Size up to 6- or 7-inch
Much of the overflow we see on older homes comes from a 5-inch trough under a roof that needs more. A wider run cures it at the source.

Gutter Replacement When Repairs No Longer Hold
Gutter Solutions LLC replaces failing gutters across Southeast Georgia — stripping the old system, repairing the wood behind it and forming new seamless runs on site, sized properly this time. It is the better spend once a gutter is corroded through, too small for its roof or back on the ladder every season.
- Old gutters removed and hauled off
- Fascia and drip edge checked
- New runs formed on site
- Upsized where the roof needs it
- Water-tested before we go

Warning signs
Signs your gutters need replacing, not patching
One of these on its own is usually a repair. Several at once, on more than one side of the house, point to a system that has reached the end of its life.
- Rust through the bottom or pinholes you can see daylight through on old steel or galvanized runs.
- Seams sealed again and again on a sectional system where the joints reopen every season.
- Fascia gone soft behind the gutter, so hangers pull out as fast as they go in.
- Overflow from a clean gutter in every hard rain — the trough is simply too small for its roof.
- Sags that keep coming back within months of re-hanging, because nothing solid is left to hold.
- Water that never drains because the run was hung level, or pitched backward, from day one.
- Cracked miters and split end caps on older aluminum that has been dented and bent back too often.
- A patchwork of repairs from years of section-by-section fixes that no longer line up.
Not sure which side of the line you are on? Our guide to when repairs stop making sense walks through each symptom.

Repair or replace?
When gutter replacement beats another repair
Most gutter problems can be fixed. A loose hanger, a leaking corner or a low spot is a short job, and we would rather do that than sell you a new system — that is exactly what a visit for fixing a leaking or sagging gutter is for.
Replacement earns its keep when the failure is built into the system itself: metal corroded through, troughs too small for the roof above them, sectional joints that reopen however often they are sealed, fascia rotted behind the run, or a pitch that was wrong on the day it went up. None of those gets better with patching — each repair just moves the leak along.
- Corroded or pinholed metal
- Undersized for the roof
- Failing sectional joints
- Rotted fascia behind the run
- Pitch built in wrong
- Storm-bent runs
Decision table
Symptom, likely cause and what usually fixes it
The same judgment we make on site, set out for the problems we see most. The fascia and the metal still have to be checked by hand before anyone can be sure.
| What you see | Likely cause | Usually |
|---|---|---|
| One leaking corner | Failed sealant at the miter | Repair — reseal the miter |
| Sag between hangers | A loose or broken hanger | Repair — re-hang that stretch |
| Sag along the whole eave | Soft fascia, or spikes pulling out | Replace — rebuild fascia, then a new run |
| Overflow when clean | Undersized trough or too few outlets | Replace larger, or add outlets |
| Leaks at every joint | Aging sectional seams | Replace with seamless runs |
| Rust or pinholes | Metal corroded through | Replace |
| Standing water | A level or back-pitched run | Re-pitch if sound; replace if bent |
| Downspout off the wall | Broken straps or a clogged elbow | Repair — clear and re-strap |
Where only one or two runs fall on the replace side, we will price those runs on their own.
What replacement involves
From tear-off to water test, step by step
A replacement is a new installation with a demolition step in front of it — and the demolition is where hidden problems show up.
-
01
Assess and specify
We measure every run, probe the fascia and decide what gets replaced and what can stay. Sizes, profile, color and any wood repair are written down before you commit.
-
02
Tear-off and haul-away
Old gutters, hangers and downspouts come down carefully so the roof edge is not torn, then go onto our truck — nothing is left in a pile at the curb.
-
03
Fascia and drip edge
With the eave bare, soft boards are cut out and replaced — replacing rotted fascia boards is part of the same job — spike holes are filled and the drip edge is checked so water lands in the new trough.
-
04
New runs formed on site
Each run is roll-formed to its measured length at the house, exactly as in a new seamless gutter installation, so a straight wall is one piece with none of the old joints carried over.
-
05
Hung, pitched and drained
Hidden hangers go into sound wood, each run falls steadily to its outlets, 3x4 downspouts go where the roof needs them and discharge is turned away from the house.
-
06
Water test and clean-up
Every run is flushed with a hose, the yard is swept with a magnet, and you walk the finished job with us before we leave.

Sectional to seamless
Replacing sectional gutters with one-piece runs
Plenty of older homes here still carry sectional gutters — short lengths joined every ten feet or so with slip connectors and a bead of sealant. Southeast Georgia heat dries that sealant out, the metal grows and shrinks between hot afternoons and cooler nights, and the joints open one by one.
A seamless replacement removes every joint along a straight run. What remains are the corners, end caps and outlets, sealed fresh and easy to inspect. You can keep the profile you have or compare gutter profiles before choosing, and how the two compare covers the difference in more depth.
- Joints only at corners and outlets
- Fresh sealant at every miter
- Same profile, or an upgrade
- Finish matched to your trim

Upgrade while the eave is bare
Replacement is the right moment to fix the design
The old gutters are coming down anyway, and every one of these upgrades is simplest to add while the eave is open.
Questions
Gutter replacement questions, answered plainly
Still have a question? The quickest answer is a phone call, and we will talk it through with you.
(912) 202-0537Yes. If one or two runs are finished and the rest are sound, we can replace just those and match the profile and color as closely as the existing metal allows. Where the old runs have faded or are a different size, we will show you how the new sections will look beside them before you decide.
Every time — it is the most common surprise on a replacement. Years of overflow behind an old gutter rot the board it hangs on. Once the old run is off, we probe the full length, cut out soft sections and replace them, so the new hangers are screwed into sound wood rather than the same rot.
After, if the roof is due in the next year or so. Gutter Solutions LLC does not do roofing — everything we do is gutters, guards and drainage — but new shingles and drip edge change how the eave meets the gutter, and hanging new runs first means they get disturbed later. Share the roofer’s schedule and we will plan the gutter replacement to follow it.
They leave with us on the day. Old troughs, hangers, downspouts and straps are loaded straight onto the truck, the spike holes left in the fascia are filled, and the ground under the eave gets a magnet sweep for nails and screws.
Usually, if the old ones overflowed even when they were clean. Undersized troughs are one of the main reasons gutters get replaced at all, and moving from a 5-inch to a 6- or 7-inch run with 3x4 downspouts fixes the cause instead of the symptom. If size was never the problem, we will tell you so.
A typical house is torn off and re-guttered in one working day. Fascia repairs, a large or complicated roofline, or buried drainage added at the same time can stretch it to two, and your estimate will say which to expect.
Often, but not automatically. Old outlets were sometimes placed for convenience rather than drainage — emptying onto a walkway or against the foundation. We check each one and move or add outlets wherever the roof area or the ground below calls for it.

Where old gutters tend to give out first
Brunswick and the Golden Isles
Salt air off the marsh is hard on fasteners, thin coatings and cut edges, so island gutters often need replacing before their inland equivalents.
Gutters in Glynn CountySavannah’s older neighborhoods
Houses where a replacement is the chance to put half-round back, and fascia that has spent decades behind an overflowing gutter.
Gutters in Chatham CountyStatesboro and Brooklet
Older homes and rentals still wearing original, undersized gutters that overflow in every summer storm and get patched instead of fixed.

Farmhouses and outbuildings with long, simple roofs that outgrew the troughs first hung on them.
Gutters in Tattnall CountyOlder homes around Hazlehurst
About four in ten homes in the county went up before 1980, and on a house that age the fascia behind the gutter often needs repair before a new run can hang on it.
Gutters in Jeff Davis CountyBlackshear and Patterson
Hurricane Helene brought trees down across the county in 2024. A run bent by a falling limb rarely hangs true again, so storm-damaged sections are usually replaced rather than straightened.
