Gutters do one job, but it's an important one: they move water off your roof and away from your foundation, siding, and landscaping. When they're sized wrong, hung poorly, or clogged, that water ends up where you don't want it, in crawl spaces, behind fascia boards, or pooling next to the slab. In Augusta, where heavy summer downpours and pine straw are both facts of life, gutters take a beating from debris load and sudden volume. This category covers new gutter installation, seamless aluminum and copper systems, gutter guards, resealing and reseaming, downspout repair or rerouting, and fixing sagging or pulled-away sections after storms.
What to look for before you hire
Ask whether the contractor fabricates seamless gutters on-site with a portable machine, since seamless systems leak less than sectional ones. Check the gauge of aluminum they use (thicker is more resistant to denting and sagging under debris), how they space hangers, and whether they pitch the run correctly so water actually drains instead of standing. Get clarity on downspout placement relative to your grading, and ask what happens to the old gutters and fasteners. A written estimate should specify linear footage, material, color, and hanger type, not just a lump sum.
