FAQs
What advantages do your premium gutter-guard systems offer over basic gutter screens?
Our premium systems combine a surgical-grade stainless-steel micro-mesh with an aluminum frame that is precision-notched into the gutter lip. This design blocks debris as small as shingle grit, resists corrosion, and will not sag or pull away like plastic screens. Because the mesh is self-cleaning—using surface tension to shed leaves and pine needles—it eliminates 90-95 % of manual gutter cleaning, protects fascia boards, and prevents foundation erosion caused by overflowing water.
Why is gutter replacement often recommended when we reroof a home in Sharps Chapel?
Shingle removal frequently bends or dents existing gutters, and new architectural shingles are thicker, changing the drip-edge position. Installing new, properly pitched gutters at the same time ensures the roof warranty remains valid, stops water from wicking behind the fascia, and gives you a seamless color match. In Sharps Chapel’s heavy spring rains, an integrated roof-to-gutter system handles the 2–3 inches per hour peaks we occasionally see along Norris Lake.
How long do the gutters and guards last, and what materials are used?
We fabricate 5-inch and 6-inch seamless K-style gutters from 0.032-gauge aluminum coated with Kynar 500, rated for 50-year color retention. The guards use 316 marine-grade stainless steel and powder-coated aluminum frames. Under normal conditions you can expect 30–40 years of service life; both components carry a transferable lifetime no-clog warranty and a 20-year finish warranty.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval for gutter replacement in Sharps Chapel?
Union County does not require a building permit for like-for-like gutter work, but some subdivisions around Sharp Chapel Harbor and Norris Shores do have architectural review committees. We provide specification sheets, color samples, and photos you can submit, and we will coordinate directly with your HOA if you prefer. We also carry $2 million in liability insurance and workers’ comp, which many HOAs require from contractors.
What is the installation process and how long will it take?
A typical single-story 2,400 sq ft home takes one day: morning gutter tear-off, fascia inspection, minor wood repairs if needed, followed by on-site roll forming of seamless troughs up to 60 ft long. Downspouts are fastened with hidden cleats every 4 ft, and the micro-mesh guards are secured with stainless screws every 12 in. We haul away all debris, run magnetic sweepers for nails, and provide before-and-after photos. Multi-story or complex roofs may extend to two days.
What maintenance is required after installation, and what kind of support do you provide?
The micro-mesh eliminates interior gutter cleaning, but we recommend an annual visual inspection and a quick garden-hose rinse of the gutter face to keep the finish glossy. Every install includes a free 12-month inspection, and our service team is available 24/7 during storm season. If the system ever clogs, we will clear it and correct the issue at no charge, per our lifetime no-clog guarantee.
