What are seamless gutters and why are they better?

Seamless gutters are custom-made on-site to fit your home perfectly, with no seams except at corners and downspouts. This dramatically reduces leak points, improves appearance, and increases longevity compared to sectional gutters that leak at every seam joint.

How much do gutters cost in Atlanta?

Seamless gutter installation typically costs $6-$12 per linear foot depending on material (aluminum, copper, steel) and home height. Average homes (150-200 feet) range from $900-$2,400. Gutter guards add $7-$15 per linear foot. Hydroguard provides free estimates.

How often should gutters be cleaned?

In Atlanta, with our heavy tree coverage, gutters should be cleaned at minimum twice per year—spring and fall. Homes with overhanging trees may need quarterly cleaning. Gutter guards can reduce this frequency significantly.

Do gutter guards really work?

Yes. Quality gutter guards block leaves, pine needles, and debris while allowing water to flow through. While they don't eliminate all maintenance, they dramatically reduce cleaning frequency and prevent major clogs. We recommend professional-grade mesh or micro-mesh guards.

What size gutters do I need?

Most homes use 5-inch gutters, but homes with steep roofs, large surface areas, or heavy rainfall zones may need 6-inch gutters. We calculate gutter size based on roof area, pitch, and Atlanta's rainfall intensity to ensure adequate capacity.

How long do gutters last?

Aluminum seamless gutters last 20-30 years with proper maintenance. Copper gutters can last 50+ years. Lifespan depends on material quality, installation, climate exposure, and regular maintenance.

Can you match my existing gutter color?

Yes. We offer a wide range of colors to match your home's trim, siding, or roofline. Popular Atlanta choices include white, almond, brown, and various grays. We can also provide custom colors for specific architectural styles.

What causes gutters to overflow?

Overflow is typically caused by clogged downspouts, improper slope, undersized gutters for roof area, or damaged hangers causing sagging. We diagnose the root cause and provide permanent solutions rather than temporary fixes.
