Wicker 6-Inch Gutters on a Three-Story Atlanta Home
Atlanta, GA
We replaced the gutter system on a three-story home in Atlanta. The old gutters came off, and new 6-inch K-style aluminum gutters, formed on site in a wicker finish, went back in the same locations. New 3×4 downspouts went in everywhere except the right side of the house, as the homeowner asked. The roofline also took miter cuts, roof cuts, splash blocks and elbows.
Height and a complicated roof
The old gutters and downspouts weren’t draining reliably, and on a house this tall, with a roof this complex, an overflow drops a long way onto the siding and the foundation. The height also meant extra safety gear and setup before any work started.
Wicker runs set in the old locations
We removed the old components, formed each new run on site to fit, and fastened and sealed every joint. The oversized 3×4 downspouts and splash blocks move water down and away faster than the old setup. All the high work was done with the safety setup a three-story roofline calls for.
