FAQs
How do I know if my Old Fort home needs gutter replacement instead of a simple repair?
Common warning signs include sagging or pulling away from the fascia, frequent overflowing even after cleaning, extensive rust or pitting, cracked or separated gutter sections, and water stains or rot on siding or soffits. Because Old Fort receives more than 50 inches of annual rainfall and occasional heavy storms, small gutter problems can escalate quickly. If multiple sections show damage or the gutters are more than 20 years old, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated spot repairs.
What gutter materials and styles do you offer for replacements in Old Fort?
Dependable Gutters Roofing installs high-quality seamless aluminum, copper, and galvanized steel systems. Aluminum is the most popular in McDowell County because it is lightweight, rust-resistant, and budget-friendly. Copper offers a premium, long-lasting option that develops an attractive patina, while galvanized steel provides extra strength for homes with large roof spans or heavy leaf loads. We supply both K-style and half-round profiles in 5-inch and 6-inch sizes, plus a wide palette of baked-on colors to match Old Fort’s historic and newer residences.
How long does a typical gutter replacement project take?
For an average single-story home, our crew can remove old gutters, fabricate seamless runs on-site, and install the new system in one day—often in just 4-6 hours. Larger or multi-story properties, complex rooflines, or add-ons such as gutter guards may extend the job to two days. We schedule work around weather conditions so your roof edge is never left unprotected during rain.
Will new gutters really help protect my roof and foundation from water damage?
Absolutely. Properly sized, pitch-corrected gutters channel thousands of gallons of storm water each year away from fascia boards, siding, windows, landscaping, and footings. In Old Fort’s mountainous terrain, controlling runoff is critical to preventing basement seepage and foundation settling. Replacing undersized or leaky gutters reduces ice-dam formation at the roof edge in winter and prevents costly wood rot repairs in the eaves.
Are seamless gutters worth the investment for homes in Old Fort’s climate?
Yes. Seamless gutters are custom-formed from single lengths of metal, eliminating most joints where leaks start. With Old Fort’s heavy downpours and dense tree cover, fewer seams mean fewer chances for clogs and corrosion. Homeowners typically see 20–30 years of trouble-free service, reducing maintenance costs and enhancing curb appeal. The price difference compared to sectional systems is modest and quickly offset by lower repair and cleaning bills.
Do you provide warranties and maintenance tips after installing new gutters?
Every replacement comes with a 20-year material warranty (lifetime for copper) and a 5-year workmanship guarantee covering installation defects or leaks. We also offer optional annual cleaning and inspection plans. At project completion you receive a care guide with recommended cleaning frequency, safe ladder practices, and advice on adding downspout extensions or gutter guards to accommodate Old Fort’s heavy leaf fall from surrounding hardwoods.
