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 Salem 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 Salem
Salem is an unincorporated Lee County community between Opelika and Phenix City along U.S. 280 and 431, first settled in 1835 and spread over roughly 115 square miles. Local landmarks include Wacoochee Elementary School and the nearby NCAT asphalt test track.

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.
Who do I call about a roofing permit in Salem?
Salem is unincorporated, so Lee County Building Inspections handles permits there. Call 334-737-7014 and they will tell you whether your reroof needs one.
Has Salem had tornado damage?
Yes. NOAA records an EF2 tornado on February 28, 2009 that destroyed 4 site built homes and 6 mobile homes near Salem, and a weaker EF0 on May 3, 2025 near Wacoochee Elementary.
