Memphis’ Premier Gutter Installation & Replacement Service

If your gutters are sagging, pulling away from your home, or showing visible cracks and rust, it’s time for new gutters. Memphis homeowners should pay special attention during our heavy summer thunderstorms when water might overflow or pool around your foundation. In neighborhoods like Midtown with mature oak trees or East Memphis with its abundant greenery, gutters can deteriorate faster due to debris buildup. Our city’s humid climate accelerates gutter damage, so watch for water stains on siding or mildew growth. Properly functioning gutters are essential protection against the Mid-South’s varying weather conditions, from spring storms to fall leaf shedding. Regular inspections, especially after severe weather common to Shelby County, can help determine if repair or replacement is needed.

For Memphis homes, aluminum gutters are the top choice for new installations due to their durability, rust resistance, and ability to handle the city’s variable weather patterns. Memphis experiences heavy rainfall during spring and summer storms, and aluminum efficiently manages this water volume while requiring minimal maintenance. Copper gutters are another excellent option that develop an attractive patina over time and offer exceptional longevity, though at a higher cost. Galvanized steel provides strength in areas with mature trees, while vinyl offers an economical alternative for budget-conscious homeowners. When selecting materials, Memphis residents should consider the city’s humid climate, seasonal storms, and their home’s architectural style.

Most professional gutter installations in Memphis are completed within a single day. However, installation time can vary depending on factors such as the size of your home, the complexity of your roof’s pitch, and seasonal weather conditions. Larger homes or those with unique architectural features common in Memphis neighborhoods may require additional time, potentially extending the project to two days for thorough installation. Our locally trained installation professionals work efficiently while ensuring quality craftsmanship for your custom gutter system.

At LeafFilter Memphis, we use Sherwin Williams’ Plastilure system for our custom gutter installations, allowing us to perfectly match the color of your existing gutters. This is especially important for Memphis homeowners who want to maintain their home’s curb appeal while upgrading their gutter system. Whether you have a traditional home in Midtown or a newer property in Cordova, our color-matching technology ensures a seamless look that complements your home’s exterior design.

Choosing the right gutter size for your Memphis home affects both performance and maintenance requirements. Most Memphis residences use 5-inch gutters, which handle typical rainfall. However, 6-inch gutters are often better for larger homes or those with steep roofs, especially important in our area where both summer thunderstorms and winter rain can be intense. The proper gutter size not only prevents overflow during Memphis’ heavy downpours but also impacts debris accumulation and cleaning frequency. Many homeowners find that during fall, when shedding trees create additional challenges, properly sized gutters make a significant difference. With Memphis experiencing all four seasons – from humid summers to leaf-heavy autumns – choosing the right gutter size is essential for protecting your home’s foundation and reducing the frequency of gutter maintenance throughout the year.

New gutters in Memphis typically require regular maintenance due to the city’s unique climate and foliage. Memphis homeowners face seasonal challenges with debris from oak, maple, elm, and sweetgum trees, along with the region’s high humidity and frequent spring thunderstorms. Standard gutters need cleaning 2-4 times annually, with additional inspections after major weather events. Maintenance includes removing leaves and debris, checking for proper water flow, inspecting for damage, and ensuring downspouts remain unclogged. However, gutter protection systems can significantly reduce these maintenance requirements by preventing common debris from entering gutters while still allowing water to flow properly. These systems are particularly beneficial for Memphis homes during fall leaf drop and spring pollen season, helping to protect homes from water damage throughout the year.

Yes, gutters can be installed on homes with steep or complex roofs. In Memphis, where we experience everything from heavy spring downpours to fall leaf accumulation, proper gutter systems are essential regardless of roof design. Our locally trained installation professionals customize gutter solutions to accommodate any roof pitch or architectural style found throughout Memphis neighborhoods. LeafFilter’s completely enclosed gutter system can be adapted to various roof configurations while ensuring clog-free gutters – guaranteed. This is particularly important for Memphis homeowners looking to protect their property from water damage without the ongoing maintenance of cleaning gutters multiple times per year.

Gutters protect your home by channeling rainwater away from your foundation, preventing water damage and structural issues. In Memphis, where we receive about 53 inches of annual rainfall with particularly heavy spring and fall downpours, properly functioning gutters are essential. Without effective gutters, water can pool around your home’s base, leading to foundation cracks that are especially problematic in Memphis’ clay-rich soil, which expands and contracts with moisture changes. This is a serious concern for homeowners in neighborhoods throughout Memphis, from Midtown to East Memphis and Germantown. Additionally, our proximity to the Mississippi River can contribute to drainage challenges during heavy storms, making functional gutters crucial for preventing basement flooding, soil erosion, and damage to siding and landscaping.

We offer a lifetime transferable warranty on all gutter installations for Memphis homeowners. This warranty covers both materials and workmanship, providing long-term protection for your investment against Memphis’ frequent heavy rains and seasonal storms. The warranty remains valid even if you sell your home, as it can be transferred to the new homeowner, adding value to your property.

Yes, we remove and dispose of old gutters as part of our installation process. In Memphis, where homes experience everything from heavy spring thunderstorms to autumn leaf fall from the city’s abundant oak and maple trees, our team ensures complete removal of existing gutters before installing new ones. This comprehensive approach is especially important for Memphis homeowners dealing with older gutter systems that may be rusted or damaged from the region’s humid subtropical climate. LeafFilter’s locally trained installation professionals handle the entire process, providing you with a custom gutter system designed specifically for your Memphis home.
