Why are split-level homes in Richland harder to gutter?
Split-level homes are harder to gutter because they have roofs at two or three heights that drain onto each other. On a typical Richland split-level, the upper roof empties onto the lower one. If the upper downspout simply ends above the lower shingles, it wears a stripe in them and overloads the lower gutter at one point.
The levels should be planned together: the upper downspout carried down to the lower gutter or to the ground, and the lower run sized for both roofs. Dun-Rite Seamless Gutters, Inc. evaluates that water flow during the estimate. Downspout options are on the custom downspouts page.
Should 40-year-old Richland gutters be repaired or replaced?
Forty-year-old gutters should usually be replaced, although a single bad section can still be repaired. Aluminum gutters last 20 to 30 years, and Richland's ranch and split-level homes date from the 1970s and 1980s. A section repair costs $150 to $600; full replacement starts at $1,200 and carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty on materials.

What do Richland's businesses along Highway 49 need?
Businesses along Highway 49 need gutters sized for big, simple metal roofs. Richland's stretch of the highway is lined with truck-service, warehouse and industrial buildings, and their roofs can shed thousands of gallons in one thunderstorm.
For those buildings Dun-Rite installs 7-inch and 8-inch gutters and 4x5 high-flow downspouts; see the commercial gutters page. Richland is one of five Rankin County cities on the service area list.
