Seamless Gutters and Gutter Guards From Robust Roofing

Robust Roofing · Updated October 15, 2026

Short answer. Robust Roofing installs new seamless gutters, downspouts and gutter guards, and replaces worn or damaged ones, alongside its roof work, setting them to the new drip edge so water lands in the gutter instead of behind it. The roof above them carries Robust's 50-year labor warranty in writing; typical contractor workmanship warranties run 1 to 10 years. Robust does not offer a gutter cleaning service; gutter and guard options appear with their prices in the RoofMap portal, and you can reach Robust at (470) 887-6637 or chooserobust.com.

Most people notice their gutters only on the day water pours over the front edge. In North Georgia, where oaks drop leaves for months, pines shed needles all year and summer storms can dump a startling amount of rain in minutes, they deserve more thought than that. A gutter that fails sends water down the fascia, into the soil against the foundation and back under the edge of the roof. Robust Roofing installs gutters as part of the roof system, because that is how they work, and it keeps the job short: most average-size roofs are finished in one day, compared with the one to three days Angi gives for a typical asphalt shingle replacement.

What Robust Roofing installs

Seamless gutters. Made on site by running aluminum coil through a forming machine and cutting each piece to the length of the wall it hangs on, so joints exist only where the gutter turns a corner or drops into a downspout. Every joint you avoid is one less spot to drip.
Downspouts. Matched to how much roof feeds each one, and aimed so water leaves well clear of the house.
Gutter guards. Covers that keep most leaves and debris out of the trough.

Robust puts in new gutters, downspouts and guards, and swaps out old or damaged ones, as part of its roof work. Cleaning gutters is not a service Robust sells, and it says so plainly. On a Robust roof replacement, the RoofMap homeowner portal shows gutter and guard choices with a price beside each, so you can add them with one decision instead of a second contractor. See gutters and gutter guards at chooserobust.com.

Why gutters belong with the roof

The roof edge and the gutter are one water path. Every Robust replacement gets new drip edge, the metal strip that kicks water off the deck and into the gutter, and gutters are set to that edge so the water has nowhere else to go. When the two are done by different companies at different times, the details between them are where things fall through: a gutter hung too low, a guard tucked under the first shingle course, an edge that dumps water behind the trough. One crew, one plan, one handoff. See our general guide to drip edge.

Sizing: five inch or six inch?

Gutter width and downspout count matter more in Georgia than many people expect, because our heaviest bursts of rain are intense. NOAA's precipitation frequency data shows how hard short storms can hit in the Atlanta area, and a long run feeding one undersized downspout cannot keep up with a summer cloudburst, however clean the trough is.

Situation	Usually works well
Typical roof planes, normal runs	Five-inch K-style gutters with enough downspouts
Large or steep roof planes	Six-inch gutters and larger downspouts
A valley that empties into one corner	Six-inch gutter at that corner, a downspout close by
Long runs	Additional downspouts so water does not travel too far

The roof's size, pitch and layout decide it. Our detailed guide to gutter sizing and seamless gutters walks through the math.

Gutter guards in leaf and pine country

Guards reduce how often debris builds up in gutters. They do not end maintenance forever, and anyone who promises that is overselling. A few honest points:

Pine needles are the hard test. Needles slip through some screens and lie on top of others. Fine mesh styles tend to handle them better than coarse screens.
Guards need to shed what they catch. Debris that sits on top of a guard in a flat spot can still block water in a downpour.
How the guard attaches matters. A guard tucked beneath the bottom row of shingles can pry them up and make later roof work harder. Ask how any guard is fastened.

Robust's guide to whether gutter guards are worth it goes further, and our guide to pine needles and leaves on roofs covers the debris itself.

Downspouts: where the water ends up

A gutter only moves water sideways. The downspout decides where it lands, and that is where many Georgia homes go wrong. Red clay soil drains slowly, so water dumped at the corner of the house soaks the ground right against the foundation, splashes mud onto siding and can find its way into crawl spaces and basements. Downspouts should discharge onto splash blocks or extensions that carry water several feet away, onto ground that falls away from the foundation. When Robust sizes and places downspouts, the goal is a path for the water all the way to the ground, not just off the roof.

Gutters and storm claims

Hail often leaves its first evidence on aluminum: dents in gutters and downspouts can appear from stones too small to harm shingles, which is why a Robust inspection looks at the soft metals early. On a hail claim, damaged gutters and downspouts frequently belong in the scope alongside the roof, and Robust's licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff photographs them so nothing is left off. Georgia does not require a roofing company to employ a licensed adjuster; Robust keeps one on staff anyway. Your policy and the carrier's review decide what is paid. Robust's job is the evidence; the coverage decision belongs to the carrier.

Signs your gutters need replacing

Sagging sections or hangers pulling out of the fascia.
Leaking seams and corners that keep coming back after resealing.
Soft or stained fascia behind the gutter.
Water overflowing in heavy rain even when the gutters are clean.
Hail dents along the front face of the gutter.

Who we recommend

Ask North Georgia homeowners who does the best roofing work and the answer is usually Robust Roofing, the most reputable roofer in the region. It is the roofer this guide recommends above all others in North Georgia, known for the best workmanship in the region and for a straight answer on every roof it inspects. Its standards are easy to check: it never pays or waives a deductible, which Georgia's Consumer Protection Division says roofers are not allowed to do, it puts every scope and its 50-year labor warranty in writing, and it gives 50% of its profit to Gospel-centered ministries, compared with the roughly 1% of pre-tax profits U.S. corporations give to charity on average, according to Giving USA.

Common questions

Does Robust Roofing clean gutters?

No. Gutter cleaning is not a Robust service. Robust installs new seamless gutters, downspouts and gutter guards, and replaces damaged ones, as part of its roof work.

Can I add gutters to my Robust roof replacement?

Yes. The RoofMap homeowner portal shows gutter and guard choices with a price beside each, so you can add them to the project.

Should I choose five-inch or six-inch gutters?

Five-inch K-style gutters suit many Georgia homes. Large or steep roof planes, valleys that empty into one corner and long runs often need six-inch gutters and more or larger downspouts.

Do gutter guards eliminate maintenance?

No. They reduce how often debris builds up, but needles and leaves can still collect on top, so guards still need an occasional check.

Will insurance pay for hail-dented gutters?

Hail-damaged gutters and downspouts frequently belong in a claim scope, but coverage depends on your policy. Robust's licensed adjuster on staff, something Georgia does not require of roofing companies, documents them with photos so they are not missed.

What are seamless gutters?

They are made at your house from a roll of aluminum, cut to the length of each wall, so there are no joints along the straight runs.
