What gutter work looks like on West Ashley roofs.
West Ashley's live oaks drop leaves and moss year-round on the Avondale, Byrnes Downs and South Windermere streets, and the long single-story runs on a 1960s ranch mean one clogged downspout backs up forty feet of gutter. We install 6-inch seamless aluminum with micro-mesh guards as standard.
In the Church Creek basin and along the Ashley River flood streets, getting water away from the foundation matters more than anywhere else in the city, so downspout extensions and splash blocks are part of the gutter install. Carolina Bay two-stories usually need the 5-inch builder gutters upsized for the roof area.
Fascia comes first on the 1950s and 1960s ranches. Decades of oak leaves holding water in a South Windermere or Ashley Hall gutter rot the fascia board and the rafter tails behind it, and a new gutter hung 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, priced as its own line so the number makes sense.
Spring is oak tassel season in Avondale and Byrnes Downs, and tassels and pollen strands pack a gutter in a week even behind a standard screen. Micro-mesh handles the tassels; it does not fix a gutter undersized for the roof, so the install starts with 6-inch capacity and an added downspout at the inside corners where a Parkshore two-story concentrates several roof planes, and the guard goes on second.
