Shaw Roofing - we treat your home like our own!

From custom seamless installations to critical cleaning and structural repairs, we provide the complete gutter, soffit, and fascia solutions you need to keep your basement dry and your foundation secure.

The First Line of Defense Against Water Damage

When homeowners think about exterior protection, the roof often gets all the glory, but gutters are the unsung heroes of home health. In our area, we face everything from torrential summer thunderstorms to heavy winter snow melt, and a functioning gutter system is what stands between your home and serious water damage. At Mikey Shaw Roofing, we view gutters as a critical component of your property’s infrastructure. Based in Newtown Square and serving Broomall, West Chester, Springfield, and surrounding communities, we bring over 15 years of construction expertise to every gutter project we undertake.

Water is relentless. If it isn't properly channeled away from your home, it will find a way in—eroding landscaping, cracking foundations, and flooding basements. That is why we offer a complete suite of gutter services designed to manage water flow efficiently and cleanly.

Whether you need a new seamless system fabricated on-site, a repair to a detached downspout, or a seasonal cleaning to prevent clogs, our family-owned team handles it with precision and care.

We keep essential protection accessible with fair, transparent pricing and flexible financing options. As a token of appreciation to our community, we offer a 10% discount to veterans, police officers, and seniors. When you work with us, you are hiring a neighbor who is fully licensed, insured, and committed to treating your home with the same respect as our own.

Why Professional Gutter Care Matters

• Foundation Integrity: Prevents hydrostatic pressure from building up and cracking basement walls.
  
• Landscape Preservation: Stops trenching where runoff washes away soil and mulch.
  
• Siding Protection: Keeps dirty roof water from splashing back and staining or rotting exterior cladding.
  
• Pest Control: Eliminates standing water where mosquitoes breed and damp wood where termites thrive.
  
• Ice Dam Prevention: Supports proper winter flow to reduce dangerous ice buildup at the roof’s edge.

Seamless Engineering for Superior Performance

Sectional gutters are pieced together every ten feet, and those seams are where leaks often begin and debris tends to get caught. At Mikey Shaw Roofing, we specialize in seamless gutter installations. We bring our fabrication machine directly to your home, custom-cutting aluminum, steel, or copper troughs to the exact length of your roofline. The result is a sleek, continuous channel that reduces leak risk and improves structural strength.

A great material is only as good as the installation. The pitch, or slope, of the gutter is critical. Too flat and the water sits stagnant; too steep and it looks awkward while the water rushes too fast. Backed by over 15 years of hands-on experience, our team calculates the optimal pitch for consistent, optimal flow. We use heavy-duty, hidden hangers spaced closely together to secure gutters to the fascia, helping them withstand heavy snow and ice without sagging or pulling away.

We also handle gutter repair. We realign gutters that have shifted, reseal corners that have started to drip, and replace downspouts that have been crushed or disconnected. We act fast—often available within 24 to 48 hours—to address issues before the next storm hits.

Our Installation & Repair Standards

• Custom Fabrication: Gutters cut on-site to fit your home’s exact dimensions.
• Heavy-Duty Hangers: Strong brackets that are screwed in, not nailed, for lasting hold.
• Material Variety: Choose from standard aluminum, durable steel, or elegant copper.
• Color Matching: A wide selection of colors to blend with siding and trim.
• Strategic Downspouts: Placement that directs water away from walkways and foundations.

Safeguard Your Home Without Climbing the Ladder

Cleaning gutters is one of the most dreaded—and dangerous—chores for a homeowner. Yet neglecting it can lead to serious consequences. When gutters clog with leaves, twigs, and roofing granules, they overflow during storms, causing water to cascade down the siding and pool around the foundation. In winter, trapped debris can freeze into solid blocks of ice, tearing gutters off the house and forcing water under shingles, which can lead to interior leaks.

Mikey Shaw Roofing takes this burden off your shoulders. Our professional cleaning service is thorough and safe. We manually remove debris, flush downspouts to clear hidden clogs, and bag waste to keep your yard clean. While we’re there, we perform a courtesy inspection for loose hangers or minor damage so you can address small issues before they become expensive repairs.

We generally recommend cleaning gutters at least twice a year: once in late spring to clear helicopter seeds and blossoms, and again in late autumn after leaves have fallen. If your property is surrounded by mature trees—especially pines or oaks—a quarterly schedule may be necessary for consistent protection.

The Risks of Clogged Gutters

• Roof Rot: Trapped moisture can wick into the roof decking, causing wood rot.
  
• Basement Flooding:  Overflowing water dumps next to the foundation, increasing the risk of seepage.
  
• Insect Infestation: Damp debris attracts ants, mosquitoes, and wasps.
  
• Fascia Damage: The weight of wet debris can pull fascia boards away from rafters.
  
• Mold Growth: Persistent moisture on the siding can encourage mold growth.

Reduce Maintenance with High-Flow Gutter Guards

If you are tired of scheduling cleanings or worrying about clogs every time it storms, gutter guards are a smart investment. Not all gutter protection systems are created equal. Some big-box options can trap debris on top or collapse under snow loads. At Mikey Shaw Roofing, we install high-performance gutter guards designed for heavy leaf fall while allowing maximum water volume to pass through.

We assess your environment—the types of trees, roof pitch, and your budget—to recommend the best solution. Our guards act as a filter: leaves, pine needles, and twigs sit on top, dry out, and blow away, while rainwater is pulled through mesh or perforations into the trough below. This helps extend the lifespan of your system by preventing the wet sludge that causes rust and sagging.

While no system is 100% maintenance-free forever, quality guards dramatically reduce cleaning frequency and help ensure your system performs even when you aren’t home to check it.

Benefits of Professional Gutter Guards

• Clog Prevention: Blocks leaves, pine needles, and nests from entering the system.
• Improved Flow: Helps water drain quickly during heavy downpours.
• Fire Protection: Prevents the buildup of dry, flammable debris in gutters.
• Pest Deterrent: Discourages birds and squirrels from nesting.
• Extended Lifespan: Reduces corrosion caused by rotting organic matter.

Complete Roofline Protection: Soffit and Fascia

The roofline includes more than shingles and gutters. The soffit (the underside of the roof overhang) and the fascia (the vertical board to which the gutters are attached) play crucial roles in maintaining structural integrity and energy efficiency. These areas are often overlooked until rot sets in. Mikey Shaw Roofing repairs and replaces soffit and fascia to keep the entire roof edge sealed and secure.

Fascia boards take constant exposure. When gutters leak or overflow, fascia absorbs that water and can rot. As fascia deteriorates, gutters lose their anchor point and can pull away or fall. We replace damaged wood with durable materials and often wrap boards in maintenance-free aluminum or vinyl to prevent future rot and eliminate the need for painting.

Soffits are equally important because they house intake vents for the attic. Proper ventilation regulates temperature and moisture. Damaged or blocked soffits can lead to an overheated attic in summer and moisture buildup in winter. We install vented soffit systems that promote airflow while keeping critters like raccoons and squirrels out.

Why Soffit and Fascia Maintenance Is Vital

• Structural Support: Strong fascia provides a solid anchor for your gutter system.
• Attic Ventilation: Vented soffits allow cool air in and help push hot air out roof vents.
• Pest Exclusion: Properly sealed soffits help prevent animals from nesting in eaves.
• Moisture Control: Helps block wind-driven rain from entering the roof overhang.
• Curb Appeal: Clean soffit and fascia wrapping gives your home a finished look.
