Fascia on 1960s houses
Inside Alma the median house was built in 1965, and more than eight in ten predate 1980. Old boards behind old gutters are often soft, so we replace them before new hangers go in.

Pine straw in Alma
Rhino leaf guards built for Alma’s pine straw
A quarter of Bacon County’s soil is poorly drained Pelham ground, where the native cover runs to slash, loblolly and longleaf pine. Their needles come down through the year, stand on end in the outlets and weave into a wet mat.
A Rhino leaf guard is a stiff metal micro-mesh that covers the gutter. Needles and leaves stay on top and dry out while rain runs through. We fit them to new seamless gutters or to existing runs that are straight and sound.
- Metal micro-mesh, not plastic screen
- Outlets and elbows cleared first
- Fitted to new or sound gutters
- Downspouts flushed and tested
Warning signs
How an Alma gutter tells you it is full
Most of these show from the yard, before water reaches the fascia.
- Water sheeting over the front edge in an ordinary shower, not only a cloudburst.
- A downspout that stays quiet while it rains, because the elbow is packed.
- Seedlings along the roofline rooted in a needle mat that never dries.
- A run that dips between hangers under the weight of wet straw.
- Needles poking through an old screen or packed into a foam insert.
- Dark streaks on the fascia where water has been running behind the gutter.

Beyond the guard
What else an Alma roofline needs besides a guard
A guard only works on a gutter that is hung right and drains somewhere sensible. These are the Bacon County specifics we check on the same visit.
Communities
From downtown Alma out to New Lacy
Alma
County seatThe 1919 courthouse downtown, and older neighborhoods where the county plan notes some houses need repair. Expect a fascia check before anything new is hung.
Lake Lure
Northwest AlmaThe newer neighborhood growing around the lake. Builder gutters on newer houses, here and in the WilderNest subdivision, are worth measuring against the roof they drain.
Blueberry Plantation
Golf communityHomes around a course built on wetlands, with water on 40% of its holes. Ground this wet is where buried downspout lines and pop-up outlets earn their keep.
New Lacy
East of AlmaWhere the January 2015 tornado ended after crossing GA 32 and Ten Mile Creek, destroying two mobile homes. Anything loose becomes a lever in a gust, so downspouts get strapped to the wall.

Questions
Questions from Alma and around Bacon County
Still have a question? The quickest answer is a phone call, and we will talk it through with you.
(912) 202-0537Leaf guard is simply the everyday name for any cover that keeps debris out of a gutter. The Rhino guard we fit is a metal micro-mesh fine enough to stop pine needles, which is what matters in Alma, and it stops leaves as well.
The county’s 2022 plan says unincorporated Bacon County has no land-use regulations or zoning, while the City of Alma does have zoning. If you are inside the city limits and want to be sure, ask City Hall before work starts.
NOAA’s 1991–2020 normal at the Alma airport, a full-length record, is 44.80 inches a year. August is the wettest month at 5.37 inches, and about 13 days a year bring an inch or more. We size troughs and downspouts for those downpours, not the yearly total.
Yes. Downtown has National Register buildings such as the Rabinowitz Building on West 11th Street and the old depot. A flat-fronted commercial building usually suits a 7-inch box profile with larger downspouts, and we match an existing profile where a restoration calls for it.
They do. The July 2014 fire along Bennett Still Highway burned about 600 acres and threatened a dozen homes. Dry needles packed in a gutter sit right at the roof edge, so a guard, or a cleaning before a dry spell, keeps that fuel off the house.
