FAQs
What makes a gutter system “high-capacity,” and why is it important in Lenoir City?
A high-capacity gutter system uses oversized 6" (or larger) seamless troughs, 3" × 4" downspouts, and heavy-duty hidden hangers spaced every 24". The larger cross-section moves up to 40 % more water than a standard 5" K-style system—crucial in Lenoir City, where we average about 52" of rainfall a year. The added capacity prevents water from backing up under shingles, spilling over fascia boards, or pooling around foundations during our frequent spring and summer storms.
How can I tell if my current gutters need to be replaced instead of repaired?
Look for chronic leaks at seams, sagging sections, peeling paint on fascia, rotted soffits, mold on siding, or landscape erosion beneath the eaves. If the metal is pitted or rusted through, or if more than 25 % of the runs are damaged, replacement is usually more cost-effective than spot repairs. Our free inspection includes a moisture scan of roof edges and infrared imaging so you can see any hidden damage before deciding.
What materials do you install, and how long do they last?
Most Lenoir City homeowners choose .032-gauge aluminum because it is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and budget-friendly; it carries a 20- to 30-year lifespan with our baked-on enamel finish. For coastal-grade durability and extra curb appeal, we also offer 16-oz. copper (50+ years) and Galvalume steel (30+ years). All options come seamless and are custom-fabricated on-site to fit your home perfectly.
How long will the gutter replacement take, and will it disrupt my routine?
A standard single-story home (180–220 linear feet of gutter) is typically completed in one day. Two-story or very steep-slope roofs can take up to two days. Our crews arrive at 8 a.m., remove and recycle the old gutters, install new hangers, fabricate the seamless runs, seal all joints, and clean the site before 5 p.m. Because the work is exterior only, you do not have to be home—just make sure pets are indoors and driveway access is clear.
Will I need permits or HOA approval, and do you handle that process?
Lenoir City does not require a building permit for like-for-like gutter replacement, but some subdivisions along Fort Loudoun Lake and in Tellico Village have HOA design guidelines. If approval is needed, we provide color samples, system drawings, and manufacturer specs for your application packet at no extra cost. We also carry $2 million in liability insurance and workers’ comp, meeting all HOA contractor requirements.
How much does a high-capacity gutter replacement cost, and are financing options available?
Pricing averages $9–$13 per linear foot for seamless aluminum, including oversized downspouts and debris-blocking outlets. Copper starts at $26 per foot. Final cost depends on roof height, fascia repairs, and add-ons like gutter guards. After your on-site estimate you receive a written quote that’s good for 30 days. We accept major credit cards and offer 0 % interest financing for 12 months on projects over $1,500, subject to credit approval.
