I had a horrible experience with the Fiberglass Gutter Company. Last November, my entire house including all of the downspouts were supposed to be done for $16,000. I paid them $8000 for a deposit. When they left the job after 1 week, the work was shoddy, 3 sections of gutter were not completed and 5 of the old downspouts were still left including the 2 on either side of the front door. They cut corners on the finish work and actual paint on the board around the gutter was left peeling and painted over. I guess they figured I wouldn't see it because it was up high. I contacted them to communicate that the job was not finished and I was not happy with it. They said the boss was on vacation and would contact me when he got back. I still have not heard from them and it is now April. Don't hire them. VERY disappointing, not skilled labor and they charge top dollar.

I recommend The Fiberglass Gutter Company to anyone looking for new gutters. We have an older house and we didn’t want to replace wooden gutters with wood. Fiberglass gutters are maintenance free, none of the oiling that the wood gutters should have to be properly maintained. The Historic Society in Arlington approves these fiberglass gutters in place of wood! The team had to come out to our house and measure and shape an arch for one of our corners, turned out perfect.
The employees at The Fiberglass Gutter Company are very friendly and professional. They dealt with less than ideal conditions with all the bumblebee nests they encountered while pulling off our old gutters. They arrived as scheduled, cleaned up after themselves and worked expected hours. We knew in advance there may be a change order needed do to the poor conditions of some areas of our exterior. The change order ended up being less than expected, I was very pleased.
A+++ Would use them again. Great product, excellent service and good people.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Fiberglass Gutter Company
How is the fiberglass gutter manufactured?
Our fiberglass gutters are handcrafted in Pembroke, Massachusetts. We use an open mold process, starting with a wood gutter mold to replicate its authentic grain and texture. The manufacturing begins with applying gelcoat, followed by multiple layers of fiberglass cloth, and finishes with another gelcoat layer. This meticulous process can take up to 8 hours per gutter, depending on its profile.
What lengths can I get fiberglass gutter and is it seamless?
We produce fiberglass gutters in 40-foot lengths. For projects requiring longer spans, we can seamlessly join sections on-site, creating the appearance of a continuous gutter. We offer our gutters for purchase in both 20-foot and 40-foot lengths to accommodate various project needs.
