Boral Gutter Replacement: The Jacksonville Owner’s Guide
Boral gutter replacement in Jacksonville typically runs $8 to $14 per linear foot installed for standard 5-inch K-style aluminum or steel profiles, with most single-family homes landing between $1,200 and $2,800 total depending on footage, story height, and fascia condition. We stock Boral-compatible gutter components on our trucks and can usually complete a full gutter replacement on a standard ranch or two-story home in one day. Most Jacksonville homeowners discover the problem the hard way: a gutter pulling away from the fascia after a hard afternoon thunderstorm, water pouring over the edge instead of through the downspout, or a rusted section that’s been quietly leaking against the soffit for months.
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already spotted the telltale signs. Maybe the gutter is sagging in the middle, or you noticed water staining on the siding below the roofline. Either way, you want to know what it costs, whether it can be fixed, and who in Jacksonville will actually show up and do the work. That’s what this page answers.
Which Boral Models This Applies To
Boral’s gutter and trim lines are most commonly paired with their concrete and steel roofing products, particularly the Boral Steel roof panels and their tile profiles that are popular in Jacksonville’s coastal and historic districts. The gutter profiles themselves are typically standard 5-inch or 6-inch K-style configurations in steel, aluminum, or copper-look finishes designed to match Boral’s roofing color palette. What matters more than the model name is the profile depth and the hanger type: Boral’s recommended installations use hidden hangers spaced at 24 inches on center, which is a tighter spec than the 32- to 36-inch spacing you’ll see on builder-grade gutters. That tighter spacing matters in Jacksonville, where a summer downpour can dump two inches of rain in an hour and a full gutter weighs hundreds of pounds.
To identify what you have, look for a stamped label inside the gutter end cap or on the original invoice from your roofer. If you don’t have either, measure the width across the top opening: 5-inch gutters are the Jacksonville standard for residential, while 6-inch gutters are common on Boral tile roofs because the tile overhang delivers more water per linear foot. We’re an independent Jacksonville roofing contractor, not a Boral dealer, which means we can source OEM-spec Boral gutters when you want a factory match, or recommend an equivalent 24-gauge steel or .027-gauge aluminum aftermarket profile that matches the original dimensions and color. The honest difference is lead time and cost: OEM Boral components can take two to three weeks to arrive, while aftermarket equivalents in the same gauge and profile are typically on our truck the same week.

Signs Your Boral Gutter Replacement Is Failing
- Water spilling over the front lip during normal rain. This usually means the gutter is pitched wrong, the downspout is clogged, or the hangers have pulled loose from the fascia. If it happens in multiple spots along the same run, the gutter has lost its slope and needs to be rehung or replaced.
- Sagging or visible gaps between the gutter and fascia board. In Jacksonville’s humidity, fascia boards rot behind the gutter, and the screws that hold the hangers lose their bite. Once the fascia softens, the gutter pulls away, and no amount of caulk will fix it. The repair requires replacing the rotted fascia section and rehanging the gutter on solid wood.
- Rust streaks, pinholes, or actual water dripping from the bottom of the gutter. Steel gutters near the coast deal with salt air on top of the normal Florida rain. Once pinholes start, patching buys you months, not years. The metal is compromised, and the only real fix is replacing the affected run.
- Downspouts separating at the elbows or pulling away from the wall. This is often a sign that the downspout was undersized for the roof area, or that debris backed up and the weight of standing water pulled the joints apart. Boral’s spec calls for 2×3-inch downspouts minimum, and larger on tile roofs.
- Staining or paint bubbling on the fascia, soffit, or siding directly below the gutter line. Water is getting behind the gutter or overflowing against the house. Left alone in Jacksonville’s climate, this turns into wood rot and mold inside the wall cavity, which is a much more expensive repair than the gutter itself.

All gutter replacement work is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we come back and make it right, in writing, at no charge for a full year.
What drives the price up in Jacksonville? Second-story work on tile roofs, fascia that’s rotted from years of clogged gutters, and long runs that need a second downspout added to handle the volume. What drives it down? A single-story ranch with clean fascia and standard 5-inch runs.
DIY or Call Us?
Gutter replacement isn’t the most dangerous job on a house, but it’s not a weekend project for most people either. What you can safely do: clean out the gutters yourself twice a year, check that downspouts are still connected after storms, and watch for water behavior during a normal rain. That tells you where the problem is. What you shouldn’t do: attempt to rehang a sagging gutter on a second story from a ladder, or try to patch rusted steel when the fascia behind it is already soft. Ladder work near the roofline accounts for a significant share of homeowner injuries every year, and in Jacksonville’s heat, you’re also dealing with metal that’s too hot to touch for half the afternoon. Travis Oakley has been running crews across Jacksonville for years, from flat membrane work near Regency Square to full tear-offs in Mandarin, and the pattern is consistent: homeowners who try to save money on gutter work usually end up paying more to fix the water damage behind the wall. If you’re not comfortable on a ladder with tools in both hands, call us at (904) 719-6346. We’ll inspect the full run, tell you what actually needs replacing and what doesn’t, and hand you a written price before any work starts. If it’s not right, we’re not done.
FAQs
Factory-finished steel gutters in Jacksonville typically last 15 to 20 years, while aluminum gutters run 20 to 30 years, assuming they’re kept clean and the hangers stay tight. The bigger variable in this climate is the fascia behind them: if the gutter ever overflowed long enough to rot the wood, the gutter’s lifespan is cut short by the failure of what it’s attached to. We also stock and service gutter components alongside roofing systems from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed, so if the gutter failure is tied to a roof edge issue, we handle both. Call (904) 719-6346 for an inspection and written estimate.
A single leaking seam or a loose downspout can usually be repaired for under $200. But if the gutter is pulling away from the fascia, rusted through in multiple spots, or pitched wrong, patching it buys you a season at best and usually costs more in the long run than replacing the run now. We’ll tell you straight which situation you have, and we’ll put the repair price and the replacement price side by side on paper. Call (904) 719-6346 to schedule an inspection.
Most single-family homes in Jacksonville take one day to gut and rehang, including haul-away. Two-story homes with tile roofs and complex corners can run into a second day, and rotted fascia replacement adds time. We show up inside the promised window, background-checked and in uniform, and we don’t leave until the water test runs clean.
We stock 5-inch and 6-inch seamless aluminum coils in the most common Jacksonville colors, plus hangers, downspouts, elbows, and sealant, so a standard replacement usually happens same-trip. OEM Boral steel gutters in custom colors are special-order and run two to three weeks. We’ll give you both options and the price difference before you decide. Call (904) 719-6346 for a free estimate.
