FAQs
What are the most common signs that my gutters need to be replaced instead of repaired?
In La Follette we see a lot of gutters that have reached the end of their life after 15–25 years. If you notice chronic leaks at the seams, sections pulling away from the fascia, paint peeling off the siding below the gutter line, landscaping erosion, or water stains in the attic or along interior walls, the gutter system has likely failed. When more than 20 % of the gutter run is damaged, replacement is usually more cost-effective than spot repairs.
How long does a full gutter replacement usually take?
For an average single-story home in La Follette, a standard 5- or 6-inch seamless aluminum gutter system can be removed and replaced in one day—often in 4–6 hours if the weather cooperates. Larger homes, multi-story roofs, or complex drainage layouts can add an extra day. Our team confirms roof and fascia integrity first, makes any needed minor repairs, and then fabricates the seamless troughs on-site to speed up installation.
What gutter materials and profiles do you offer, and which ones work best in our East Tennessee climate?
We install seamless aluminum (the local favorite), copper, and steel gutters, available in both K-style and half-round profiles. Seamless aluminum K-style is the most popular because it resists rust, handles heavy La Follette downpours, and comes in over 20 baked-on colors to match your roof or trim. Copper offers a premium, long-life option (50 + years) that patinas beautifully, while galvanized or galvalume steel works well for cabins or farm buildings that need extra strength. For homes beneath heavy tree cover, we can pair any material with a perforated or micro-mesh gutter guard to reduce clogging.
How will new gutters protect my roof and foundation?
A properly pitched, clog-free gutter system captures roof runoff and channels it at least 3–5 ft away from the foundation. This prevents shingle edge rot, fascia decay, ice-dam formation, basement leaks, and soil erosion. In Campbell County’s clay soils, controlling runoff is critical because water that pools against the foundation can cause cracking during freeze/thaw cycles. By installing oversized downspouts and matching splash blocks or buried drain lines, we protect the roof, siding, landscaping, and footing all at once.
What does gutter replacement cost in the La Follette area, and what factors affect the price?
Most homes fall between $8 and $14 per linear foot for seamless aluminum, including removal of the old gutters, new hangers, downspouts, and disposal. Copper starts around $25 per foot. Variables that affect price include total footage, number of stories (which dictates ladder or lift work), fascia repairs, the addition of gutter guards, buried drain extensions, and color upgrades. We provide free on-site measurements and a written quote so you know the exact investment before we schedule the job.
Do you back your work with any warranties or maintenance services?
Yes. All of our seamless aluminum gutters come with a 20-year manufacturer’s finish warranty and a 5-year craftsmanship warranty on installation and water-tightness. Copper carries a 50-year material warranty. We also offer an optional annual cleaning and inspection program that keeps the warranty valid, ensures downspouts stay clear, and identifies roof or fascia issues early. If you ever encounter a leak or sag within the warranty period, call us and we’ll fix it at no charge.
