Professional Gutter Services in Clovis, New Mexico

Clovis presents one of New Mexico's most challenging gutter environments. Unlike Albuquerque's desert sun or Carlsbad's heat, Clovis faces the full fury of High Plains weather: relentless wind, severe storms, hail, and extreme temperature cycling.

Persistent High Winds

Clovis sits on flat, unobstructed High Plains terrain. Sustained winds of 20-30 mph are routine, with spring gusts frequently exceeding 50 mph. This constant force pulls at inadequately secured gutters, eventually tearing them from fascia boards or causing mounting failures.

We address this with commercial-grade hidden hangers spaced every 16-18 inches (vs. standard 24 inches) and secured directly to structural members rather than just fascia trim. This creates a mounting system that withstands decades of wind stress.

Severe Hail Events

Eastern New Mexico experiences frequent severe thunderstorms, many producing significant hail. Quarter to golf ball-sized hail (1-2 inches) is common during spring and early summer. This impacts gutters directly, denting or cracking inferior materials.

Our heavy-gauge aluminum (.032 inch minimum) resists denting far better than standard .027 or thinner material. While no gutter is truly "hail-proof," quality materials maintain structural integrity and function even after impact events that would destroy lesser systems.

Extreme Temperature Cycling

Clovis winters see lows in the single digits while summers reach 100°F+—over 90 degrees annual variation. Daily swings of 30-40°F are common. This constant expansion and contraction stresses every connection point.

We use commercial-grade flexible sealants rated for -40°F to 180°F and install expansion joints on runs exceeding 40 feet. These accommodate thermal movement without cracking or separating—essential for longevity in High Plains conditions.
