Gutters for Marietta’s historic rooflines and mountain-side lots

Marietta is the county seat of Cobb County, recognized by the state in 1834 and built around the Square, where Glover Park still sits in the middle of town. Kilpatrick’s troops burned much of Marietta in November 1864, but the houses that came before and after give the city some of the most complicated rooflines in metro Atlanta. The Church Street and Cherokee Street Historic District alone covers about 76 acres of homes built from around 1843 to 1935: Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne towers and turrets, Folk Victorian cottages and Craftsman bungalows. Whitlock Avenue, Washington Avenue and Northwest Marietta have historic districts of their own. West of town, the land climbs toward Kennesaw Mountain, and newer neighborhoods sit on slopes where every storm sends water downhill.

Matthew Prewett owns The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Buckhead and West Atlanta and runs it from Thornton Road in Lithia Springs, a straight shot up to Marietta for our crews. Older Marietta houses rarely have one simple eave. Intersecting gables and roof valleys dump a lot of water into a short stretch of gutter, so we look at where each valley lands before we size anything. On those roofs, 6-inch gutters and a downspout placed near the valley usually fix the overflow for good. Every estimate is free and written.

Atlanta averages about 50.4 inches of rain a year (NOAA), with the wettest stretches in winter and summer. In Marietta that means slow, all-day rains from December into March, then summer thunderstorms that drop a lot of water in an hour. The big oaks along the historic streets drop leaves in fall and catkins in spring, pines add straw year round, and sweetgum balls roll into the corners. A clogged valley corner on a Queen Anne roof overflows right onto the porch. Our maintenance program times visits around the leaf drop and the spring pollen, so the corners stay clear.
