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 Fortson 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.

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.
