Aurora sits on the hills above the Ohio River, and every lot in town drains toward something. When a gutter system quits, that water lands next to the house and works its way toward the foundation, turning a cheap fix into costly repairs. Gutter Magician has 22 years of experience forming seamless aluminum gutters, and our crews run the Aurora area, Lawrenceburg, Greendale, Hidden Valley, and surrounding areas regularly. Doug’s a local family owner, not an out-of-town service provider.
Grade is the problem here. Water spilling over a clogged gutter has nowhere to go but downhill, and on a sloped lot it moves toward the lowest wall. A few seasons of that gives you soil erosion in the beds, water infiltration through the block, and foundation cracks that keep spreading. Most homeowners call us about the basement first. The gutters turn out to be the source.
Tree cover adds to it. Oaks and maples in the older neighborhoods can fill a trough in one October. Pines drop needles year-round that slide past cheap screens and pack the outlet solid. That debris buildup stops the water flow, puts weight on the hangers, and freezes into an ice block in January that pulls the run off the fascia.
Every run is formed on-site from .032 grade aluminum coil, heavier than the .027 stock most companies and hardware stores carry. One continuous piece, cut to your exact roofline. Seams land only at the corners, end caps, and downspouts.
Here’s what professional installation puts on the house:
Sectional gutters come in 10-foot lengths joined together, and every joint eventually leaks. We don’t install them. Traditional gutters hung on spikes and ferrules have the same problem. Copper gutters are worth a conversation on a historic property where the aesthetic appeal justifies the cost.
Aurora has a lot of housing stock built well before 1990, and pulling gutters off one is rarely a straight swap. Years of overflow leave rotted fascia and soffit behind the trough. Our skilled technicians check the wood before anything new goes up, and you hear about it at the estimate, not halfway through the job.
Signs it’s time for a full replacement instead of another patch:
Replacement beats chasing leaks on an old system, and new gutters sharpen the curb appeal on a historic street.
Installation is the right time to add gutter covers. Ours mount under the drip edge, not under the shingle like the lesser systems, so your roof and its warranty stay intact. The perforated hood and exclusive double flow reducers let rainwater filter through while leaves and pine needles wash over the edge. No ladders, no scooping, and far less ice dam pressure through winter.
Gutters are what we’re known for, but Doug’s crews handle roofing too. We install Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration shingles with SureNail technology, which grips through a reinforced nailing strip and holds up better under Ohio Valley wind than a standard shingle. The whole job runs in a single day, and your old roof leaves with us. No week-long dumpster in the driveway.
If the roof and the gutters are both aging out, doing them together makes sense. The crew sets the drip edge and the gutter line at the same time, so water moves off the roof and away from the house the way it should. One company, one standard of work, one call.
All warranties transfer to the next owner for up to 20 years, which is real value at resale. There’s a 60-day money-back guarantee on top of it.

Yes. Aurora is a regular stop for our crews, along with Lawrenceburg, Greendale, and Hidden Valley.
Most homes are a one-day job. A larger house, or one that needs fascia repair first, can run into a second day.
Seamless runs are formed on-site in one continuous piece. Sectional gutters come in 10-foot lengths joined together, and every joint is a future leak.
It depends on linear footage, story height, and whether any wood needs replacing. The estimate is free, and the quote is the number you pay.
Often, yes. When undersized or poorly pitched gutters dump water against the foundation, a properly sized seamless system with downspouts routed clear of the house solves it at the source.
Yes. Property managers and contractors call us for the same system we put on residential jobs.
