FAQs
What are high-capacity replacement gutters and why might I need them for my Powell home?
High-capacity gutters are oversized, professionally engineered troughs that move a larger volume of rainwater away from your roof and foundation than standard 5-inch systems. Powell frequently sees sudden, heavy downpours, and conventional gutters can overflow, causing fascia rot, landscape erosion, and basement leaks. Upgrading to 6-inch (or larger) seamless aluminum or steel gutters ensures water is captured and directed safely away—even during cloudbursts—protecting your roof investment and your property’s structural integrity.
How can I tell if my existing roof or gutters require replacement rather than repair?
Warning signs include shingles curling, cracking, or missing; granule loss visible in downspouts; sagging or rusted gutter sections; peeling exterior paint near the eaves; and water stains in the attic or along interior ceilings. If your roof is 20+ years old or your gutters have repeated leaks after multiple repairs, a comprehensive replacement usually delivers better long-term value. Our free on-site inspection in Powell includes drone imaging, moisture readings, and a written condition report so you can make an informed decision.
What materials do you use for high-capacity gutters and new roofing, and how long do they last?
For gutters we mainly install seamless 0.032-gauge aluminum, 26-gauge galvanized steel, or Kynar-coated steel for extra color retention. Matching 3 × 4-inch downspouts maximize flow. For roofing we offer architectural asphalt shingles (rated 25–30 years), Class 4 impact-resistant shingles (up to 50 years), and standing-seam metal (40–60 years). All components are fastened with stainless or polymer-coated screws to prevent corrosion, and we include baked-enamel gutter guards that keep debris out without impeding volume.
What is the typical replacement timeline for a Powell property?
Most single-family homes require 1–2 days for gutter replacement and 2–4 days for a roof tear-off and reroof, weather permitting. We start with protective tarping and magnetic lawn prep, remove old materials, make any deck or fascia repairs, then install the new roof and gutters with proper flashing and ventilation. Because we fabricate gutters on-site, there’s no delay for custom lengths. You’ll receive a daily progress update and final walkthrough before we consider the job complete.
Will high-capacity gutters really protect my foundation from the heavy rainfall we get in this area?
Yes. Oversized gutters collect nearly 40 % more water than standard systems. Combined with larger downspouts and correctly sloped extensions that discharge at least 6 feet from the house, they significantly reduce soil saturation around your foundation walls. In Powell’s clay-rich soil—prone to expansion and contraction—this is critical for preventing cracks and basement seepage. We also offer optional buried drain lines with clean-outs for maximum foundation protection.
What warranties and ongoing maintenance do you provide?
Every replacement roof comes with a manufacturer’s limited lifetime shingle warranty and our own 10-year workmanship warranty. Seamless aluminum and steel gutters carry 20- to 30-year material warranties and a 5-year labor warranty. If you opt for our maintenance plan, we perform annual roof and gutter inspections, reseal critical joints, and clear any debris—helping you uphold manufacturer coverage and extend service life. All warranty documents and maintenance schedules are delivered digitally after project completion.
