FAQs
Why should I choose custom-cut (seamless) gutters instead of standard sectional gutters for my Fountain City home?
Custom-cut gutters are fabricated on-site to the exact length of each roof edge, so there are no seams between end caps—only at the corners. Fewer seams mean fewer potential leak points, better water flow, and less debris snagging. Seamless runs also look cleaner and are color-matched to your trim. In Fountain City’s mix of heavy spring rains and fall leaves, a seamless system dramatically reduces maintenance and the risk of fascia or foundation damage compared with sectional, store-bought gutters.
What gutter materials do you offer, and which performs best in Fountain City’s climate?
We install aluminum, copper, and galvalume (zinc-aluminum coated steel). 1) Aluminum is the most popular: lightweight, rust-proof, available in dozens of baked-on colors, and cost-effective for most homes. 2) Copper is a premium option that develops an attractive patina and can last 60+ years with virtually no corrosion, making it ideal for historic or high-end properties. 3) Galvalume gives the strength of steel with extra corrosion resistance; it’s excellent for areas with hail exposure. For most Fountain City homeowners, 0.032" or 0.027" thick aluminum balances durability, longevity, and price.
How long does a typical gutter replacement project take from start to finish?
Most single-family homes are completed in one day. Our process includes: (1) a pre-job walkthrough and roofline measurement, (2) on-site roll-forming of custom lengths, (3) removal and recycling of the old gutters, (4) installation of new hangers every 24–36 inches, (5) precise slope calibration (1⁄4" per 10 ft) toward downspouts, and (6) a final water test and cleanup. Very large homes, multi-story properties, or projects requiring fascia repair may take 2–3 days, but we’ll give you an exact timeline during the estimate.
How do you determine the correct gutter size and profile for my roof?
We calculate projected roof area, pitch, and local rainfall intensity to size the system. Most Fountain City houses do well with 5" K-style gutters and 2"×3" downspouts. Steep or large roofs, or those with metal panels, often need 6" K-style gutters with 3"×4" downspouts to handle high runoff. We also offer half-round or box profiles for architectural match. During your consultation we’ll take laser measurements and use NOAA rainfall data to ensure your new system meets or exceeds ANSI/SPRI GD-1 drainage standards.
What factors affect the cost of a gutter replacement in Fountain City?
Price is typically quoted per linear foot and depends on: (1) chosen material (aluminum is least expensive, copper the most), (2) gutter size/profile (6" costs more than 5"), (3) number and length of downspouts, (4) stories/height—higher work needs extra safety equipment, (5) fascia or soffit repairs, and (6) add-ons such as leaf guards, splash blocks, or rain barrels. During our free estimate we itemize each line so you can pick options that suit your budget and performance goals.
Do you offer warranties, and what maintenance will my new gutters require?
Yes. Our seamless aluminum and galvalume systems include a 20-year manufacturer finish warranty and a 5-year workmanship warranty covering leaks or sagging. Copper systems carry a 50-year material warranty. To keep coverage valid you’ll need to (1) clean the gutters at least twice a year—more often if you have overhanging trees—or install leaf guards, (2) ensure downspouts stay clear, and (3) avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads on the finish. We offer affordable annual maintenance plans if you’d rather leave the ladder work to us.
