My wife and I are new to the Knoxville area and recently bought a beautiful home that we want to take really great care of. King's Construction fits the bill perfectly! Jonas was knowledgeable, friendly and did the job perfectly well. Booking was easy, response times were the best of all of the vendors I got quotes from, pricing was good and he had many skills that I'm looking for as a homeowner! I specifically had gutters cleaned but will definitely be calling back for more work to the exterior of my home. 10/10 recommend! -Matthew Dugger-
Complete Gutter Services
Water management starts at the roofline. Functional gutters collect thousands of gallons annually and direct them away from vulnerable areas around your home's perimeter.
Failed or inadequate gutters cause foundation settling, basement moisture, eroded landscaping, stained siding, and rotted fascia boards. We prevent these expensive problems with properly sized, correctly pitched gutter systems that handle East Tennessee rainfall.
Our gutter services address the full lifecycle—new installation for construction or replacement, repairs when sections fail, routine cleaning to maintain flow, and gutter guard installation to reduce maintenance burden.
Gutter Installation
Correctly installed gutters disappear into your roofline while performing critical work. Seamless aluminum gutters formed on-site eliminate most leak points. Proper sizing, pitch, and outlet placement ensure water moves efficiently even during heavy storms.
We specialize in 5-inch and 6-inch seamless aluminum systems with hidden hanger spacing calculated for your roof's square footage and local rainfall intensity. Larger homes with steep roof planes generate more water volume and require appropriately sized components.
What's Included in Our Installations
Gutter installation begins with measurement and planning. We calculate run lengths, identify optimal downspout locations based on grade and drainage patterns, and select hanger spacing that prevents sagging under load.
Our gutter machine creates seamless runs up to 50 feet, eliminating joints where leaks typically develop. Sections longer than that receive miter joints sealed with commercial-grade sealant that remains flexible through temperature extremes.
Hidden hangers attach directly to fascia boards at 24-inch intervals, supporting the gutter without visible hardware. Each hanger penetrates solid wood—never just fascia covering. This prevents pull-through failures during ice loading or when ladders lean against gutters.
Pitch matters more than most contractors acknowledge. Quarter-inch drop per ten feet moves water without creating visible slope. Too little pitch allows standing water and debris accumulation. Too much pitch looks wrong and concentrates flow at outlets.
Downspouts position strategically to move water away from foundations. We use 2x3 or 3x4 rectangular downspouts matched to gutter capacity. Elbows at top and bottom navigate wall offsets and direct discharge away from the structure. Extensions carry water at least six feet from the foundation, or we connect to underground drainage when that's the better solution.
End caps, miters, and outlets receive proper sealant application. Color-matched components blend with your home's trim. Before leaving, we test flow with water to verify proper function.
The Installation Process
Your gutter project starts with inspection and consultation. We examine fascia condition, measure roof areas that drain to each section, and identify any grading issues that affect placement.
After discussing material choices and colors, we schedule installation around weather. Rain delays gutter work because proper adhesion requires dry conditions.
On installation day, old gutters come down if you're replacing an existing system. Fascia damage gets repaired—rotted boards must be replaced before gutters can attach securely. New gutter runs get formed on-site from coil stock, ensuring seamless construction.
Hangers go up first, establishing the correct pitch. Gutter sections hang in place, outlets get cut and sealed, and downspouts get assembled and attached. We verify flow, clean up all debris, and show you how the system works.
Gutter Repair
Gutters fail in predictable ways. Seams separate, hangers pull loose, sections sag, and outlets leak. Most repairs cost a fraction of replacement and extend system life significantly.
We diagnose failure causes and fix the underlying problem, not just the symptom. A sagging gutter might need additional hangers, or it might indicate fascia rot requiring more extensive repair. We tell you what's really needed.
Common Repairs We Handle
Leaking seams are the most frequent problem we see. Sealant deteriorates over time, and joints open. We clean old sealant out, realign sections, and apply fresh commercial-grade gutter sealant that remains flexible in weather extremes.
Pulled hangers happen when fascia wood deteriorates or when hangers weren't installed into solid backing originally. We remove failed hangers, assess fascia condition, and reinstall with proper fasteners into sound wood. Additional hangers go in if spacing is inadequate.
Sagging sections result from improper pitch, inadequate hanger spacing, or accumulated debris weight. We re-establish correct pitch and add support where needed. Sometimes this means repositioning the entire run.
Separated corners at miters indicate movement or impact damage. We reseal joints and add structural support if necessary. Damaged downspouts get replaced—bent or crushed sections restrict flow and defeat the system's purpose.
Outlet failures create concentrated leaks that rot fascia rapidly. We cut out damaged outlets, patch the gutter run, and install new outlets in better locations if needed.
Gutter Cleaning
Debris accumulation is inevitable. Leaves, pine needles, shingle granules, and roof moss wash into gutters and settle. When gutters fill with organic material, water overflows and defeats the entire system.
Regular cleaning prevents clogs, eliminates mosquito breeding sites, and reveals developing problems before they cause damage. Most homes benefit from cleaning twice yearly—spring and fall—though properties with heavy tree coverage need more frequent attention.
What's Included in Cleaning Service
We remove all accumulated debris by hand and flush each gutter run with water to verify clear flow. Downspouts get cleared with water pressure or snake tools when clogs develop inside vertical sections.
During cleaning, we inspect hangers, seams, and pitch. Small problems get noted so you can address them before they worsen. If repairs are needed immediately, we provide on-site estimates.
Outlets and downspout connections receive particular attention because these transition points catch debris. We ensure screens remain secure and elbows haven't separated.
After cleaning, gutters and downspouts get tested with water to confirm unobstructed flow. Ground areas below downspouts get cleared of debris. You get a brief report noting any concerns discovered during service.
Gutter Guards
Gutter guards reduce cleaning frequency by preventing leaves and debris from entering the gutter channel. Various designs exist with different effectiveness levels depending on your specific situation.
We install several guard types based on roof type, tree coverage, and budget. No system eliminates maintenance completely, but quality guards can reduce cleaning frequency from twice yearly to once every two or three years.
What's Included in Cleaning Service
Micro-mesh screens use fine stainless steel mesh that blocks nearly all debris while allowing water to flow through. These guards handle high water volume well and work effectively on homes surrounded by trees. They're the most expensive option but deliver the best performance.
Perforated aluminum guards feature small holes that permit water entry while blocking larger debris. They cost less than micro-mesh and work well in moderate tree coverage. Small debris like pine needles can still enter, so occasional cleaning remains necessary.
Foam inserts fill the gutter channel with porous material that water penetrates while debris sits on top. These inserts cost least but require more frequent replacement and can trap small debris within the foam structure.
Reverse-curve guards use surface tension to guide water into the gutter while debris slides off the edge. These systems work best with lighter debris loads and may require professional installation due to roof integration.
We'll assess your property's specific conditions and recommend the guard type that makes sense for your situation and budget. Proper installation matters as much as guard selection—poorly installed guards create new problems while failing to prevent debris entry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size gutters do I need?
Most homes use 5-inch gutters with 2x3 downspouts. Larger homes, steep roof pitches, or areas with intense rainfall benefit from 6-inch gutters with 3x4 downspouts. We calculate roof area and pitch to determine the right sizing for your specific situation. Undersized gutters overflow during heavy rain, defeating their purpose.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Twice yearly works for most properties—once in spring after trees bloom and again in fall after leaves drop. Homes surrounded by pines need more frequent cleaning because pine needles accumulate constantly. If you see plants growing in your gutters or water overflowing during rain, you've waited too long.
Do gutter guards really work?
Quality guards reduce cleaning frequency significantly but don't eliminate it entirely. Micro-mesh systems perform best, blocking leaves while handling high water volume. Cheaper guards may create more problems than they solve if debris builds up on top and prevents water entry. We only install guards we'd put on our own homes.
Can you match my existing gutter color?
Seamless gutters come in standard colors that match most trim options. We stock white, brown, and several neutral tones. Custom colors are available with longer lead times. Exact matching to faded existing gutters isn't always possible, but we get close enough that differences aren't obvious from ground level.
Should downspouts drain to underground pipes?
That depends on your property's grading and local building codes. Underground drainage works beautifully when installed correctly but creates problems when pipes clog or collapse. Surface extensions work fine if they discharge far enough from the foundation and don't create erosion or standing water. We'll evaluate your situation and recommend the best approach.
How do I know if my fascia is damaged?
Soft spots, visible rot, or peeling paint indicate problems. Gutters pulling away from the house suggest fascia failure. We inspect fascia during every gutter consultation because attaching gutters to damaged wood wastes money. Fascia repair must happen before new gutters can install properly.
What's the difference between seamed and seamless gutters?
Seamed gutters come in sections joined together, creating leak points at every joint. Seamless gutters form from continuous coil stock with joints only at corners, dramatically reducing leak potential. Seamless costs slightly more but lasts longer and requires less maintenance. We install seamless systems exclusively for residential work..
