FAQs
Why should I upgrade to high-capacity gutters for my Ooltewah home?
Ooltewah receives sudden, heavy downpours and high humidity that can overwhelm standard 5-inch gutters. High-capacity (usually 6-inch or oversized) systems channel 40–60 % more water, reducing the risk of roof rot, fascia damage, basement flooding, and landscape erosion. They are a proactive way to protect your property value and limit long-term repair costs.
What is included in a typical gutter replacement service?
Our replacement projects cover removal and disposal of old gutters, inspection of fascia/soffit for hidden rot, precise on-site fabrication of seamless aluminum or steel gutters, installation of appropriately pitched hangers every 24–36 inches, oversized downspouts, end caps, splash blocks, and a thorough cleanup. We also offer optional gutter guards and rain-barrel diverters.
How long does a high-capacity gutter installation take?
Most single-family homes in Ooltewah are completed in one day. Larger properties, multiple stories, or structural repairs (e.g., replacing rotten fascia) can add an extra day. We schedule jobs around local weather to ensure proper sealing and curing.
What factors affect the cost of gutter replacement in Ooltewah?
Price is influenced by linear footage, gutter material (aluminum, galvanized steel, copper), number and size of downspouts, stories/roof complexity, fascia repairs, choice of gutter guards, and disposal fees. On average, Ooltewah homeowners invest between $10 and $20 per linear foot for 6-inch seamless aluminum gutters, excluding optional accessories.
Do I need a permit to replace my gutters in Ooltewah?
Gutter replacement itself typically does not require a building permit in Hamilton County. However, if the project involves major structural changes, deck/porch roof modifications, or new downspout drainage lines that tie into the municipal storm system, the city may require approval. We handle any necessary permitting and code compliance for you.
How do I maintain my new high-capacity gutters?
Inspect and clean gutters twice a year—once after spring pollen drop and again after fall leaf fall. Even oversized gutters can clog with debris. Check for loose hangers, sealant wear at end caps, and downspout blockages. Installing micro-mesh guards can reduce cleaning to once a year. Always use a sturdy ladder or hire a professional to avoid injury.
