Hurricane Season Starts June 1. Is Your Home Ready?
Northeast Florida storms bring 6+ inches of rain in a single afternoon. A properly designed gutter and drainage system is the difference between a dry foundation and $20,000 in water damage.
Why Florida Homes Fail in Hurricane Season
Most gutter systems in Northeast Florida weren't designed for the rainfall we actually get. A standard 5-inch gutter with two downspouts and splash blocks can't move the volume of water that comes off a 2,500 sq ft roof during a Florida thunderstorm — let alone a hurricane band.
When the system fails, water has nowhere to go but the foundation, the soffit, and the walls.
Common failure points we see every storm season:
- Undersized 5-inch gutters that overflow during heavy rain
- Splash blocks at downspouts — water pools right at the foundation
- No underground drainage to move water away from the house
- Sectional gutters that leak at every seam
- Cheap screw-through hangers that pull loose under the weight of rain + debris
What a Real Water-Management System Looks Like
We don't just install gutters. We engineer the complete water path from your roofline to 20 feet from your house.
- 6-inch K-style seamless gutters in 0.032 aluminum — sized for Florida rain volume
- Properly placed downspouts — calculated based on roof area, not guesswork
- Hidden hangers every 18 inches — holds up under saturated debris and wind load
- Sealed miters and end caps — no leaks where most cheap installs fail
- Underground drain lines (4-inch) — carry water away from the foundation
- Pop-up emitters — discharge water at safe distance from the foundation
- Premium micromesh gutter guards — keep the system flowing through leaf-drop and storm debris
This is the system that actually handles Northeast Florida weather.

Why Homeowners Choose Gutter Pro Over LeafFilter, A Plus, and GW Gutters
The cheaper quotes you'll get from national chains and budget local installers skip the work that actually protects your home:

Frequently Asked Questions
How much rain does a Florida hurricane actually drop?
A typical Northeast Florida hurricane band can bring 4–8 inches of rain in a few hours. Slow-moving systems can drop 12+ inches in a day. Most off-the-shelf gutter systems aren't sized for that volume.
Do I really need underground drainage?
If your downspouts discharge within 6 feet of your foundation, yes. Florida soil saturates fast, and water that pools near the house can crack slabs, rot wood, and find its way into walls.
How fast can you install before a storm?
We hold same-week and next-week slots through storm season. The earlier you book, the more flexibility you have.
Do you service my area?
We serve a 30-mile radius around downtown Jacksonville — including Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, St. Johns, Fleming Island, Orange Park, the Beaches, World Golf Village, St. Augustine, and Fernandina Beach.
What makes you different from cheaper installers?
We engineer the entire water path — gutter size, downspout count, underground drains, pop-up emitters — using 0.032 aluminum, hidden hangers, and sealed miters. Most cheap quotes skip the drainage and use lower-grade materials, which is why they fail in our climate.
