FAQs
What are custom-fit channels and why are they important for gutter replacement?
Custom-fit channels are seamless gutters that are measured, cut, and formed on-site to the exact dimensions of your roofline. Because they eliminate the factory seams found in sectional gutters, they greatly reduce the risk of leaks, sagging, and clogs. In Tellico Plains, where sudden downpours and heavy leaf fall are common, a tight, continuous channel ensures water is carried away efficiently without damaging your fascia, landscaping, or foundation.
How long does a typical custom-fit gutter installation take in Tellico Plains?
For an average single-story home, the entire process—inspection, removal of old gutters, fabrication of new channels, and installation—usually takes one full day. Larger or multi-story properties may require an additional day. Our mobile roll-forming machine creates each section on-site, which speeds up installation while ensuring a perfect fit.
What materials do you offer for custom-fit gutters, and which is best for my home?
We install aluminum, copper, and galvalume (steel) gutters. Aluminum is the most popular and cost-effective, resists rust, and comes in many colors. Copper offers unmatched longevity and a distinctive patina but at a higher price point. Galvalume provides extra strength for homes facing heavy snow or debris loads. During your free consultation, we’ll inspect your roof pitch, tree cover, and aesthetic preferences to recommend the optimal material.
Can your gutter systems handle Tellico Plains’ heavy rain and occasional ice?
Yes. We size each channel based on roof square footage and local rainfall data. For Tellico Plains, we typically install 6-inch K-style or half-round gutters capable of moving up to 40% more water than standard 5-inch systems. We also add hidden hangers every 24 inches for extra load support and offer optional gutter guards to prevent ice dams by keeping debris out.
Do I need to replace my fascia or soffit when I replace my gutters?
Not always. If your fascia boards are solid and free of rot, we can attach the new gutters directly. However, if moisture from old, leaking gutters has damaged the wood, we’ll recommend replacement or metal cladding before installing your new system. Addressing fascia and soffit issues during gutter replacement prevents future failures and preserves your roof warranty.
What warranties and maintenance services do you provide?
Our custom-fit gutter systems come with a 20-year material warranty and a 5-year workmanship warranty. We also offer an annual maintenance plan that includes a spring and fall cleaning, inspection of fasteners, and sealant touch-ups. Homeowners who enroll in this plan receive discounted repair rates and priority scheduling during storm seasons.
