Gutter installation and repair for Atlanta homes

Seamless gutters are formed on site from a coil of aluminum, so each run is one piece from corner to corner, with joints only at the corners and downspout outlets. Fewer joints mean fewer places to leak. We measure roof area and pitch to choose between 5 and 6 inch, space hidden hangers close enough to carry wet leaves, and pitch each run toward its downspout. Old gutters come down first, and soft fascia is replaced before the new ones go up.

Not every gutter needs replacing, even when it looks rough. A sagging run can often be re-hung on new hidden hangers driven into sound fascia, leaking corners resealed, and a run that holds water re-pitched toward the downspout. We check the fascia first, because a hanger screwed into rotted wood pulls out in the next storm. If the gutter itself is bent from a ladder, a limb or hail, we replace that section with a matching profile rather than trying to straighten it.

A gutter only moves water as far as the downspout, and most drainage problems start at the bottom. We size downspouts to the gutter, add outlets on long runs, and make sure water leaves several feet from the foundation through extensions or splash blocks. Where water still pools or runs toward the house, we can tie downspouts into existing drain lines or tell you when grading is the real fix. Clogged elbows are cleared and tested with a hose before we leave.
