FAQs
Why are sturdy hangers important for gutter systems in Rockwood?
Hangers are the brackets that secure your gutters to the roof fascia. In Rockwood, we experience heavy rainfall, occasional ice buildup, and strong winds off the Cumberland Plateau. Sturdy hangers prevent gutters from sagging or detaching under these loads, ensuring proper water flow away from your home and protecting your siding, foundation, and landscaping from water damage.
How can I tell if my current gutter hangers need to be replaced?
Common signs include visible sagging or pulling away from the fascia, gutters that overflow even when clean, rusted or broken screws, and water stains behind the gutter line. During an on-site inspection, we also look for fascia rot and confirm whether existing hangers are spaced correctly (no more than 24–36 inches apart). If any of these issues are present, replacement with sturdier hangers is recommended.
What types of hangers and materials do you install, and how long do they last?
We typically use heavy-duty aluminum or stainless-steel hidden hangers paired with long structural screws that anchor into the rafter tails. Aluminum hangers are corrosion-resistant and cost-effective, lasting 20–30 years with proper maintenance, while stainless-steel options can exceed 30 years. For coastal or high-salt environments, we also offer marine-grade stainless steel. All materials meet or exceed ASTM standards for strength and corrosion resistance.
Will new gutters and hangers withstand Rockwood’s weather conditions?
Yes. Our gutter systems are sized based on local rainfall data to handle peak downpour rates, and the sturdy hangers are load-tested to resist ice loads and wind uplift typical in Rockwood. We also install expansion joints on long runs to accommodate temperature swings and use sealing techniques that prevent leaks during freeze-thaw cycles.
How long does gutter and hanger replacement take, and what is the process?
Most residential projects are completed in one day. The process includes: 1) removing old gutters and hangers; 2) inspecting and repairing damaged fascia if needed; 3) installing new sturdy hangers at the correct pitch; 4) hanging seamless gutters cut on-site for a custom fit; 5) attaching downspouts and testing water flow. We clean up all debris and haul away old materials before leaving.
Do you offer warranties or ongoing maintenance plans after installation?
Yes. We provide a 20-year material warranty on aluminum gutters, a lifetime warranty against hanger failure, and a 5-year workmanship warranty. Optional annual maintenance plans include gutter cleaning, resealing joints, and a full inspection to ensure your system continues performing optimally.
