Planning Gutters Around Tupelo Homes
Older homes often have long eaves, steep gables and old fascia that needs work before new gutters go up. Newer homes usually have complex rooflines with several valleys that send a lot of water into a few corners. In both cases we size gutters and outlets to match where the water actually comes off the roof, and we form seamless aluminum gutters to fit each run.
Gutter Guard Types Compared
Micro-mesh
Micro-mesh gutter guards use a fine stainless mesh over a rigid frame. They block leaves, pine needles and shingle grit, and they're the most versatile choice for mixed tree cover.
Perforated screens
Lower cost, and fine for large leaves. Pine needles and seeds can get stuck in the holes.
Reverse-curve hoods
Water follows a curved lip into the gutter while leaves slide off. They work well under broadleaf trees but can overshoot in very heavy rain.
Foam and brush inserts
Easy to install, but they hold debris and need to be cleaned out. We generally don't recommend them.

Installation Done Right
Guards only work on a sound gutter. We replace soft fascia, add drip edge, hang gutters with hidden hangers and the correct pitch, and route downspouts away from the slab. Then we fit gutter guards so they sit under the shingle edge without lifting it.
Cleaning and Repair Services
We clean out clogged systems, reseal leaks, re-pitch runs that hold water and replace storm-damaged sections. After spring hail, it's worth having gutters checked along with the roof. Our Tupelo storm damage repair team can document the damage.

Common Questions
How often should gutters be cleaned in Tupelo?
Twice a year for most homes. Lots with large oaks, pines or sweetgums often need cleaning more often unless guards are installed.
What are the advantages of seamless gutters?
Far fewer leak points, a cleaner look and better strength over long runs. They're also easier to fit with guards than older sectional systems.
Can gutter guards eliminate cleaning?
Micro-mesh guards prevent most clogs. A light brushing of the guard surface may be needed occasionally, but you won't be scooping out packed gutters.
Do you offer gutter repairs?
Yes. We repair leaks, sagging, damaged sections and downspouts, and we replace fascia when it has rotted behind the gutter.
How long does gutter installation take?
Most Tupelo homes are done in one day. Guards, fascia repairs or a large roof may add a few hours or a second day.
