Gutters are the cheapest part of a house to get right and one of the most expensive to ignore. Water coming off a roof with nowhere to go ends up in the fascia, the siding, and eventually the foundation.
Seamless, cut on site
Sectional gutter from a big-box store comes in ten-foot lengths joined every ten feet, and every joint is a future leak. Seamless gutter is rolled from coil on site to the exact length of your run, so the only seams on the whole house are at the corners.
That is the standard we install, in a range of colors to match trim you already have.
Gutter repair and cleaning
Not every gutter problem needs new gutter.
- Repairs — resealing end caps and corners, re-hanging sagging sections, replacing damaged lengths, refastening pulled hangers, and correcting a run that was hung without enough fall to drain.
- Cleaning — clearing leaves and grit from the runs and flushing the downspouts. A gutter full of debris is a gutter that overflows behind the fascia, which is where the expensive damage starts.
- Downspout work — adding drops to a run that cannot keep up, or extending discharge away from the foundation.
If a repair will do, we will tell you. Replacing sound gutter is easy money and we would rather have the call again in five years.
Gutter guards
If you have pines or hardwoods over the house, guards are usually worth it — not because gutters stop working without them, but because cleaning a two-story gutter twice a year is either a Saturday you lose or a bill you pay.
Guards are priced on top of the gutter itself and go on the gutter run, not the downspouts. We quote them as a separate line so you can take them or leave them.
What drives the price
Seamless gutter is priced by the linear foot, with corners, downspouts and guards as their own lines. What moves the number is the footage of eave, how many corners the roofline has, how many downspouts the runs need, and whether the old gutter has to come down first.
Downspouts are sized to the run: one per run, and another for every 40 feet after that. A 60-foot run takes two, because one downspout cannot move that much water in a Midlands thunderstorm.
We measure and quote in writing. If you want a head start, our free roof measurement tool reads your eave footage from satellite imagery in about thirty seconds, so you know roughly what you are dealing with before anyone comes out.
Our warranty
A written warranty on every project
Every job we do comes with its own written warranty, set by the scope of the work and the materials that go into it, and you see it before any work starts — not after. It says what is covered, for how long, and what to do if something is wrong.
That is on top of whatever the manufacturer warrants on the product itself. Ask the next contractor you talk to for theirs in writing.
We live here
Precision Palmetto is based in Columbia. Our license is South Carolina, our number is an 803 number, and when you call it in three years somebody will answer. If we get something wrong, we are still here to put it right — which is a stronger guarantee than anything we could print on this page.

Common questions
Is your work warrantied?
Yes. Every project comes with a written warranty based on its scope and materials, and you get it before work starts. Manufacturer warranties on the products themselves are separate and passed on to you.
How much do new gutters cost?
Seamless gutter is priced by the linear foot, with corners, downspouts and guards quoted as separate lines. Footage, corners and tear-out are what move the number. We measure and quote in writing; our free roof measurement tool will estimate your eave footage from your address as a starting point.
What size gutter do I need?
Most Midlands homes are fine on standard residential gutter. Large or steep roofs that dump a lot of water quickly sometimes need oversized gutter or an extra downspout instead — we will tell you which when we measure.
How many downspouts does my house need?
One per run, plus another for every 40 feet beyond the first. A 60-foot run takes two. Undersizing downspouts is the most common reason a correctly sized gutter still overflows.
Are gutter guards worth it?
If you have trees over the roof, usually yes. If you do not, they are often money you can spend elsewhere. We will give you a straight answer for your house rather than adding them to every quote.
Can you match my existing gutter color?
Usually. Seamless gutter comes in a range of factory colors and we roll it on site, so matching existing trim is normally straightforward.
