FAQs
What are hidden hangers and why are they better than traditional spike-and-ferrule gutter systems?
Hidden hangers are internal brackets that attach the gutter to the fascia board from the inside, leaving no visible fasteners on the exterior face. Compared with spike-and-ferrule systems, hidden hangers provide stronger support, eliminate the risk of spikes backing out, and give your roofline a cleaner look. In Gatlinburg’s heavy rainfall and high winds, this added strength helps prevent sagging and water overflow, extending the life of both the gutter and your home’s fascia.
Will hidden hanger gutter replacement work with the steep roof pitches common in Gatlinburg?
Yes. Hidden hangers are versatile and can be spaced closer together to accommodate the extra runoff that comes off steep mountain roofs. We calculate the optimal pitch and hanger spacing for each section of your home, ensuring water flows efficiently toward the downspouts even during torrential Smoky Mountain storms.
How long does a typical hidden hanger gutter replacement take?
Most single-family homes in Gatlinburg can be fully refitted with hidden hanger gutters in one day. Larger or multi-story homes may take two days. The process includes removal of old gutters, inspection and repair of fascia, precise measurement and onsite fabrication of seamless gutters, installation of hidden hangers every 24-32 inches (closer where snow loads are higher), and final water-flow testing.
What materials do you use for gutters with hidden hangers and how do they stand up to Gatlinburg weather?
We primarily install seamless aluminum or copper gutters paired with stainless-steel or heavy-gauge aluminum hidden hangers. Aluminum offers cost-effective durability and a baked-on enamel finish that resists the acidic rain common in the Smokies. Copper provides a premium, long-lasting option that develops a protective patina. Both materials withstand Gatlinburg’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, and UV exposure without rusting or warping.
How much does it cost to replace my existing gutters with hidden hangers in Gatlinburg?
Costs vary with linear footage, material choice, roof height, and any fascia repairs needed. As a ballpark, aluminum hidden-hanger systems average $8–$12 per linear foot installed, while copper ranges from $18–$25 per foot. An average 200-foot gutter system would run roughly $1,600–$2,400 for aluminum or $3,600–$5,000 for copper. We provide free onsite estimates that include tear-off, disposal, new downspouts, and a workmanship warranty.
Do I need to maintain hidden hanger gutters differently, and are they compatible with gutter guards?
Maintenance is similar—twice-yearly cleaning and inspection are recommended, especially under Gatlinburg’s leafy canopy. Because the hangers are concealed, there are no spikes to tighten, reducing routine upkeep. Hidden hanger gutters are fully compatible with most micro-mesh and solid-cover gutter guards; in fact, guards help keep debris out and reduce the likelihood of ice dams forming in winter.
