FAQs
How can I tell if my Chattanooga home needs new gutters instead of a simple repair?
Watch for sagging gutters, peeling paint on fascia boards, frequent overflows during storms, rust spots or pin-holes, and water pooling around the foundation. Because Chattanooga averages more than 50 inches of rain per year, small defects escalate quickly. If more than 20–25 % of the system is damaged, or if sections have pulled loose from the house, replacement is normally more cost-effective than repeated spot repairs.
What gutter materials do you install, and which one performs best in our local climate?
We offer seamless aluminum (the most popular), copper, and galvanized steel. Seamless aluminum resists rust, handles heavy rainfall, and is the most budget-friendly. Copper is premium, virtually maintenance-free, and develops an attractive patina—ideal for historic Chattanooga neighborhoods. Galvanized steel provides superior strength for homes with very steep roofs or where snow-load can occur on Lookout Mountain. During your estimate we explain pros, cons, and pricing so you can choose the best match for your budget and aesthetic.
What is the typical gutter replacement process and how long will it take?
1. Free on-site inspection and written estimate. 2. Color and material selection. 3. Scheduling—most projects are booked within 1–2 weeks. 4. On installation day we remove and recycle existing gutters, repair minor fascia damage if needed, fabricate seamless troughs on site, install with hidden hangers every 24 inches, add downspouts, and seal all joints. 5. Job-site cleanup and final walkthrough. A standard single-story home takes about 4–6 hours; larger or multi-story homes may require one full day.
Will new gutters really protect my roof and foundation better than the old ones?
Yes. Properly sized, correctly sloped gutters channel water away from shingles, fascia, soffits, and the foundation. In Chattanooga’s frequent downpours, this prevents ice-damming in winter, basement leaks, soil erosion, and mold growth. Our systems include oversized 3" × 4" downspouts that move up to 40 % more water than traditional 2" × 3" pipes, giving your roofline a significant performance upgrade.
Can I add gutter guards and color options to match my home?
Absolutely. We stock 20+ baked-on enamel colors, plus two copper finishes, so your gutters blend seamlessly with existing trim. We also install several gutter guard styles—from micro-mesh stainless screens to solid surface covers—designed to keep out the abundant leaves from Chattanooga’s oaks and maples. Guards can be installed during replacement or as a future upgrade.
How much does gutter replacement cost in Chattanooga, and what warranties or financing do you offer?
Prices vary by linear footage, number of stories, and material. Seamless aluminum averages $8–$12 per linear foot installed; copper runs $25–$35 per foot. A typical 200-foot aluminum system costs around $1,800–$2,400, including removal of old gutters. We back our workmanship with a 5-year labor warranty and pass through manufacturer paint and material warranties up to 50 years. Zero-interest financing for 12 months is available on projects over $1,500, subject to credit approval.
