Seamless metal gutters custom-formed on site, installed by the same crew that built your roof. One company. One warranty. One call when something goes wrong.
Gutters are not separate from the roof. They're the last six inches of the roofing system — the part where water transitions from the roof surface to a controlled drainage path. When the same company builds both, there's no gap in the system and no gap in the warranty.
When we install a metal roof and gutters together, the drip edge, the gutter apron, and the gutter itself are designed as one continuous water management system. The gutter pitch is calculated before the fascia trim goes on. The downspout locations are planned during the roof layout — not improvised afterward. And if anything fails in ten years, there's one phone number to call.
That's why we install gutters on every metal roof project we do — and why we offer standalone gutter installation and replacement for homeowners who already have a metal roof.
Nashville averages 49 inches of rainfall per year — roughly 30% more than the national average of 38 inches. That puts Nashville in the same rainfall category as Mobile, Alabama. And unlike Pacific Northwest cities that get steady, light drizzle, Nashville's rain arrives in heavy, concentrated bursts — spring thunderstorms that dump 2+ inches in an hour, summer downpours that overwhelm undersized gutters, and fall deluges that turn every roof into a waterfall.
May is the wettest month, averaging over 5 inches. But every month from November through May averages more than 3.5 inches. That's seven straight months of heavy rain — half the year.
And then there's ice. Winter Storm Fern in January 2026 reminded every Nashville homeowner what happens when frozen rain, melting ice, and refreezing water meet a gutter system that wasn't built for it. Gutters across the city were ripped off by ice weight and snow sliding off roofs. Fascia boards were torn clean off homes throughout Davidson County.
Most Nashville homes have 5-inch K-style gutters — the residential standard. But on roof planes longer than 30 feet, or on homes with steep pitches that accelerate water flow, 6-inch gutters with 3×4-inch downspouts are the better choice. They handle 40% more water volume. We size every gutter system to your specific roof geometry, not to a one-size-fits-all standard.
A gutter system that works in Tucson doesn't work in Nashville. The volume of water hitting a Nashville roof on a Tuesday afternoon in May would overwhelm most standard installations. We design every gutter run for the worst-case Nashville storm — not the average day.
Every gutter we install is seamless — custom-formed on site from a continuous coil to the exact length of your eave run. No joints. No seams mid-run. No leaks where sectional gutters would fail. Here's what we work with.
The most popular choice for Nashville homes. We use .032" aluminum exclusively — the heavier gauge resists denting and handles ice load better than the thinner .027" stock that most gutter companies default to
The best choice when you want your gutters to exactly match your metal roof panels — same manufacturer, same paint system, same warranty. We form these from the same Galvalume coil stock we use for roofing, so the color and texture match is perfect.
For historic Nashville homes — Belle Meade, Hillsboro Village, 12South — copper gutters are the authentic choice. The patina develops within 1–3 years and eventually matches the aged copper you see on downtown Nashville's oldest buildings. We solder all joints and use copper rivets — no caulk, no silicone, no shortcuts.
Nashville gutters come in two basic profiles, and the choice matters more than most people think.
For most Nashville homes, K-style gutters in 5" or 6" aluminum are the right answer — affordable, effective, and available in colors that match any metal roof. For historic neighborhoods, craftsman-style homes, or copper roof systems, half-round gutters are the correct architectural match and worth the premium.
A complete gutter replacement on a typical Nashville home runs $1,500 to $5,000 for aluminum, including removal of old gutters, new seamless gutters, downspouts, end caps, and cleanup. Larger homes, complex rooflines, and premium materials push that range higher.
Costs go up when your home has multiple stories (add $1–$3/ft for two-story work), complex rooflines with many corners and valleys, or rotted fascia that needs replacing before gutters can be hung. Fascia replacement runs $4–$22 per linear foot depending on material — and it's one of the most common hidden costs in gutter projects.
When you bundle gutters with a metal roof installation, the labor overlap saves you money. The crew is already on the roof and the staging is already set. Fascia condition is inspected during tear-off, not discovered as a surprise later. And the drip edge is installed with the gutter profile in mind — not the other way around. Typical savings: $300–$800 compared to hiring a separate gutter crew after the roof is done.
We measure every eave run, check fascia condition, assess roof pitch and surface area draining to each gutter run, and identify downspout locations that route water away from the foundation — not onto walkways, driveways, or the neighbor's property.
Based on your roof area and Nashville's rainfall intensity, we determine whether you need 5" or 6" gutters, 2×3" or 3×4" downspouts, and how many downspouts each run requires. Bigger roof = bigger gutter. Steeper pitch = faster water = bigger downspout.
Old gutters come down. We inspect the fascia board behind them — if it's rotted, soft, or pulling away, we replace it with primed or composite fascia before hanging anything new. No gutter system lasts on bad wood.
Our portable gutter machine rolls seamless runs from a continuous coil — custom-cut to the exact length of each eave. Gutters are hung with hidden hangers spaced every 24 inches (tighter in areas prone to ice load), pitched precisely toward downspouts.
Downspouts are routed to direct water at least 4 feet from the foundation. We install splash blocks or below-grade extensions where needed. Every downspout connection is sealed and riveted — not just friction-fit.
We run water through every gutter run to check pitch, flow, and drainage before we leave. You watch it work. If anything pools, overflows, or drips behind the fascia, we fix it on the spot.
Short answer: it depends on your trees.
If you have mature oaks, maples, sweetgums, or pines overhanging your roof, gutter guards can dramatically reduce the frequency of cleaning — from 2–4 times per year to once every few years. Nashville's fall leaf drop is dense and prolonged, and the spring pollen season fills gutters with a sticky film that traps everything else.
If your home has no significant tree canopy, gutter guards are an optional upgrade — nice to have, but not critical.
We install micro-mesh gutter guards that filter debris while allowing water to flow through at full volume. We don't install the cheap foam inserts, plastic snap-on covers, or brush-style guards that clog faster than open gutters. And we don't sell the $15,000 national-brand gutter guard systems with the aggressive TV commercials — those are overpriced for what they deliver.
Professional micro-mesh gutter guards run $15–$30 per linear foot installed on top of the gutter cost. For a typical Nashville home with 150 linear feet of gutter, that's $2,250–$4,500. It's a meaningful investment — but for homes surrounded by trees, it pays for itself in avoided cleaning costs and prevented clogs within 5–7 years.
A full gutter replacement on a typical Nashville home takes one day — sometimes less. Larger homes with complex rooflines or fascia repair may run into a second day. When gutters are part of a metal roof project, they go on during the final day of the roof installation with no additional scheduling needed.
Not always, but usually yes. During tear-off, old gutters typically get damaged or removed to access the eave edge. Even if they survive, the drip edge on a new metal roof is different from what was there before — the old gutter profile may not align. We recommend replacing gutters with the roof so everything is designed as one system. The labor savings of doing both at once usually offset the cost of new gutters.
Most Nashville homes work well with 5-inch K-style gutters and 2×3-inch downspouts. Homes with large roof areas, steep pitches, or long eave runs should step up to 6-inch gutters with 3×4-inch downspouts. We calculate the optimal size based on your specific roof geometry and Nashville's peak rainfall rate — not guesswork.
Push on it. If it gives, it's rotted. Common signs include peeling paint behind the gutters, visible staining or discoloration, gutters that sag or pull away from the house, and soft spots you can feel when pressing firmly. We inspect fascia as part of every gutter estimate and every roof installation — if it needs replacing, we'll show you and explain the cost before we proceed.
Yes. For aluminum gutters, we offer 30+ factory colors that cover most common metal roof colors. For galvanized steel gutters, we can form them from the same manufacturer's coil stock as your roof panels — an exact match in color, gloss, and texture. For copper, the gutter and the roof patina will age together naturally over time.
Without gutter guards: at least twice a year — once after fall leaf drop (November/December) and once after spring pollen season (April/May). Homes with heavy tree canopy should add a third cleaning in late summer. With micro-mesh gutter guards: once every 2–3 years for a surface rinse. Metal roofs shed debris faster than asphalt, which helps — you won't have shingle granules building up in the trough.
Across Nashville, snow and ice sliding off roofs ripped gutters clean off hundreds of homes. The weight of accumulated ice in the gutter trough — sometimes 100+ pounds per 10-foot section — pulled hangers out of the fascia. Homes with undersized hangers, rotted fascia, or gutters that hadn't been maintained were hit hardest. The fix is heavier-gauge gutters, hidden hangers at 24-inch spacing (not 36"), solid fascia, and snow guards on metal roofs above vulnerable gutter runs.
Yes. Our gutter installations carry a workmanship warranty that covers installation defects including leaks, pitch failure, and hanger failure. When gutters are installed as part of a metal roof project, they're covered under our comprehensive roof system warranty — one warranty for the entire water management system from ridge to downspout.
We'll measure your eaves, check your fascia, and give you a real number. Same-week estimates. No pressure.
