FAQs
Why are gutter-guard systems especially important for homes in Lookout Mountain?
Lookout Mountain’s abundant trees mean that gutters frequently become clogged with leaves, pine needles, and other debris. A properly installed gutter-guard system keeps this debris out, ensuring rainwater is directed away from foundations and preventing costly water damage or erosion on the mountain’s steep slopes.
How do I know if I need a full gutter replacement or just new gutter guards?
We begin with a free on-site inspection. If your existing gutters are structurally sound—with no rust-through, sagging, or improper pitch—we can retrofit our premium guards onto them. If we find leaks, separation at seams, undersized downspouts, or damage from past ice events, we’ll recommend a complete gutter replacement to guarantee long-term performance.
What materials do you use for gutters and guards, and how long do they last?
Our standard replacement gutters are seamless 6-inch K-style aluminum, coated with a baked-on enamel finish that resists corrosion for 25+ years. For customers who prefer even greater durability, we offer copper and painted steel options. The micro-mesh gutter guards are made of surgical-grade stainless steel and a heavy-duty aluminum frame; together they carry a 40-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Will gutter-guard installation affect my existing roof warranty?
No. Our system attaches to the gutter lip and fascia, not under the shingles, so it does not penetrate or lift the roofing material. We follow manufacturer-approved practices for asphalt, metal, and cedar roofs, ensuring that your current roof warranty remains completely intact.
How long does the installation take, and is there any cleanup required?
A typical single-story home in Lookout Mountain can be completed in one day; larger or multi-story homes may take two. We remove all old gutters, screws, and debris and haul them away. Before leaving, our crew performs a magnetic sweep of your lawn and driveway to pick up stray fasteners and ensures downspouts flow freely.
What maintenance will I need to do after the new gutter-guard system is installed?
The system is virtually maintenance-free. In most cases, rainfall will rinse off the micro-mesh. We recommend a quick visual check each spring and fall—use a garden hose to spray any sections that accumulate heavy pollen or dust. No more dangerous ladder cleaning sessions or seasonal gutter scooping.
