FAQs
Why are undersized gutters a problem in Bean Station, and how can I tell if mine are too small?
Bean Station averages more than 45 inches of rain a year, and sudden downpours are common. If your gutters are narrower than 5 inches—or were originally sized for lighter rainfall—they can overflow, push water behind fascia boards, or cause soil erosion around your foundation. Telltale signs include water spilling over the gutter edge during storms, peeling paint or mildew on siding, and channels or divots in the landscaping beneath the eaves.
What size gutters do you recommend for homes in Bean Station, and how do you determine the right fit?
Most single-family homes benefit from seamless 6-inch K-style gutters paired with oversized 3" × 4" downspouts. We calculate the roof’s drainage area, pitch factor, and the local 100-year rainfall rate to verify capacity. Steeper or large, complex roofs may require 7-inch commercial-grade gutters, splash guards at inside corners, or additional downspouts to handle peak flow.
What is involved in replacing my undersized gutters?
1. Inspection & measurement: We map every eave, note fascia condition, and identify any rotten wood that needs repair. 2. Custom fabrication: Seamless aluminum sections are roll-formed on-site to your exact lengths, minimizing joints and potential leaks. 3. Removal & disposal: We carefully detach existing gutters and downspouts, inspect the fascia, and replace damaged boards. 4. Installation: Hidden hangers are spaced every 24 inches (or 16 inches on steep roofs) and screwed into rafter tails for strength. Downspouts are secured with color-matched straps. 5. Final check: We water-test each run, make slope adjustments, and haul away all debris.
How much does gutter replacement cost in Bean Station, and what affects the price?
For a typical 2,000 sq ft home, 6-inch seamless aluminum gutters run $10–$14 per linear foot installed, so most projects fall between $1,600 and $2,300. Costs rise when: • You choose copper or steel instead of aluminum. • The roofline is high or steep, requiring extra safety measures. • Additional fascia or soffit repairs are needed. • You add gutter guards, which average $4–$9 per foot. We provide free, written estimates that list every line item before work begins.
Will I need a permit or HOA approval to replace my gutters?
Grainger County doesn’t require a building permit for like-for-like gutter replacement. However, if we have to replace structural roof decking or modify the fascia beyond minor repairs, a permit may be triggered. If you live in an HOA neighborhood, check your covenants—many associations want prior approval of gutter color and downspout placement. We’re happy to supply drawings and product data to streamline the approval process.
What materials and warranties do you offer for gutter replacements?
We install seamless aluminum (.027" and .032") in 30 baked-on colors, copper, and galvalume steel. All materials are backed by a 20-year manufacturer’s finish warranty. Our workmanship warranty covers leaks, sagging, and improper pitch for 5 years, transferable to the next homeowner. Optional micro-mesh guards come with a 25-year no-clog guarantee, ensuring your new, properly sized gutter system stays free-flowing with minimal maintenance.
