Seamless gutters built for Memphis rain, Shelby County trees and West Tennessee clay.
Memphis gets more than fifty inches of rain a year, most of it in hard bursts. Under big oaks and sweetgums, clogged and undersized gutters spill that water right where it does the most damage: your fascia, your foundation and your basement walls.

Why gutters matter more in the Mid-South
The soil across most of Shelby County and Fayette County is fine silt and clay. It swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries out, and that movement is what cracks foundations and brick. The single best thing a homeowner can do about it is keep roof water away from the house, and that’s the gutter’s job.
Mature neighborhoods in Germantown, Collierville, Midtown and East Memphis add a second problem: leaves, sweetgum balls and pine needles. A gutter that’s clogged by November overflows all winter, and when an ice storm hits, the weight of the ice in a full gutter can pull it off the house.

How we install gutters
- Seamless aluminum, rolled on site to the exact length of each run, so there are no seams to leak along the straight sections.
- Six-inch gutters where they’re needed. Large and steep roof sections, valleys that dump into one corner, and long runs on two-story homes get six-inch gutters with oversized downspouts.
- Hidden hangers screwed into solid fascia at close spacing, strong enough for a load of ice and wet leaves.
- Rotten wood fixed first. Our carpentry crew replaces soft fascia and it’s painted before a new gutter is hung on it.
- Downspouts aimed away from the foundation, with extensions, splash blocks, or a tie-in to an underground drain that actually flows.

Gutter guards for tree-covered lots
If you have trees over your roof, guards are usually worth it. They keep leaves out, keep water moving in the winter, and save you from cleaning gutters on a ladder. We install guards that sit under the first row of shingles or on the gutter lip depending on your roof, and we’ll show you the difference on the first visit.

After a hail or wind storm
Dented gutters and downspouts are one of the clearest signs of hail an adjuster can see. When we inspect a roof after a storm in Arlington, Bartlett or Cordova, we document the gutters, downspouts, siding and roof together so nothing gets left out of the claim.
FAQ
Questions Memphis homeowners ask
Do I need six-inch gutters?
Many Memphis-area homes do, especially two-story homes, steep roofs and roof sections where a valley dumps into one corner. We measure each run and size it accordingly rather than putting one size on the whole house.
Are gutter guards worth it?
On a lot with trees over the roof, usually yes. If your trees are well away from the house, often not. We’ll give you an honest recommendation.
Do you fix rotten fascia before installing gutters?
Yes. The wood has to be solid and painted before a new gutter goes on, or it won’t stay. We photograph any rot and show you before the work starts.
How long does installation take?
Most homes in Arlington, Bartlett and the rest of Shelby County are finished in one day. Fascia repairs can add a day.
