FAQs
What makes precision-cut gutters different from standard sectional gutters?
Precision-cut gutters are measured and fabricated on-site in single continuous runs that match the exact dimensions of your Athens home. This eliminates the seams found in traditional sectional systems, greatly reducing the chance of leaks, sagging, and clogging. The custom fit also improves curb appeal and allows water to flow more efficiently during the heavy downpours common in Northeast Georgia.
How do I know my Athens home really needs a full gutter replacement?
Key signs include frequent overflows despite cleaning, visible sagging or separation from the fascia, rust or pin-hole leaks, peeling paint on siding, mildew on exterior walls, and water pooling around the foundation. Because our region experiences significant seasonal rainfall, even small gutter failures can quickly lead to roof rot or foundation damage. A free inspection from our team will determine whether targeted repairs or a full replacement is the most cost-effective solution.
What gutter materials and profiles do you offer, and which is best for Athens’ climate?
We fabricate aluminum, copper, and galvanized steel gutters in K-style and half-round profiles. For most Athens homes, seamless aluminum (0.027" or 0.032" gauge) offers the best balance of affordability, corrosion resistance, and color options. Copper provides unmatched longevity and a classic look for historic properties, while steel is ideal for commercial roofs requiring extra strength. During your consultation, we’ll discuss roof pitch, tree coverage, and budget to recommend the optimal material and style.
How long does a precision-cut gutter replacement typically take?
For an average 2,000–3,000 sq ft residence, tear-off of old gutters, minor fascia repairs, and installation of new seamless gutters with downspouts can usually be completed in one day. Larger homes, multi-story properties, or projects involving soffit/fascia replacement may extend the timeline to two days. We schedule work to minimize disruption and always perform a thorough cleanup before leaving your property.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval for new gutters in Athens?
The City of Athens-Clarke County does not require a building permit solely for gutter replacement, but historic overlay districts may have design guidelines. If you belong to an HOA, their covenants might specify approved colors or profiles. We help homeowners gather any documentation needed and can supply specs, color samples, and insurance certificates to streamline the approval process.
What warranties and maintenance services do you provide after installation?
Our seamless aluminum and steel gutters carry a 20-year manufacturer’s finish warranty and a 5-year workmanship warranty covering leaks, sagging, and fastening failures. Copper systems include a limited lifetime material warranty. To keep your new gutters performing at their best, we offer optional annual or semi-annual maintenance plans that include debris removal, hanger checks, and downspout flushing—particularly useful in Athens’ leafy neighborhoods during fall leaf drop and spring pollen season.
