FAQs
Why is timely gutter replacement important for my Decatur home?
A properly functioning gutter system channels rainwater away from your roof, walls, and foundation. In Decatur’s humid, rain-heavy climate, failing gutters can cause roof leaks, fascia rot, siding stains, basement flooding, and soil erosion around your foundation. Replacing damaged or undersized gutters protects the full roofing system, extends shingle life, and helps you avoid costly structural repairs down the road.
How can I tell if my gutters need to be replaced instead of repaired?
Warning signs include frequent overflows despite cleaning, visible sagging or pulling away from the fascia, cracked or split sections, rust holes, peeling paint on nearby trim, mold around your soffit, and landscape wash-outs beneath the eaves. If more than 25–30 % of the gutter run shows these issues, or if the hangers and fascia are deteriorated, complete replacement is usually more cost-effective than spot repairs.
What gutter styles and materials does Line of Defense Roofing offer, and which is best for Decatur’s weather?
We install seamless K-style and half-round gutters in aluminum, galvanized steel, and copper. For most homeowners, 5" or 6" seamless aluminum is the best balance of affordability, corrosion resistance, and color choices. Homes with steep roofs or large surface areas may benefit from oversized 6" steel for added strength. Copper is a premium option that delivers unmatched longevity and a classic look. During your on-site consultation, we’ll evaluate roof pitch, rainfall load, and aesthetic goals to recommend the ideal system.
How long does a typical gutter replacement take, and will it disrupt my routine?
Most single-family homes in Decatur can be measured, fabricated, and fitted with new seamless gutters in one day. Larger or multi-story residences may take two days. Our crews arrive on time, remove old materials, inspect and repair fascia as needed, and clean the site before leaving. Because the work is performed outside, you can stay home and carry on with your daily activities with minimal interruption.
Do your gutter replacements come with warranties or maintenance plans?
Yes. Line of Defense Roofing backs every new gutter system with a 5-year workmanship warranty and the manufacturer’s 20- to 50-year material warranty (depending on metal type). We also offer optional annual maintenance plans that include spring and fall cleanouts, downspout flushing, and a full inspection to keep your warranty intact and your gutters flowing freely.
Can new gutters be color-matched and integrated with my existing roofing and drainage system?
Absolutely. Seamless aluminum gutters are available in more than 30 baked-on colors, and we can custom-order paint finishes for steel. During installation, we transition downspouts into existing underground drains or splash blocks, adjust slope for proper flow, and install matching gutter guards if desired. Our goal is a cohesive appearance that complements your roof, siding, and trim while improving overall drainage performance.
