Gutters in Walterboro

Walterboro's pines and the pecans and oaks along Hampton Street and Wichman Street fill gutters year-round, and a long single-story run on a Forest Hills or Ireland Creek ranch means one clogged downspout backs up the whole side of the house. We install 6-inch seamless aluminum and recommend micro-mesh guards, and a wraparound porch on a Historic District home gets a half-round profile if the district asks for it.

On the Ireland Creek and Great Swamp sides, where the ground stays wet after a hard rain, getting water away from a low crawlspace ranch matters more than the gutter itself, so downspout extensions and splash blocks are part of the install. Rural lots off Sniders Highway often need gutters on a barn or shed roof that sheds onto the house side.

Walterboro's historic wraparound porches shed a lot of roof onto a low-slope porch that then has to carry it to a gutter at the porch edge, and a single downspout at one corner of a Hampton Street porch cannot keep up. We add downspouts at the corners the porch drains to, in a half-round profile where the district asks for it, and route discharge past the brick piers to ground that drains.

Fascia comes first on the 1960s ranches. Decades of pine straw and pecan leaves holding water in a Forest Hills gutter rot the fascia board behind it, and a new gutter hung on soft wood sags within a season. We probe the run, replace what is soft, wrap the fascia in matching trim coil, and hang the gutter on solid material, with the fascia work priced as its own line so an owner knows what was done on a visit an hour from our office.

Sixty minutes from Mount Pleasant out Highway 17 and Highway 64 or down Interstate 95 to the Bells Highway exit, the longest run on our map, so Walterboro jobs are scheduled from your photos and grouped with Hollywood, Ravenel and Summerville dispatches.
