Answering your questions
Do I really need gutters on the Gulf Coast?
Short answer: yep. Mobile averages ~66” of rain a year—well above the U.S. average—so managing roof runoff protects your foundation, landscaping, and siding.
What size gutters do you recommend—5”, 6”, or 7”?
Most homes here do best with 6” K-style plus 3×4” downspouts because they handle our sudden, heavy downpours better than 5”. (6” systems move ~40–50% more water than 5”.) We’ll recommend a 6" or 7" based on the size, slope, and run lengths of your roof.
What about downspouts—2×3” vs 3×4” vs 4x5"?
Bigger is better in storm country. A 3×4” rectangular downspout can serve roughly ~1,200 sq ft of roof area per 1” of hourly rainfall vs ~600 sq ft for 2×3”. A 4×5” downspout increases that capacity even further — handling closer to ~1,800 sq ft per 1” of hourly rainfall. Translation: fewer overflows and more peace of mind during Gulf Coast downpours.
How much do seamless gutters cost?
Budgets vary with footage, material, number of stories, and add-ons (gutter guards, extra downspouts). Nationally, installs often land around $9–$19 per foot depending on material and finish, with typical full-home totals from ~$3,000–$7,500+. We’ll measure and give a firm, no-hassle, guaranteed quote.
How fast is the install?
Most homes wrap in a single day; larger/complex roofs can run 2–3 days. We’ll give you a clear schedule at estimate time.
What’s the difference between sectional and seamless?
Seamless aluminum is rolled on-site to your exact lengths, which means far fewer seams (aka fewer leak points) and a cleaner look. Sectional is cheaper DIY but has more joints to maintain.
Do you install “copper-look” gutters?
Yes! Copper-penny aluminum gives the warm copper vibe for less and stays copper-colored (it doesn’t patina like real copper). If you want real copper, we do that too.
Do gutter guards mean I never have to clean again?
Guards vastly reduce debris, they don’t eliminate maintenance. Around the Gulf Coast, our rainfall is high enough to self-clear the leafguards of leafs, pineneedles, and debris.
How do I know if I need new gutters vs a repair?
Common red flags: overflow during storms, sagging runs, peeling fascia paint, mildew near the slab, or erosion by downspouts. We’ll inspect and tell you honestly if a targeted repair will do.
Will seamless gutters help with standing water by my foundation?
They’re a big part of the fix—especially with correct downspout sizing and extensions. We’ll also look at grading and splash blocks to push water away from the slab. Foundation protection is a key value add of well-designed gutter systems, and in some cases we also recommend French drains, which we can install to further improve drainage and protect your home.
5” vs 6”: is the upgrade worth it on the Coast?
In heavy rain zones, yes more often than not. 6” K-style + 3×4” downspouts dramatically cut overflow on long runs and inside valleys. We’ll recommend a gutter capacity based on roof area, pitch, and downspout spacing. We typically advise against 5"-capacity gutters for homes on the Gulf Coast.
Do you match colors?
Absolutely. Aluminum comes in lots of baked-on finishes (including “copper penny”), so we can match trim or make the gutters disappear.
Do you handle permits?
Residential gutter swaps typically don’t need a permit, but if work affects the public right-of-way (drive aprons/curb & gutter) or a historic district, the City/County may require it. We confirm and handle any paperwork if needed.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes—and we’ll show proof at the estimate. (Always ask for this with any exterior contractor.)
Do you haul off the old gutters and clean up?
100%. We remove, dispose, and leave your site tidy. (You’d be amazed how many “budget” quotes skip disposal fees.)
Can you fix rotten fascia or soffit before installing?
Yes. We’ll flag any woodwork during your inspection and price repairs so your new gutter system has a solid anchor.
Do gutters add value to my home?
They protect curb appeal and help prevent water damage—exactly the kind of “invisible” upgrade buyers (and inspectors) like to see.
What areas do you service?
In Alabama: Mobile & Baldwin counties: Mobile, Daphne, Fairhope, Spanish Fort, Foley, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Bay Minette—and nearby. In Mississippi: Jackson, George, Harrison, and Greene Counties, including Biloxi, Pascagola, Gautier, Moss Point, Ocean Springs, and Vancleave. In Florida: Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties, including Pensacola, Cantonment, Gulf Breeze, Navarre, Pensacola Beach, Perdido Key, and Milton.
What should I expect at my estimate?
A quick roof/ground assessment, exact measurements, photos of any issues, and a written, itemized quote with options (5/6/7”, guards, extensions). No pressure—just details so you can decide.
