Gutters Built for the Champlain Valley
Owner Donald “Don” Jerome grew up in the Vergennes and Ferrisburgh area. He has been installing seamless gutters out of nearby Addison since 2004, and he brings more than 30 years of construction experience and over 20 years of gutter-specific work to every job. When a Vergennes homeowner calls, they reach the person who will measure the roofline, run the gutter on-site, and stand behind it.
Addison sits between Vergennes and Middlebury, which puts most jobs in this write-up within about fifteen minutes of the shop. That matters for scheduling an estimate, and it matters more when you need someone back out to look at something.
Where we work in this corner of the county
Towns and Villages We Cover
Vergennes, VT Vermont’s smallest city, and a compact one. The blocks around Main Street hold a lot of nineteenth-century housing stock with original wood fascia and short, steep roof runs that sectional gutter never fitted properly. | Ferrisburgh, VT Spread out, and varied. Farmsteads and open-field properties inland, lake camps and year-round homes toward the shore, each with a different exposure problem to solve. | North Ferrisburgh, VT Wooded lots and a heavier leaf load than the open ground west of Route 7. Guard selection matters more here than it does closer to the lake. |
Panton & Addison, VT Open lakeside farmland with very little to break the wind coming off Champlain. Hanger spacing and downspout anchoring get more attention on these jobs. | Waltham & New Haven, VT Small rural towns immediately south and east of Vergennes, with a mix of older farmhouses and newer builds on larger parcels. | Charlotte & Monkton, VT Just over the line toward Chittenden County. We are up this way regularly, so ask even if you think you are outside the area. |
If your town is not on this list, it is still worth a call. The line between the areas we cover is a matter of drive time, not a map.
What we do here
What We Install Around Vergennes
Gutter formed on your driveway to the exact length of each run, so a wall gets one continuous piece with no joint to fail. .032 gauge aluminum, the heaviest gauge made, on Hangtite hangers rated to 260 lb. 5-inch residential and 6-inch commercial profiles in 16 colors, with copper available. 5-year workmanship guarantee and a 20-year manufacturer warranty.
Runs that sag, seams that weep, gutter pulling away from soft fascia. We find why it happened before quoting the fix, because on older Vergennes houses the gutter is often the symptom and the fascia board is the problem. Rotted fascia repaired as part of the job.
Guard choice depends on what actually lands on your roof. A wooded lot in North Ferrisburgh and an open field in Panton are different problems, and we fit drop-in mesh or cover-style accordingly rather than selling one system everywhere.
6-inch commercial profile for barns, equipment sheds, and businesses around Vergennes and Ferrisburgh. Long unbroken runs are exactly what on-site fabrication is good at. Licensed and insured for commercial work in Vermont.

Local conditions
Lake Wind, Spring Runoff and Old Fascia
Three things come up repeatedly on jobs in this part of Addison County, and they are worth understanding before you buy gutter from anyone.
West-facing properties in Ferrisburgh, Panton and Addison take wind with very little between them and the lake. Wind does not usually tear gutter off a house on its own; it works on whatever was already marginal, which is normally hanger spacing and how the downspout is strapped. Both are cheap to get right on installation day and expensive to fix later.
The Champlain lowlands thaw earlier than the hill towns, and snowmelt arrives at the foundation quickly. Gutter that is technically adequate in July can be overwhelmed in a March thaw, which is the argument for sizing downspouts to the roof area rather than to habit, and for putting the outlet where the water can actually leave.
Vergennes has a lot of old housing stock, and old houses rarely have straight fascia or square corners. Sectional gutter bought by the length cannot follow that. Forming the run on site means the gutter follows the building as it actually is, rather than as a catalogue assumes it should be.

Common questions
Questions We Hear from Vergennes and Ferrisburgh
Yes, and this is home ground. The shop is in Addison, a short drive from both, and owner Don Jerome grew up in the Vergennes and Ferrisburgh area. Call (802) 759-2297 for a free estimate.
It will if it is hung for the exposure. On west-facing properties near the lake we tighten hanger spacing and pay closer attention to how downspouts are strapped to the wall. The material is the same .032 aluminum we use everywhere; what changes is how it is fixed to the house.
No, and it is a good reason to use seamless rather than sectional. The gutter is formed on site to the roofline in front of us, so an out-of-true fascia or an odd corner is something we work to rather than around. If the fascia itself has gone soft, we will tell you before quoting the gutter.
Usually within a few days for this area, because it is close. Call (802) 759-2297 or request an estimate online and Don will get back to you, normally the same day.
