Gutter Contractor Software in Georgia

Rain does the everyday damage in Georgia, and where it goes matters. The red clay under metro Atlanta swells when it is wet and shrinks when it is dry, and a downspout that dumps beside the foundation moves the house. Downspout extensions and drainage are the first upsell in the trade and the one the customer thanks you for, and six-inch gutters with oversized downspouts are a normal spec, because the summer storms drop inches in an hour.

Storms do the rest. Helene crossed south Georgia on September 26 and 27, 2024 with winds up to 100 miles an hour and took gutters off with the trees from Valdosta to Augusta, and Atlanta hail dents aluminum most springs. After a storm the dents along the front face are among the first things an adjuster photographs, and a gutter company that documents them well ends up attached to a lot of roof claims. The hangers only hold if the fascia does, so a gutter company checks the fascia for rot and termites before it hangs a run.

The trees keep the work coming. Georgia is pine country, and pine needles slide through the guards made for leaves and pack the downspouts, while the oaks fill gutters in a few weeks each fall. Seamless aluminum in five and six inch K-style is nearly all of the residential work, formed on site from coil, and the work runs all year.

Georgia licenses general contracting over $2,500 and exempts the traditional specialty trades when they stay inside their trade, and a gutter company that hangs gutters is inside its trade. A company that also roofs is inside its trade too, since roofing is on the exempt list, and it carries the roofing law's five-day right to cancel and its ban on paying the deductible on every claim. Any sale made in the home carries the three-business-day right to cancel. The state minimum codes apply everywhere, and the metro counties enforce them.
