FAQs
How can I tell it’s time to replace my gutters rather than repair them?
In Cookeville’s wet climate, gutters that show persistent leaks at the seams, sag away from the fascia, have extensive rust or paint peeling, or contain multiple sections with cracks and holes usually warrant full replacement. If more than 25–30 % of the system is damaged, repairs become cost-inefficient. Overflow during moderate rain, mildew on siding, or landscaping erosion below the eaves are additional signs your gutters are no longer protecting the home properly and should be replaced.
What gutter materials and profiles do you recommend for homes in Cookeville?
For most Cookeville homeowners, 5- or 6-inch seamless aluminum K-style gutters are the best balance of durability, appearance, and price. Aluminum resists rust, handles our freeze-thaw cycles, and comes in baked-on colors that match common roof and trim shades. Homes with steep roofs or surrounded by pine trees often benefit from 6-inch gutters for greater water volume and debris clearance. For upscale or historic properties, copper half-round gutters provide a distinctive look and can last 50+ years, though the initial cost is higher.
How long does a typical gutter replacement project take?
Most single-story homes in the Cookeville area are completed in one day. A two-story or very large residence may take 1½–2 days, especially if old gutter removal reveals fascia repairs that must be made first. Our crew fabricates seamless gutters on site, which cuts installation time considerably. We schedule work around weather forecasts and keep you updated so there are no surprises.
Will new gutters really improve the value and efficiency of my home?
Yes. Properly sized, clog-resistant gutters channel water away from your foundation, preventing costly structural and basement moisture issues. They also reduce siding rot and soil erosion, extending the life of landscaping and exterior paint. Appraisers note well-maintained drainage systems as a positive feature, and potential buyers appreciate the transferability of our 20-year workmanship warranty. In short, new gutters protect your investment and can enhance curb appeal.
Do I need to be home during the gutter replacement?
It’s not required. Many clients choose to leave for work while our insured crew completes the project. We do ask that you unlock gates, move vehicles away from the work area, and keep pets indoors. If you’d like a final walk-through before we leave, we can schedule the installation for a day you’re available or provide photos of the completed work along with your warranty paperwork.
What does gutter replacement cost in Cookeville and what factors affect the price?
Costs generally run $8–$12 per linear foot for seamless aluminum and $18–$25 for copper, including removal of the old system and disposal. Key price variables are linear footage, number of downspouts, stories of the home, fascia repairs, gutter guards, and specialty colors or profiles. After a free on-site inspection and precise measurement with our digital meter, we provide a written estimate that locks in pricing for 30 days.
