Our Gutters & Accessories Services in New South Memphis
Seamless Gutters
Seamless aluminum gutters are the right choice for most New South Memphis homes, but installation here demands extra care. The original skip-sheathing and 1×6 board decking on pre-WWII shotguns and bungalows doesn’t provide consistent fastening, so we install a solid fascia board or structural hanger system before running the gutter machine. We replaced the mismatched galvanized gutters on a 1925 shotgun on South Parkway with 5-inch K-style seamless aluminum from GAF - paired with 3×4 downspouts to handle the volume - after inches of overflow had rotted the fascia and exposed original skip-sheathing beneath. That job took one day. The homeowner’s fascia was sound again, and the gutter capacity finally matched what Memphis spring storms deliver.
Downspout Repair
In New South Memphis’s 38106, where pre-WWII shotguns and bungalows with low-slope roofs dominate, gutter systems often lack adequate downspout capacity for heavy spring rains, causing overflow that saturates the original board sheathing and accelerates rot at the eaves. Most of these homes were built with 2×3 downspouts or simple splash blocks that can’t handle modern rainfall intensity. We upgrade to 3×4 rectangular downspouts on every replacement, and we route them to drain well away from the foundation - critical on these older lots where grading has settled over decades.
Fascia Repair
Fascia rot is epidemic in New South Memphis. Decades of leaf-clogged gutters against original 1×6 board decking have left many eaves soft enough to push a screwdriver through. We don’t just wrap it with aluminum and call it done. We cut out the damaged board, sister in pressure-treated or composite lumber where needed, and then install the gutter system properly fastened to sound material. This is standard on our jobs here, not an upsell.
Gutter Installation
New gutter installation in New South Memphis starts with an honest assessment of what the roof edge can support. On homes between South Parkway and Crump Boulevard, we frequently find two or three layers of old shingles over rotted decking, and we coordinate with our Gutters & Accessories team to address both roofline and drainage at once. We install products from GAF, CertainTeed, and Atlas - proper materials, no substitutions.
Gutter Guard
Gutter guards make sense for New South Memphis homeowners surrounded by mature oak and pecan canopies, but installation on old board decking requires a different approach. We use screw-mounted systems, not snap-in or adhesive types that pull loose from soft wood. Our guards are rated for the pollen, seed pods, and small debris that clog systems here in spring.
Gutter Repair
Repair calls in New South Memphis usually involve separated seams on old galvanized sections, hangers pulled from rotted fascia, or downspouts disconnected by ice weight. We repair what can be saved and tell you straight when replacement is the smarter spend. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every repair - if it’s not right, we make it right, no paperwork runaround.

Common Gutters & Accessories Problems We See in New South Memphis Homes
- Gutter overflow from undersized downspouts on low-pitch roofs during spring downpours. The 2:12 to 3:12 slopes common in 38106 shed water slowly, concentrating flow at the eaves. Original 2×3 downspouts back up within minutes of heavy rain. We upgrade to 3×4 rectangular downspouts as standard.
- Fascia rot from decades of leaf-clogged gutters against original 1×6 board decking. Moisture wicks directly into the end grain of old pine or cypress board. By the time paint peels, the damage is deep. We replace with pressure-treated or composite lumber and install proper drip edge to break the capillary path.
- Ice damming behind box gutters on north-facing slopes, pulling apart lead-coated copper flashing at chimney bases. New South Memphis’s low-slope roofs and humid winter air create freeze-thaw cycles that lift flashing. We see this repeatedly on the north sides of shotguns between South Parkway and Crump Boulevard, and we address it with ice-and-water shield and revised drainage paths.
- Detached or sagging gutters from hangers fastened into rotted or missing sheathing. Original skip-sheathing provides no nailing surface at all in some bays. We install structural fascia backing or specialized rafter-tail hangers that reach solid framing.

FAQs - Gutters & Accessories in New South Memphis
Your bungalow was built with 2×3 downspouts and gutters sized for lighter rainfall patterns, and the low 2:12 or 3:12 roof slope sheds water slowly, concentrating flow at the eaves. We upgrade to 5-inch K-style gutters with 3×4 downspouts on nearly every 38106 replacement. Call (844) 563-1816 for a free inspection - we’ll measure your actual flow and show you the difference.
Yes, but they require proper fastening into solid material, not the skip-sheathing gaps. We install structural fascia backing or rafter-tail hangers to give the gutter screws something to bite into. We’ve done this on dozens of South Parkway shotguns. The result holds up to ice load and wind.
Twice yearly - late fall after the oak and pecan drop, and early spring before Memphis storm season. Low-slope roofs shed debris slowly, so gutters clog faster than on steep pitches. If you’re on a fixed income or physically unable to climb, ask about our $89 Seasonal Tune-Up or gutter guard options.
We do, but only screw-mounted systems that fasten into solid fascia, not adhesive or snap-in types that fail when the wood softens. We inspect the fascia first and repair rot before guard installation. Guards on rotted board are a waste of money - we won’t install them that way.
Ice dams form on low-slope north faces when daytime melt refreezes at the cold gutter line, lifting shingles and backing water under the drip edge. New South Memphis’s humid winter air and poor attic ventilation on these old homes make this worse. We address it with ice-and-water shield, proper drip edge extension, and sometimes heat cable in chronic cases. Call (844) 563-1816 - we’ll trace the exact leak path.
