Gutter Installation & Replacement in Knoxville, TN

If your gutters are sagging, leaking, or pulling away from your home, it’s time to consider replacement. Knoxville’s weather—from spring thunderstorms to humid summers—puts real stress on gutter systems. Over time, this wear can lead to water damage around your foundation, fascia, and landscaping.

Aluminum is the most popular choice for Knoxville gutter installations. It’s lightweight, resists rust, and handles East Tennessee’s humid climate and heavy rainfall well. Other options include vinyl, which can crack in temperature swings, steel, which is prone to rust, and copper, which offers durability at a higher cost. For most homes in the Knoxville area, aluminum provides solid performance at a reasonable price point.

Most professional gutter installations in Knoxville are completed in one day. Larger homes or properties with complex rooflines may require additional time. Factors like the total linear feet of gutters, the number of corners and downspouts, and your home’s height can all affect the timeline. Replacing an existing system may also take longer than a new installation.

LeafFilter uses Sherwin Williams Plastilure to match your existing gutter color or select a new shade that complements your home. This allows for a cohesive look that fits with Knoxville’s diverse architectural styles, from historic Sequoyah Hills to modern West Knoxville neighborhoods.

The right gutter size depends on your home’s roof area and local rainfall. In Knoxville, 6-inch gutters work well for most homes, handling our 47+ inches of annual rain and heavy spring and summer storms. Smaller homes under 1,500 square feet may do fine with 5-inch gutters, while larger roofs might benefit from 7-inch gutters to manage East Tennessee’s intense downpours.

Yes, new gutters require regular maintenance, including cleaning out debris and checking for clogs—typically 2-4 times per year in Knoxville. East Tennessee’s spring rains and fall foliage from oak and maple trees can cause debris to accumulate quickly. Installing a gutter guard system can help reduce maintenance needs by helping to prevent common debris from entering gutters.

Yes, gutters can be installed on virtually any roof type, including steep pitches and complex architectural designs. Knoxville homes feature everything from traditional ranch styles to Victorian-era architecture in neighborhoods like Old North Knoxville and Fourth and Gill. Professional installers adapt gutter systems to work with these diverse structures, using specialized mounting techniques for steep roofs and careful planning for complex rooflines with multiple valleys, dormers, or turrets to ensure proper water flow.

Gutters help protect your home by directing rainwater away from your foundation, walls, and landscaping. In Knoxville, where seasonal storms and heavy rainfall are common, properly functioning gutters are essential for helping prevent basement flooding, soil erosion, and structural damage.
