition, and add extensions to ensure water exits at least 4-6 feet from your home's base.
Why Gutters Matter More in Wisconsin
Not all shingles are equally suited to Wisconsin's climate. Here is what we install and why.
Spring Snowmelt
Wisconsin's spring snowmelt creates a significant volume of water in a short period. If your gutters are clogged from fall debris, that volume goes straight to your foundation — often when the ground is still frozen and cannot absorb it. The result is water pooling at the slab and basement seepage. A fall gutter cleaning before freeze is one of the most effective preventive maintenance tasks a Wisconsin homeowner can do.
Ice Dam Overflow
During ice dam formation, water backing up under roof shingles often also overflows the gutter system — adding to the ice buildup and contributing to fascia damage as ice forms in and under the gutter. Properly secured gutters with appropriate pitch are more resistant to ice dam damage than improperly installed systems.
Waukesha County Tree Coverage
Much of Waukesha County's residential landscape includes mature oak, maple, and pine trees that shed significantly in fall. Without gutter guards, these gutters fill within weeks of the first major leaf fall — well before the final drop of the season. Gutter guards eliminate most of this maintenance cycle for homeowners with tree coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do new gutters cost in Oconomowoc, WI?
Most seamless gutter installations for standard Waukesha County homes range from $800 to $2,500 depending on the linear footage, profile size, and whether downspout extensions or gutter guards are included. We provide free written estimates after measuring your roofline.
How often should gutters be cleaned in Wisconsin?
We recommend cleaning at minimum twice per year in Waukesha County — once in spring after seed and pollen season, and once in late fall after leaf drop. Homes with significant tree coverage over the roof may need quarterly cleaning. Gutter guards significantly reduce cleaning frequency.
What is the difference between sectional and seamless gutters?
Sectional gutters are assembled from pre-cut sections joined with connectors — each connector is a potential leak point. Seamless gutters are cut to the exact length of your roofline from a single piece of aluminum, with no joints along the run. We install seamless gutters exclusively.
Do gutter guards work in Wisconsin?
Quality micro-mesh gutter guard systems perform well in Wisconsin's conditions — keeping leaves, pine needles, and maple seeds out while allowing water to flow through. Lower-quality foam or screen inserts are less effective and can create additional debris-trapping problems. We discuss guard options based on your specific tree coverage during your estimate.
My gutters are pulling away from the house — do I need to replace them?
Not necessarily. Gutters pulling away from the fascia usually indicate that the hangers have failed, which is often a straightforward repair. However, if the fascia boards behind the gutters are rotting, the fascia needs to be addressed before rehinging. We assess the full situation during a free estimate.
