Gutters in Summerville

Pine needles are the reason Summerville gutters fail. We install 6-inch seamless aluminum with micro-mesh guards that shed needles instead of trapping them.

Historic-district homes under the Central Avenue canopy get the heaviest debris load in town and often carry original half-round gutters; we match the profile so the Board of Architectural Review has nothing to object to. In Wescott Plantation and Legend Oaks the problem is usually undersized 5-inch builder gutters on a large two-story roof, and the fix is capacity.

Summerville's 1990s and 2000s subdivisions were built slab on grade in clay, and the gutter problem is at the ground. A downspout that dumps beside the slab in Legend Oaks or White Gables erodes a trench along the foundation and floods the pine straw bed that hides its outlet. We route discharge to a splash block that actually drains or to a buried line to the street, and we tell you where every outlet is so the landscaper does not bury it again.

Fascia comes first on the older streets. Decades of pine straw holding water in an Ashborough or Central Avenue gutter rots the fascia board and the ends of the rafter tails behind it, and a new gutter on that wood sags within a season. We open the edge, replace the rot, wrap the fascia in matching trim coil, and hang the gutter on solid material, with the fascia work priced as its own line.

Forty minutes up I-26 from Mount Pleasant. Summerville jobs dispatch on a scheduled route down Dorchester Road and 17A, with Ladson and Nexton on the same run.
