Aluminum Gutters Built to Disappear Into the Design of Midwest Homes

Aluminum gutters aren’t just practical — when done right, they’re almost invisible. Seamless, color-matched, and precisely installed, they quietly direct water where it belongs without distracting from your home’s architecture.

At Custom Installations, aluminum is our go-to gutter material for most homes. It’s durable, cost-effective, and ideal for custom fabrication — especially when paired with our in-house metalwork and exterior detailing.

We Fabricate & Install Aluminum Gutters Every Week — Not Just After Storms

Because we handle roofing and siding as well, we know how to design gutter systems that work with the entire building envelope — not against it. Our teams know how to flash, pitch, and fasten gutters the right way for long-term performance.

Whether you’re adding gutters to new construction or replacing aging systems, we install aluminum gutters that look clean and drain efficiently — rain or shine.

Poorly Installed Gutters Can Create Bigger Problems Than No Gutters at All

Gutters seem simple — but if they’re not installed correctly, they can cause water damage, rot, ice damming, and even foundation issues. We see it all the time.

Why Choose Us for Your Aluminum Gutter Project

We approach gutters with the same care we bring to roofing and siding — because they’re all connected. Our attention to flashing, pitch, and color-matching ensures the final result not only works — it disappears into the architecture.

Why Aluminum Gutters Are the First Choice for Most Midwest Homes

Tough Enough for Midwest Storms — Without the Weight of Steel

Aluminum handles rain, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles without rusting or bending out of shape. It’s strong enough to last, light enough to install on most home types.

Low-Maintenance & Rust-Free for Life

Unlike steel or sectional gutters, seamless aluminum won’t rust or require constant upkeep. Add gutter guards, and your maintenance needs drop even further.

John Robinson & crew was a pleasure to work with: very professional, respectful & competent.

Denali

Had Custom installations redo the entire exterior,(hardie board) roof, and gutters of our home and the results were great! Very professional and organized. Whenever I had a concern or question, my point of contact and project lead, John was an invaluable resource and took care of any issues or questions immediately. I was very impressed with his knowledge and ability to communicate my concerns and wants to whatever crew was working for the entirety of the project. Would definitely recommend and use custom installations on future projects.

Ryan Chitwood

I was in need of a metal crew that could do very high end copper work and was recommended this company by a major national player that owns a company in Denver, Co. The people at Custom Installations were amazing from start to finish, literally. They traveled here during the week for work and were so careful and respectful. Their copper/metal work is as good as I have ever seen. They just completed the most beautiful roof we have ever done for a homeowner. Their communication was fluid and consistent and we had zero issues. For a job with a ticket that size, we needed this to be a smooth process and Custom Installations Inc knocked it out of the park for us. Thank you guys!

Custom Installation was great to work with through this whole process. From the beginning, Ted Aydt Was very professional and thorough with the bid and immensely helpful with the insurance issues. On the job, the whole crew was great and so respectful. John Robinson was The project manager and always kept us up-to-date as did the office staff. I would definitely recommend them for your roofing job.

Will Lynn

Our old siding and part of our garage where damaged due to a storm which resulted in our house needing to be completely re-sided and part of the garage roof replaced. We chose Custom Installation not only for the quality of their work but their skilled teams knowledge of insurance claims. Bruce truly made this entire process as smooth as possible. We could lot be happier with how our house turned out.

Jacob Rosenfeld

We just hired Custom Installations to re-side & re-roof my home. We chose James Hardie, Board & Baton siding. The Custom Installations team was awesome, from my sales contact, Brad Hironimus, to the installers. Despite the house being originally constructed in the 1960's, it now looks brand new and I expect will further stand the test of time. The foreman assigned to our job, John Robinson, was exceptional. He was extremely responsive and always arrived on site with a great attitude. Whenever I had questions or concerns, he was easy to reach and successfully drove the team into delivering a fantastic result. I would definitely refer the Custom Installations team to anyone looking to improve their home.

We recently had a new asphalt roof installed on our residence here in Wisconsin. Mr. Pohlman and his crew were professional, timely, and exacting in the quality of their work. The project started and ended on time with no issues. Our property was left in the same condition as when they started. Mr. Pohlman was always available by email and personal cell phone for any questions, and personally on site. Overall, an excellent experience all the way around. Very rare these days.

What Homeowners Ask Us Most

How long do aluminum gutters typically last?

With proper installation and minimal maintenance, seamless aluminum gutters can last 20–30 years — even in harsh Midwest weather.

No. One of the biggest advantages of aluminum is that it doesn’t rust, unlike steel. That makes it ideal for long-term performance with little upkeep.

Yes. We offer a wide range of baked-on finish colors to match or complement your exterior — and we custom-fabricate every system on-site for a clean, seamless look.

Seamless gutters are made from a single continuous piece, reducing the chances of leaks. Sectional gutters have multiple joints, which can become weak points over time.

We do. Gutter guards help reduce clogs from leaves and debris, minimizing maintenance and extending your gutter system’s life.
