Gutter Service in Moultonborough, NH

Moultonborough is a town of large lake houses on a long shoreline, and it reaches up into the Ossipee Mountains. The thread running through the work is scale: more roof, more downspouts, more distance between the road and the house.

Large seasonal homes and long runs

The median Moultonborough home was built in 1986, and 93% are owner-occupied (ACS 2020-24). Large homes mean long eaves and many corners. On a big roof each downspout serves a lot of surface, so one blocked outlet can overload a whole side of the house.

A seasonal home adds another problem: nobody is watching in the off months. We would rather clean and check before you close than learn about a failed run in April. Seamless gutters cut to length cut down the seams on those long eaves.

On a roof this size the number of downspouts and corners decides the price more than the footage does. We walk each run, note where valleys feed one outlet and put what we find in a written price. Permits are handled town by town, so ask the Moultonborough town office whether a replacement needs one.

From the shoreline up the mountain

Castle in the Clouds, the Lucknow estate built in 1913 and 1914 by shoe manufacturer Thomas Plant, sits in the Ossipee Mountains above the lake. Elevation and exposure change how snow loads a roof and how water leaves a lot. A house on a slope needs downspouts that discharge well clear of the foundation, since a hillside will deliver that water straight to the wall.

• Winter gutter protection for roofs that load deeply and shed in slabs

The most shoreline in the state

Moultonborough covers about 75 square miles, and 15.4 of them are water (Census figures). Wikipedia reports about 89 linear miles of shoreline, the most of any New Hampshire town. The town center sits about a mile north of the head of Moultonborough Bay, where NH 25 meets NH 109, and the town's commercial zoning follows NH 25.

Seasonal homes were about 60.5% of local housing in 2010, per the town master plan, citing Census figures. On that much shoreline, long roofs, many downspouts and empty houses are the normal case, so we plan every visit around when the house is open and who can let us in.

A long trip, said plainly

This is about 72 miles from Hampstead, and we do not treat it as a casual stop. Visits are booked well ahead and may be combined with jobs in Tuftonboro, Meredith or Wolfeboro. Plan for lead time, especially before the fall closing. You get a written price once we have seen the roof.

Moultonborough is on the lake side of Carroll County, the part we reach.
