Steel K-style Gutters??


OK - So I'm a very handy guy.

But I can't find a source in the greater Chicagoland area for a steel gutter?

I went to order a couple pieces and when they realized I wanted a K style gutter... I was given the dropped jaw treatment.

My neighbor had a 3-4' of gutter damaged on the alley side of his garage. (plus the corner piece).. no big deal I thought. ( a truck hit the gutter)


As it turns out.. it is a big deal.. The garage / house /roof were all built very very well, and there is a lot of undamaged gutter, so ripping all down would be the stupid option. It just happens to be from another area where steel was king.

Is there a place I can order this from on line.. It was just galvanized and painted on location.

HELP!

I can't find anybody who will help.

NEXT... can I or has anybody spliced on some aluminum gutter... Seal it all very well.. gasket it from each other etc... It will stop the dielectric corrosion... (it's on the alley side!)

Thanks guys.

Check out http://www.guttersupply.com
I never ordered from them before but they do have K Style galvanized and their prices seem fair.

If you'd like, I can pass on a couple numbers to my suppliers for galv. in Covington and Cincinnati. They may ship or be able to refer you to someone local..

Also try windycity metal for anything custom. I find for custom work they are the cheapest and still deliver a good product. I usually use Chris, that Aaron suggested because I am just down the street from them.
