FAQs
What are high-capacity gutters and why are they beneficial for homes in Norris?
High-capacity gutters are oversized gutter systems—usually 6" or 7" wide—designed to carry significantly more water than standard 5" residential gutters. Norris receives frequent heavy downpours and sudden storm bursts, so a larger trough and downspout diameter allow rainwater to be moved off the roof faster, protecting fascia boards, soffits, siding, foundations, and landscaping from overflow damage.
How can I tell that my existing gutters need to be replaced instead of repaired?
Look for multiple leaks at seams, visible sagging, sections pulling away from the fascia, rust or corrosion holes, peeling paint beneath the gutter line, and water marks on the foundation. If more than 20–25 % of your system shows these issues or the gutters are over 20 years old, replacement is usually more cost-effective than piecemeal repairs.
What materials and profiles do you offer for high-capacity gutter replacements?
We install seamless aluminum, galvanized steel, and copper in both 6" K-style and 7" box or half-round profiles. Seamless aluminum is the most popular in Norris because it is lightweight, rust-resistant, and available in 20+ baked-on colors. Steel and copper are recommended for homeowners who want exceptional durability or a distinctive architectural finish.
How long does a typical gutter replacement take from start to finish?
For an average single-story home in Norris, tear-off of the old gutters and installation of new seamless high-capacity gutters is usually completed in one day. Two-story or very large roofs can take two days. We fabricate the gutters onsite with our roll-forming machine, minimizing installation time and ensuring a custom fit.
Will high-capacity gutters really handle the severe thunderstorms we get in East Tennessee?
Yes. A 6" K-style gutter can carry nearly 40 % more water than a 5" gutter, and a 7" system can double capacity. When paired with 3"×4" or 4"×5" oversized downspouts and correct pitch, they safely divert rainfall rates of 2–3 inches per hour—well above the heaviest storms historically recorded in Norris.
What does gutter replacement cost and what warranties do you provide?
Costs vary with material and home size, but most Norris homeowners spend $10–$15 per linear foot for seamless aluminum high-capacity gutters, including removal of the old system and new downspouts. Steel runs about 15 % more; copper can be 3–4× higher. We include a 20-year manufacturer’s finish warranty on aluminum plus a 5-year workmanship warranty covering leaks, sagging, and fastening failures.
