Photo Album: K-Style Gutter Replacement in Atlanta, GA

Every gutter job starts with a careful inspection, and Ariel's visit to the Embry Hills home was no exception. James explained the situation: his existing K-Style gutters had a 5-inch opening, and whenever the rain came down hard, the water arrived faster than the gutters could handle it, leading to overflow and pooling near the foundation. To make matters more complicated, James had already hired another company to try to fix the issue, but the repair had been done poorly and hadn't solved a thing.   Ariel walked the roofline and took a closer look at the existing gutters and found that structurally, they were still holding up fine; this wasn't a case of worn-out, failing hardware. The real culprit was capacity. A 5-inch gutter opening just wasn't built to handle the runoff from a roof during a serious Georgia thunderstorm. Ariel's recommendation was straightforward: move up to the Gutter Shutter system's 6-inch gutters, which are wider and made of heavier-gauge aluminum than typical residential gutters. Given the previous contractor's failed repair attempt and the ongoing overflow issues, James agreed it made more sense to replace the whole system rather than continue patching a design that was never going to keep up.
