Gutter Repair & Replacement in Austell, GA

“Cristian and iRoofer are great! And let me tell why. As you might already know a good percentage of commercial roofers either can’t handle the job, never get back to you or your job is too big or too small. Well Cristian is definitely the opposite. He’s very professional, courteous, punctual, organized and does a great job. He haggled with the insurance companies on my behave to get an honest settlement to get my commercial warehouse roofer back to 100%. This included matching the existing roof materials, siding, custom gutters and insulation. I would highly recommend Cristian & iRoofer. B. Grace / Southern Sky Home”
Gutters as foundation protection
The purpose of a gutter is not to keep your porch dry, it is to move roof water far enough from the structure that it does not saturate the soil around your footing. On an average home a single inch of rain puts well over a thousand gallons onto the roof, and every gallon of that is either carried clear or delivered to the perimeter. We size the runs for the roof area feeding them, add downspouts where one is doing the work of two, and — the part most often skipped — extend the discharge properly rather than emptying at the base of the wall.
Flood context for Austell homeowners
Cobb County has real flood history: the September 2009 event affected more than 1,600 homes countywide, and the county now participates in FEMA's Community Rating System at class 7, earning residents a 15% discount on NFIP flood insurance premiums. Gutters do not change your flood zone and no honest contractor will claim otherwise. What they do change is surface water management immediately around your house, which is worth doing properly and is entirely within your control. Floodplain development is regulated separately under the county code.
