The Gutter Shutter System Photo Album: Flowery Branch, GA Open K-Style Gutter Installation | RainDrop Gutter Guards
Rich and Deborah had grown increasingly frustrated with the performance of their gutter system on their two-story home in Flowery Branch, GA. Even during moderate rainfall, water would spill over the sides, cascading down near the foundation despite their downspouts being completely clear. It didn’t take long for them to realize this wasn’t a simple clogging issue; something deeper was going on. Suspecting the extended roof shingles might be disrupting water flow, they reached out to Gutter Shutter of Greater Atlanta for a professional evaluation.
When Rick arrived, his experience immediately came into play. He quickly identified a patchwork gutter system, metal screens in some areas, vinyl guards in others, and long stretches completely unprotected. This inconsistency, paired with aging materials, was preventing proper water management. Rick recommended replacing over 70 linear feet of outdated gutters with 6" Open K-Style Gutters, paired with the high-performance Raindrop Gutter Guard system. The upgrade created a seamless, efficient drainage solution, especially in problem areas where debris buildup had been a concern. With their new system in place, Rich and Deborah can finally enjoy peace of mind knowing their home is protected—and their days of constant gutter maintenance are behind them.
Metal gutter guards
As Rick walked the property, he noticed the multiple types of gutter protection (or lack of) that surrounded this home.
Vinyl gutter guards flaling apart
Using vinyl gutter guards is one of the least durable options. There is nothing that compares to Gutter Shutter RainDrop Guards. There strenght and durability are second to none.
Unprotected open K-style gutters
This section of the gutter was left unprotected and will allow for debris build-up.
Checking the under carrage
We inspected all of the soffit and fascia to ensure the gutters we install would be stable enough to withstand heavy wind & rain storms.
Down spouts needs proper installation
This downspout was improperly installed. The correct way is to have the water directed away from the foundation, not pointed under the porch. This allows for water build-up and future foundation water issues.
