FAQs
What does a roofline inspection include and why is it important?
A roofline inspection is a detailed assessment of all components located where the roof meets the exterior walls—fascia boards, soffits, guttering, bargeboards, and flashing. Our technicians in Decherd examine each element for rot, pest damage, rust, leaks, loose fasteners, and inadequate ventilation. Early detection of roofline issues prevents water ingress, mold growth, and structural deterioration that could otherwise require costlier roof repairs down the road.
How do I know if my gutters need to be replaced or just repaired?
Visible cracks, sagging sections, frequent clogs, peeling paint beneath the gutters, water pooling around the foundation, or soffit/fascia rot are common signs that replacement may be necessary. During the inspection we measure slope, downspout capacity, and attachment integrity. If only isolated sections are damaged and the gutter system still maintains correct pitch and capacity, spot repairs may suffice. Otherwise, replacement ensures better drainage, reduced maintenance, and longer protection for your home.
What gutter materials and profiles do you offer for homes in Decherd?
We install seamless aluminum (the most popular choice for its corrosion resistance and affordability), copper (long-lasting and aesthetically distinctive), and galvanized steel (robust for heavy-duty applications). Standard K-style and half-round profiles are available in 5-inch or 6-inch widths, along with custom colors that complement Decherd neighborhood HOA guidelines. We also offer premium leaf-guard options to reduce debris buildup from nearby oaks and maples common in the area.
How long does a typical gutter replacement take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Most residential gutter replacements in Decherd can be completed in one day. Larger homes or those requiring fascia repairs may take a second day. Our crew arrives between 8–9 a.m., removes existing gutters, repairs minor fascia damage, installs new seamless gutters on-site, and cleans the work area before leaving. You can stay in the house throughout the project; utilities and driveway access are maintained, and loud work is limited to daylight hours.
Are there any local permits or codes in Decherd that affect roofline or gutter work?
Decherd does not require a separate permit solely for gutter replacement on single-family homes, but the work must comply with the 2018 International Residential Code adopted by Franklin County. This means proper gutter sizing, downspout placement at least 3 ft away from foundation walls, and correct fastening to wood fascia. Historic properties inside city overlay districts may need design approval. Our team handles all code checks and, when applicable, obtains HOA or historic review approvals for you.
Do you offer warranties or maintenance plans after the gutter replacement?
Yes. All new seamless aluminum or steel gutters come with a 20-year manufacturer’s material warranty and our 5-year workmanship guarantee covering leaks and sagging due to installation defects. Copper gutters include a 50-year material warranty. We also offer an optional annual maintenance plan: for a small fee, we perform a spring and fall inspection, clean out debris, flush downspouts, and reseal miters if needed, ensuring your new gutter system protects your Decherd home for decades.
