South Florida's Hurricane-Ready Gutter Experts
Protecting 30+ communities across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties with hurricane-rated gutter systems. Luxury home specialists with expertise in salt-air corrosion protection and tropical storm response. Serving South Florida since 2000.
Why South Florida Homes Need Hurricane-Ready Gutters
South Florida's unique tropical environment demands specialized gutter solutions engineered for extreme conditions
Direct Hurricane Exposure
South Florida sits directly in "Hurricane Alley" along the Atlantic coast. The region has been devastated by major storms including Andrew (1992), which caused $26 billion in damage, and more recently Irma (2017), which affected millions across the tri-county area.
Standard gutter installations fail during major storms, leaving homes vulnerable to massive water intrusion. Our hurricane-rated systems feature:
- ✓Hidden hangers every 18" rated for 150+ mph Category 4 winds
- ✓Commercial-grade aluminum construction
- ✓Reinforced end caps and mitered corners
- ✓Structural fascia board connections
Salt Air Corrosion Protection
South Florida's entire coastline faces constant exposure to salt-laden air that accelerates metal corrosion. Properties on Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale Beach, Palm Beach, and all barrier islands face particularly aggressive conditions.
Standard aluminum gutters deteriorate 3-5 times faster in coastal South Florida. Our coastal protection solutions include:
- ✓Marine-grade aluminum (0.032" vs 0.027" standard)
- ✓Stainless steel fasteners and hidden hangers
- ✓Optional copper gutters for ultimate longevity
- ✓Extended coastal warranty protection
Tropical Downpours & Afternoon Thunderstorms
South Florida receives 60-65 inches of rain annually, often delivered in intense bursts. Daily afternoon thunderstorms can dump 2-4 inches of rain in just hours, overwhelming standard gutter systems.
Our high-capacity systems handle South Florida's extreme rainfall:
- ✓6-inch oversized gutters handle 22 inches/hour
- ✓3x4" oversized downspouts for rapid drainage
- ✓Proper slope prevents overflow during deluges
- ✓Extended drainage directs water away from foundations
High Humidity & Mold Prevention
South Florida's 70-90% humidity creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth. Gutters that hold even small amounts of standing water become breeding grounds for black mold, which can spread to fascia boards and home interiors.
Our mold prevention solutions include:
- ✓Proper pitch (¼ inch per 10 feet) prevents standing water
- ✓Antimicrobial coatings on all installations
- ✓Gutter guards prevent debris where moisture collects
- ✓Professional mold treatment in cleaning services

Common questions about gutter services in South Florida
How much do hurricane-rated gutters cost in South Florida?
Hurricane-rated seamless gutters in South Florida typically cost $12-22 per linear foot installed, depending on home height, material choice (standard vs marine-grade), and accessibility. Most South Florida homes require 150-250 linear feet, putting total project costs between $1,800-$5,500 for standard installations. Luxury homes in Miami Beach, Coral Gables, or Palm Beach requiring copper gutters or custom finishes may cost $35-60 per linear foot. We provide free on-site estimates with exact pricing.
Do I need special gutters for South Florida's salt air?
Yes, absolutely. Properties within 10 miles of the Atlantic coast face accelerated corrosion from salt-laden air. Standard aluminum gutters can deteriorate in just 5-7 years in coastal South Florida, compared to 20+ years inland. We recommend marine-grade aluminum (0.032" vs standard 0.027") with enhanced corrosion coating, stainless steel fasteners instead of zinc-plated, and optional copper gutters for oceanfront properties. Homes on Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale Beach, and Palm Beach especially benefit from our coastal-grade materials.
What wind rating do gutters need for South Florida hurricanes?
We install all South Florida gutters to withstand minimum 150 mph winds (Category 4 hurricane). This is achieved through hidden hangers every 18 inches (vs 36" industry standard), reinforced end caps and mitered corners, structural connections to fascia boards, and commercial-grade aluminum. Our systems have withstood multiple major storms including Andrew (1992), Irma (2017), and recent tropical systems. South Florida's building codes require hurricane-rated systems, and we exceed those standards.
How often should gutters be cleaned in South Florida?
Without gutter guards, South Florida homes typically need cleaning 3-4 times per year due to year-round debris from palm fronds, tropical vegetation, and daily thunderstorms washing debris into gutters. We recommend cleanings in late spring (after pollen season), mid-summer (when debris decomposes fastest in humidity), late fall (before peak hurricane season ends), and late winter. With our micro-mesh gutter guards installed, most homes need zero cleanings—we offer a lifetime clog-free guarantee.
Can you match gutters to my luxury South Florida home's aesthetic?
Yes. We offer over 30 standard colors plus custom color matching for luxury homes. Our factory-applied finishes are fade-resistant and backed by manufacturer warranties. For high-end properties in Coral Gables, Palm Beach, or Miami Beach, we can match specific architectural styles, offer copper gutters that develop beautiful patina, and provide half-round options for historic or Mediterranean-style homes. We work with architects and designers to ensure seamless integration.
Do you offer emergency gutter repair during hurricane season?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency response during active hurricane season (June-November) and after tropical systems impact South Florida. Our crews are staged throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties for rapid deployment following storms. We prioritize structural issues that could cause water damage to interiors. Contact us immediately post-storm for assessment—we typically respond within 24-48 hours, often same-day for urgent situations.
What's the best gutter guard for South Florida's palm trees?
We recommend micro-mesh gutter guards with surgical-grade stainless steel mesh for South Florida homes surrounded by palms. The fine mesh (typically 50 micron) blocks not only large palm fronds but also fine debris, tropical vegetation, and sand. The surface-tension design causes debris to wash off during South Florida's frequent afternoon thunderstorms. We guarantee these guards for life against clogging, and they're specifically tested for tropical climates.
How do you handle mold and mildew in South Florida's high humidity?
South Florida's 70-90% humidity creates ideal conditions for mold growth. Our cleaning service includes professional mold/mildew treatment using EPA-approved solutions. For new installations, we use antimicrobial coatings, ensure proper slope (¼ inch per 10 feet) to prevent standing water, and install gutter guards that prevent debris accumulation where moisture collects. We also recommend annual inspections to catch mold early before it spreads to fascia boards or home interiors.
