FAQs
Why is a detailed roof inspection important before gutter replacement in Calhoun?
A thorough inspection lets us evaluate the condition of both the roof decking and fascia boards that anchor the gutters. Calhoun’s hot summers, sudden downpours, and occasional hail can cause hidden rot or shingle damage. Identifying these issues first ensures the new gutters are attached to sound wood, prevents future leaks, and often saves money by addressing small roofing problems before they become major repairs.
How often should I have my roof and gutters inspected in Calhoun’s climate?
We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year—ideally every spring after winter freezes and again after any severe storm. Calhoun experiences heavy rain events and high humidity that accelerate wear on shingles, flashing, and gutter seams. Regular check-ups catch early signs of rust, sagging, and water intrusion, extending the life of both your roof and gutter system.
What signs indicate I need gutter replacement rather than repair?
Persistent leaks at multiple seams, sections that sag or pull away from the fascia, extensive rust or pitting, and gutters that are undersized for today’s rainfall rates all point to replacement. In Calhoun, clog-related overflow can also warp older aluminum or vinyl gutters beyond repair. If more than 30% of the system shows these problems, installing new seamless gutters is usually the most cost-effective option.
How long does a gutter replacement project typically take in Calhoun?
For an average single-story home, removal of the old gutters, minor fascia repairs, and installation of new seamless aluminum gutters with downspouts can usually be completed in one day. Larger two-story homes may require two days. Weather is the main variable; we schedule installations around Calhoun’s frequent afternoon thunderstorms to ensure proper sealing and safety.
What types of gutters do you recommend for homes in Calhoun, and why?
Most homeowners choose 5" or 6" K-style seamless aluminum gutters because they combine affordability with high water-handling capacity for our heavy Georgia rains. For homes surrounded by pine trees, we often add micro-mesh gutter guards to reduce clogging. Copper or steel gutters are available for historic properties or those needing extra durability, but they come with higher upfront costs.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover roof or gutter replacement after storm damage in Calhoun?
Coverage depends on your policy, but many insurers in Georgia do pay for replacement when damage results from a covered peril such as wind, hail, or falling debris. After a storm, we provide a detailed inspection report with photos and moisture readings that you can submit to your adjuster. If your claim is approved, you’re typically responsible only for the deductible. Routine wear and lack of maintenance, however, are not covered.
