Gutters Built for How It Actually Rains Here
Middle Tennessee does not get gentle, steady rain. It gets three inches in ninety minutes on a July afternoon, then nothing for two weeks. That pattern is hard on gutter systems, and it is the reason so many Murfreesboro homes have gutters that technically exist but overflow every time it matters.
Undersized gutters, too few downspouts, and sectional systems with a seam every ten feet all fail the same way: water goes over the front edge, lands at the foundation, and does the exact damage the gutters were installed to prevent. Over a few seasons that shows up as erosion along the drip line, mulch washed into the yard, damp crawl space, and in older Rutherford County homes, settling.
We install seamless aluminum gutters formed on site with a portable roll former. The material comes off the truck as a coil and leaves as a single continuous piece the length of your run. The only joints in the entire system are at corners and downspout outlets — which is where the leaks were always going to start anyway, and where they can be properly sealed.
What’s included in a standard installation
On-site measurement
We measure every run, count the drainage area feeding into it, and size the system for the roof it’s actually attached to.
Tear-off & haul-away
Old gutters, hangers and downspouts removed and recycled. Fascia inspected for rot while it’s exposed.
Seamless forming
Gutters rolled on site to exact length. No mid-run seams, no factory lead time, no waiting.
Hidden hangers
Screwed into the fascia board every 24 inches. No exposed spikes to work loose and no visible hardware.
Correct pitch
Roughly a quarter inch of fall per ten feet toward each outlet, so runs drain fully instead of holding standing water.
Downspouts & extensions
Placed to move water away from the foundation, with extensions or underground tie-ins where grade requires it.
5-Inch or 6-Inch? Here’s How We Decide
Most gutter companies default to 5-inch because it’s what’s on the truck. Sizing should be a calculation, not a habit. Three factors drive it.
Drainage area
How many square feet of roof feed into one run. A long, steep slope dumping into a short gutter run needs more capacity than the square footage alone suggests.
Roof pitch
Steeper roofs move water faster and throw it further out from the edge. A 10/12 pitch needs more gutter capacity than a 4/12 covering identical square footage.
Tree cover
Heavy oak, maple or pine overhead means partial obstruction is the normal state. Six-inch gutters with 3×4 downspouts stay functional when 5-inch would already be backing up.

Gutter Material Options
| Material | Best For | Lifespan | Relative Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum (.027 gauge) | Budget-conscious standard installs | 15–20 yrs | $ |
| Aluminum (.032 gauge) | Most Murfreesboro homes — our default | 20–30 yrs | $$ |
| Galvanized steel | Heavy tree cover, impact resistance | 20–25 yrs | $$$ |
| Copper | Historic homes, architectural detail | 50+ yrs | $$$$$ |
We default to .032 gauge aluminum. The step up from .027 is small in cost and meaningful in dent resistance — which matters in a county that gets real hail.
Signs your current gutters need replacing rather than repairing
- Water spilling over the front edge during any moderate rain
- Visible sag in the middle of a run, or gutters pulling away from the fascia
- Rust, pinholes or split seams on sectional systems
- Erosion trenches, washed-out mulch or standing water along the foundation
- Peeling paint or rotted fascia and soffit behind the gutter line
- Damp crawl space or basement seepage after heavy rain
- Spike-and-ferrule hangers backing out of the fascia
What Installation Day Looks Like
Measure & quote
We measure every run, assess fascia condition and downspout placement, and leave you a written itemized estimate.
Tear-off
Old system comes down. Fascia gets inspected while it’s exposed — we flag any rot before covering it back up.
Form & hang
Gutters rolled on site to exact length, hung on hidden hangers at 24-inch spacing with correct pitch to each outlet.
Test & clean up
We run water through every run to confirm drainage, seal corners and outlets, and haul away all debris.

Gutter Installation FAQ — Murfreesboro
How much does gutter installation cost in Murfreesboro?
Most Murfreesboro homes need 150 to 200 linear feet of gutter. Seamless 5-inch aluminum typically runs $1,300 to $2,600 installed, and 6-inch runs $1,900 to $3,800. Two-story homes, steep roofs, and copper or steel materials push the number higher. Gutter guards are priced separately at $8 to $22 per foot.
How long does a gutter installation take?
A typical single-story Murfreesboro home is a one-day job. Two-story homes with complex rooflines occasionally run into a second day. Because seamless gutters are formed on site from coil stock, there is no lead time waiting on materials to be fabricated off site.
What size gutters do I need?
Five-inch handles most standard Murfreesboro homes. Six-inch is worth the upgrade if you have a large or steep roof area draining into a short run, heavy tree cover, or a history of gutters overflowing during hard summer downpours. Six-inch also pairs with 3×4 downspouts, which clog far less than the standard 2×3.
Do you install gutters on new construction?
Yes. We work with homeowners and builders throughout Rutherford County on new builds, additions and full exterior renovations. Scheduling around the rest of the trades is straightforward as long as we know the timeline.
What color options are available?
Aluminum coil comes in roughly two dozen baked-enamel colors. White, almond, musket brown, clay and bronze cover most Murfreesboro homes. We bring samples so you can hold them against your fascia, trim and brick before deciding.
Do you haul away the old gutters?
Yes. Tear-off, haul-off and cleanup are included in every replacement quote. Aluminum is recycled rather than landfilled.
