Glenpool homeowners call us for the same reasons as everyone in the Tulsa area: storm damage, aging roofs and leaks. A lot of those problems involve water that the roof sheds but the gutters do not handle. Here is how your roof and gutters work together, and how we help with both.
Roofing in Glenpool: what’s different
Glenpool (13,691 residents in 2020) lies along US-75 just west of Bixby — about seven miles from our office — on the eastern edge of the Cross Timbers. The city’s Required Residential Permits list includes roof replacement, including shingles only, and the city publishes its own roofing permit application, so every Glenpool replacement we do starts with that permit (Development Services, 918-209-4610). Gutters matter here as much as shingles: the June 17, 2023 wind event brought 70-mph gusts that snapped limbs across town, and the May 21, 2024 storm dropped 1-inch hail east of the city — both the kind of weather that fills and bends gutters. We inspect the roof and the drainage together.
How your roof and gutters work together
Your roof sends water to its edges. Drip edge directs it into the gutters, and the gutters and downspouts carry it away from the fascia, siding and foundation. When gutters overflow, sag or pull away, water ends up where it does damage: behind the fascia, down the siding and around the foundation.
Signs your gutters need attention
01
Overflow in heavy rain
Water spilling over the front of the gutter means a clog, too little slope or gutters that are too small.
02
Sagging or pulling away
Loose hangers let gutters drop away from the fascia, so water runs behind them.
03
Leaking joints
Seams are where sectional gutters usually leak. Seamless gutters have far fewer joints.
04
Peeling paint or rotted fascia
A sign water has been getting behind the gutter for a while.
05
Water pooling at the foundation
Downspouts should carry water well away from the house.
06
Granules in the gutters
A buildup of shingle granules can point to an aging or hail-damaged roof.

If your roof and gutters both need work, planning them together means the roof edge, drip edge and gutters are done once and done right.
The gutters finish the roof system
We install roofing systems, and on a Glenpool home the system does not stop at the shingle line. Valleys gather water from two slopes and send it to one spot on the gutter, which is why our replacements get ice-and-water shield in the valleys and why we check that the gutter below can actually take that flow. Drip edge, fascia and downspout placement are all part of the same inspection, so a new roof is not paired with an edge that still lets water behind the fascia.
Old shingles and gutter sections both come down right beside your flower beds and shrubs. That is what our Catch-All system is for: it shields landscaping and the other vulnerable spots next to the walls during the job.

Frequently asked questions
Should I replace my gutters when I replace my roof?
Not always. If your gutters are in good shape and sized correctly, they can often stay. If they are damaged, sagging or overflowing, replacing them at the same time keeps the roof edge and gutters working together.
Are seamless gutters better?
Seamless gutters are made in continuous lengths, so they have far fewer joints where leaks usually start.
Do gutter guards mean no more cleaning?
Guards cut down on clogs from leaves and debris, but most still need an occasional check.
Can hail damage gutters?
Yes. Dented gutters and downspouts are a common sign that hail hit your home, and they are worth photographing for an insurance claim.
