Gutter Solutions LLC installs residential gutters on homes across Southeast Georgia, sizing each roof plane on its own, matching the finish to your trim and planning where every downspout empties, so the water ends up well away from your foundation.
We walk the whole house before we quote.
Almond gutters we hung on a home where several roof sections meet.
A house is really several roofs. Walk around almost any home here and you will count three or four roof planes of different sizes and pitches: a steep main roof, a shallow porch roof, maybe a garage wing, and a valley where two slopes meet. Each plane empties into a different run, and the gutter under a valley can take far more water than the one over the front door.
So a residential gutter installation starts with a tape and a pitch gauge, not a price sheet. Each run gets the trough and outlets its own roof area calls for — a 6-inch K-style across a porch, a 7-inch where a two-story plane and a valley pour into the same corner — and is then roll-formed on site to its measured length.
Where an upper roof drains onto a lower one, the lower gutter carries both. We size that run for the combined area, and our gutter sizing guide shows the method step by step.
Southeast Georgia builds in a handful of recognizable ways. Each comes with its own gutter trouble, and a fairly predictable fix.
Original half-round swapped decades ago for a K-style that looks wrong from the street, often hung on fascia that has been soaking for years.
Back to half-round gutters for older homes, in aluminum or copper on brackets with round downspouts, with any soft wood rebuilt first — the usual approach for homes around Savannah and its squares.
Downspouts dropping two full stories, wind working at every strap, and salt air finding any low-grade fastener on the eave.
Straps set closer together down the full height of each drop, fasteners chosen for salt exposure, and hangers tightened up along the windward side.
Long, low eaves drained by a single outlet at one end, so the far end ponds — and downspouts that empty onto a slab patio or straight into the flower beds.
An extra outlet on the long runs, 3x4 downspouts and discharge turned away from the brick — a common fit for the older ranches around Statesboro and Brooklet.
Builder-grade 5-inch gutters and 2x3 downspouts under a two-story roof, overflowing at the inside corners in the first summer storm.
Upsizing to 6- or 7-inch with 3x4 downspouts where the upper roof lands — the typical upgrade in the newer subdivisions around Richmond Hill.
Pine straw that mats in the trough all year, oak leaves and tassels every spring, and Spanish moss riding the water down into the outlets.
Runs hung guard-ready, with micro-mesh gutter guards that keep needles out — worth fitting on wooded lots from rural Long County to Glennville and Reidsville.
Pre-finished aluminum comes in a wide range of baked-on colors. We bring physical samples and hold them against your fascia in daylight, because screen colors and printed charts are rarely true.
Most associations approve exterior colors in writing. Ask for the approved gutter and downspout colors before the estimate visit, and we will name the exact finish on the paperwork, so the approval request says precisely what is going on the house.
One of our downspouts emptying into a rain barrel instead of onto the slab.
A downspout emptying at the corner of the house puts a whole roof plane’s worth of water against the foundation in every storm. On a slab it undercuts the edge and floods the beds; on a crawlspace home it ends up as damp under the floor.
We place downspouts where they are least in the way — off walkways, drives, porch steps and the AC pad — and plan the discharge for each one: an extension to open lawn, a splash block where the ground falls away, or on flat lots underground drainage that carries it to a pop-up emitter well clear of the house.
New construction needs this most. A freshly graded lot washes out under a downspout long before the sod takes, and the builder’s splash block rarely points where the yard actually drains. Fast-growing Effingham County has plenty of it: the county manager put new-home permits there at about 600 a year in 2023.
Every downspout on your estimate gets one of these, chosen by how the ground falls and what sits below the drop.
| Option | Where it suits | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Downspout extension | Yards that already fall away from the house, with open lawn below the drop | Mowers and foot traffic knock it loose; a hinged extension flips up out of the way |
| Splash block | Short drops onto ground with a clear slope away from the wall | Moves water only a foot or two, so it does little on dead-flat lots |
| Buried downspout line | Flat lots, and drops that land beside walks, drives or planted beds | The pipe needs a steady fall and an outlet lower than the downspout it serves |
| Rain chain | Porches and entries where the look of the drop matters | Carries less than a closed downspout and splashes in hard rain, so it suits small roof areas |
A rain chain replaces a downspout rather than adding to one — our rain chain installation page covers where they work well.
Everything we find goes onto a written specification: trough size and profile per run, outlet count, downspout size, finish and discharge. If part of your existing system is sound, a cleaning and repair visit on those runs may be all they need, and the estimate will say so.
A new gutter is only finished when every downspout has somewhere sensible to send the water.

(912) 202-0537Usually by moving the outlet. A downspout that empties over steps, a walkway or a patio was simply put in the wrong place. We relocate the outlet along the run, add a second one if the run is long, and carry the water to a spot where it does no harm. On a new installation, that placement is planned before anything is cut.
Because each side drains a different amount of roof. A rear wall under a big main plane and a valley can collect far more water than the front porch, so on plenty of two-story homes the smaller planes get 6-inch runs and the heavy side gets a 7-inch with 3x4 downspouts. The sizes on your estimate come from your own roof, not a rule of thumb.
They remove the biggest source — roof water poured against the foundation — as long as every downspout discharges well away from the house. If the ground itself stays wet or the lot is dead flat, buried downspout lines or a French drain may be needed as well, and we will say so at the estimate rather than promise the gutters alone will fix it.
Paint first if you can. Hanging gutters on freshly painted, fully cured fascia means nobody has to cut in around new metal or lean ladders on a finished run. If the painters come later, pre-finished aluminum needs no paint — ask them to mask the gutters and downspouts rather than paint over the baked finish.
If the house sits under pines or oaks, fitting guards on installation day saves a second visit — and the new runs are hung ready for a guard either way. On an open lot with few trees, cleaning once or twice a year is often enough. You can see all gutter services and decide what the house actually needs.
Yes. Gutter Solutions LLC forms half-round in 6-, 7- and 8-inch, in aluminum or copper, hung on brackets with round downspouts to match. If the house is in a designated historic district, check with the local preservation office before changing a profile, since some districts review exterior changes.
We walk every side of the house, measure each roof plane, hold color samples to your trim and mark where each downspout should empty — then leave a written specification for you to decide on in your own time.
