Builder-grade gutters may look acceptable when a home is new, but they are not always designed for the way a specific roof sheds water over time.
Common builder-grade gutter problems
- Not enough downspouts for the roof volume
- Runs that overflow during heavy rain
- Poor discharge locations
- Weak mounting or sagging sections
- Systems that clog quickly without protection
Why replacement may be smarter than repair
If the system is undersized, poorly laid out, or failing in multiple places, small repairs may not solve the core problem. A new seamless system can correct size, pitch, and downspout placement at the same time.
Our new gutter standard
Summerville Gutter installs new gutters starting at 6 inches and larger. The goal is better capacity for Lowcountry rain and better compatibility with gutter guard protection.
Existing gutter protection
If an existing 5-inch gutter is functioning properly, gutter guards may still be an option. We inspect first so guards are not installed over a failing system.
