Why Siding and Gutters Belong in One Plan
When we design both at once, we can:
- Install new fascia and drip edge before siding so gutters mount to solid wood
- Add kick-out flashing where roofs meet walls so water lands in the gutter, not behind the siding
- Choose gutter and trim colors that complement the siding
- Place downspouts where they look clean and drain effectively
Hardie Siding for Rankin County Homes
Fiber cement siding resists rot, insects and fire, stays stable in humidity and holds paint much longer than wood. Hardie lap, panel and shingle profiles can be mixed for a custom look, and factory-finished colors cut down on future painting.

Sizing Gutters for Heavy Mississippi Rain
Central Mississippi storms can drop a lot of water fast. We size gutters to the roof area and pitch:
- Seamless aluminum gutters formed on site, with no seams along the run to leak
- Wider gutters and larger downspouts on big or steep roof sections
- Hidden hangers spaced to carry heavy loads
- Downspout extensions or underground drains that carry water away from the foundation
On clay soils, moving water away from the house helps limit soil movement near the slab. Our post on larger gutters for Mississippi homes explains the sizing logic.

Why choose Tekton Exteriors for a Brandon exterior remodel?

How long does a siding and gutter project take?
Most homes take about one to three weeks for siding, with gutters installed at the end, often in a single day.
Do you handle storm damage to siding and gutters?
Yes. We inspect, document and repair or replace damaged siding and gutters, and provide a written scope for your insurance claim.
