Savannah Roof Pros provides professional gutters & downspouts in Savannah, GA for residential and commercial properties across the Coastal Empire. Gutters are where the wrong choice shows fastest on an old Savannah house. The profile is visible from the street, it sits directly against the cornice, and on a protected building it is one of the details the review process pays attention to. It is not a commodity purchase here.
The distinction that matters is between half-round and K-style. Half-round gutter with round downspouts is what most nineteenth-century Savannah buildings were built with, usually in copper or galvanized steel, and it is what suits the boxed cornices and bracket detail on those houses. K-style aluminum, which is the default on nearly every quote in this market, is a mid-twentieth-century profile. On a Victorian it reads as wrong even to people who could not say why.
So we quote the two separately and let you decide. Half-round in copper costs a multiple of K-style aluminum and lasts several times as long, develops the patina everyone actually wants, and on a contributing building is what the board expects. On a post-war house, a rear elevation or anything outside the districts, K-style aluminum in a continuous run formed on site is a sound purchase, and we fit a great deal of it.
Forming on site matters whichever profile you choose. A run rolled to length on the truck has no joints along its length, and joints are where gutters leak, so a single-piece run to the corner is worth more than any coating or warranty on the metal. We hang on hidden hangers screwed into solid fascia at close spacing rather than on spikes, because Savannah fascia boards are often old, soft and have been nailed into before.
Sizing follows the rainfall pattern rather than habit. Close to half the year's precipitation falls between June and September, largely in short and heavy thunderstorms, so a gutter that copes with an average year overflows several times each summer. On steep roofs with long runs we go to six-inch gutter with larger outlets and add downspouts rather than accepting a specification that only works on paper.
Where the water goes afterward is the part most quotes ignore. Much of Chatham County sits barely above sea level with a high water table, so a downspout that simply discharges at the foundation is putting water somewhere the ground cannot take it. We extend to a suitable discharge point, tie into existing below-grade drainage where it is sound, and check that the run still falls the way it was hung before we call it finished.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — standing-seam and flat-lock terne metal with concealed clips, through-wall counterflashing let into lime mortar joints, half-round copper gutter with round downspouts, one-by-six board sheathing over open rafters, Certificate of Appropriateness submittals to the Historic District Board of Review, self-adhered high-temperature underlayment at eaves and valleys — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Savannah and nearby communities including Pooler, Garden City, Port Wentworth, Thunderbolt.

Materials, equipment and how we do gutters & downspouts
The difference between gutters & downspouts that lasts and gutters & downspouts that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with standing-seam and flat-lock terne metal with concealed clips, through-wall counterflashing let into lime mortar joints, half-round copper gutter with round downspouts, one-by-six board sheathing over open rafters, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Savannah job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Coastal Empire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
