Why gutters matter in the Chattahoochee Valley
Heavy Georgia and Alabama downpours overwhelm undersized or clogged gutters fast, leading to fascia rot, foundation issues and roof-edge damage. We size, pitch and secure your gutters so water leaves the roof the way it should, and we tie the system into your roof the right way.
Signs your gutters need work
- Overflowing in heavy rain, even when they are clean.
- Sagging or pulling away from the fascia.
- Peeling paint or rot on the fascia boards behind them.
- Washed-out mulch or soil below the downspouts, or water near the foundation.
Seamless gutters for Auburn homes
Seamless aluminum gutters are formed on site to the exact length of each run, so there are no joints along the run to leak. We size them for the roof area that drains into them, pitch them so water does not sit, and place downspouts to carry water away from the foundation. If you are getting a new roof, it is the right time to replace tired gutters too.
Roofing in Auburn
Auburn is home to Auburn University, the city's largest employer, and grew from fewer than 5,000 residents in 1940 to 65,508 in 2020. That growth shows in the housing: Census estimates put the median home at 2001, with about half of homes built since 2000. Landmarks include Toomer's Corner downtown and Chewacla State Park.
Storms that have hit Auburn
On January 22, 2017 an EF0 tornado crossed I-85 near Beehive Road, peeled back half the roof of a mobile home and caused shingle damage to apartment buildings near Longleaf Drive before dissipating near the southwest edge of the Auburn University campus (NOAA). During Tropical Storm Zeta on October 29, 2020 the Auburn airport weather station (KAUO) recorded a 55 mph gust, with trees and power lines down across Lee County.

Common questions
How often should gutters be cleaned?
At least once or twice a year, more under heavy tree cover. Pine needles and oak leaves clog gutters quickly.
Are gutter guards worth it?
Under heavy tree cover they usually cut down cleaning a lot. No guard is maintenance-free, but a good one keeps most debris out.
Can you replace gutters without replacing my roof?
Yes. Gutters can be replaced on their own, and we check the drip edge and fascia at the same time.
Do I need a roofing permit in Auburn?
Auburn's Inspection Services Department lists roofing on its combined Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing/Gas and Roofing permit application, and you can reach the department at 334-501-3170.
Has Auburn had storm damage to roofs?
Yes. NOAA records an EF0 tornado on January 22, 2017 that damaged a mobile home roof and shingles on apartment buildings near Longleaf Drive, and Tropical Storm Zeta brought a 55 mph gust at the Auburn airport on October 29, 2020.
