Gutters in Cane Bay

Nearly every Cane Bay home came with 5-inch builder gutters and no guards, and the loblolly pine left along the plantation edges in Lindera Preserve, Pine Hills and Old Rice Retreat fills them with needles that mat and hold water against the fascia. We install 6-inch seamless aluminum with micro-mesh guards, sized for a two-story roof area the builder gutter was never meant to carry.

On the low lots backing retention ponds in Sanctuary Cove and Waterside, where the yard already holds water after a hard rain, downspout extensions that carry water toward the pond and away from the slab are part of the install. A Del Webb one-story with a wide hip roof usually needs a downspout added at the corner the builder skipped.

The right time to replace Cane Bay gutters is with the roof. When the shingle comes off a Pine Hills or The Oaks two-story, the drip edge and the gutter apron are rebuilt together, the fascia behind a sagging builder gutter gets inspected while it is exposed, and the new gutter hangs on sound wood. Done as a separate job a year later, the crew is fighting the new roof edge. Gutters are priced as their own line in the written estimate either way.

Cane Bay's summer storms drop an inch of rain in twenty minutes, and a cut-up two-story roof in Lindera Preserve or Carolina Grove concentrates several roof planes into one inside corner. That corner needs a downspout of its own instead of a forty-foot run to the nearest one, and the ARC color list applies to gutters and downspouts as much as to shingle. We match the trim color and file it with the roof submission when both are on the order.

Forty-five minutes from Mount Pleasant up Interstate 26 and Highway 176 to the Cane Bay entrance, with Summerville, Goose Creek and Moncks Corner on the same Berkeley corridor dispatch run.
