Roofing in Knoxville, TN
Gutters sized for Knoxville rain
Knoxville gets about 52 inches of rain a year. We form one-piece aluminum gutters on site, put downspouts where the water actually goes, and fix the fascia board before anything gets hung on it.

One piece, formed on site
A gutter formed on site to the exact length of your eave has no joints along the run to leak. 5-inch is the common residential size; 6-inch handles steeper or larger roofs.
Downspouts matter more than people think
Knoxville's 1991 to 2020 normal is 51.93 inches of rain a year (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knoxville,_Tennessee), and a lot of it comes in summer downpours. A gutter can only empty as fast as its downspouts. Where a big slope drains into one corner, we add a downspout or go larger, and we turn the water away from your foundation.
Fascia first
Gutters hang on the fascia board. If it's soft, the gutters pull loose within a season. We check it, replace what's rotten, and then hang the gutters.
Guards: an honest answer
Under big trees, guards usually pay for themselves, because leaves and pine needles fill gutters every fall. On a house open to the sky, they often aren't worth the money. We'll tell you which one you are and price it both ways.
With a roof, or on their own
Doing gutters the same week as a roof keeps the drip edge and the gutters working together, and we only set up once. We also do gutters on their own. See roof replacement or roof repair.
Gutter questions
Do I need gutter guards?
If big trees hang over your roof, usually yes, because leaves and pine needles clog gutters every fall and send water over the edge and toward your foundation. If your roof is open to the sky, guards often aren't worth the money. We'll tell you which you are at the inspection, and price the gutters with and without them.
Is the drone inspection really free?
Yes. There's no charge and nothing to sign. We fly your roof, take close-up photos of every slope, and go through them with you. The photos are yours whether you hire us or not. If your roof is in good shape, we'll tell you that and leave.
Can I just text you a photo?
Please do. Text a photo of the problem (the stain on the ceiling, the shingles in your yard, the spot you can see from the street) to (865) 830-8126 with your address. We'll text back what it looks like and whether someone needs to come out. It's the fastest way to find out if a problem is small.
