Carl did our estimate and worked with us on scope. Laura responded efficiently in the office with questions and scheduling. Installers were friendly, happy, and did good work!
M. Yoder
Wow!!!! Remarkable craftsmanship and customer friendly. Carl was on time and provided a very competitive quote; honest and communicated all options well. On installation day, Oliver and Carlos worked meticulously fitting the gutters and downspouts. They also took much time ensuring the gutters fit perfectly under the drip edge of the roof. The team also placed gutter guards on the gutters that historically plugged from tree coverage. I am very pleased with the service!!!!
Maciej Giorgi
Professional and very friendly. "Old school" customer care that is so rare and valuable these days. They installed a box gutter, length of house with just barely enough space due to adjacent pergola. project came out beautifully and I would highly recommend them.

We were in desperate need of new gutters and we called Sunlife. They came out within a week and gave us a great price on the quote. We were happy with them from start to finish! The crew that came out to install were polite, worked nonstop until they completed their job and made sure to clean up behind themselves. We love our new gutters! They look great. If you’re looking for new gutters, call them, you will not be disappointed!

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re noticing standing water in your yard, erosion around your foundation, or water pooling near downspouts after heavy rain, it’s likely a sign your property needs improved drainage. Our team can inspect your property and recommend a solution.

A French drain collects and redirects water from saturated ground areas using a gravel trench and perforated pipe. A buried downspout extension connects directly to your gutters to carry rainwater away from your home underground—both are effective, but serve different needs.

Not at all. All of our drainage systems are buried underground and designed to blend seamlessly with your landscape. Once installed, your yard will look clean and well-maintained—often even better than before.

Most underground drainage projects can be completed in one to two days, depending on the size of the system and weather conditions. We’ll provide a clear timeline before starting any work.

If you’re getting new gutters or already have them installed, we can tie your downspouts directly into the drainage system for a fully integrated solution. This ensures rainwater is managed properly from roof to ground.
