Grand Strand's Hurricane-Ready Gutter Experts
Protecting 31+ coastal communities with hurricane-rated gutter systems. Vacation rental property specialists with expertise in salt-air corrosion protection and emergency storm response. Serving the Grand Strand since 2000.
Why Grand Strand Homes Need Hurricane-Ready Gutters
The Grand Strand's beach location creates unique challenges that demand specialized coastal solutions
Direct Hurricane Exposure
Myrtle Beach sits on South Carolina's most exposed stretch of coastline, directly in the path of Atlantic hurricanes. The area has been impacted by numerous major storms including Hugo (1989), Floyd (1999), Matthew (2016), Florence (2018), and Ian (2022).
Hurricane Florence dumped over 23 inches of rain on some Grand Strand areas, causing catastrophic flooding. Our hurricane-rated systems are built for these extreme conditions:
- ✓Hidden hangers every 18" rated for 120+ mph winds
- ✓6-inch gutters handle 7+ inches of rainfall per hour
- ✓Reinforced end caps and structural connections
- ✓Emergency repair response during active storms
Salt Air & Sand Corrosion
Oceanfront and near-beach properties face constant assault from salt-laden air and wind-blown sand. Standard aluminum gutters can deteriorate in just 5-7 years on the Grand Strand, compared to 20+ years for inland homes.
Our coastal protection solutions extend gutter lifespan dramatically:
- ✓Marine-grade aluminum with enhanced corrosion coating
- ✓Stainless steel fasteners and hangers
- ✓Optional copper gutters for ultimate coastal longevity
- ✓Extended coastal warranty protection
Vacation Rental Property Management
The Grand Strand is one of America's top vacation destinations, with thousands of rental condos, beach houses, and investment properties. These properties face unique challenges—high occupancy rates mean maintenance must be efficient and non-disruptive.
Our vacation rental services include:
- ✓Flexible scheduling around guest bookings
- ✓Property manager coordination and reporting
- ✓Annual maintenance programs with off-season discounts
- ✓Multi-property volume pricing
Golf Course Community Expertise
The Grand Strand boasts over 100 golf courses, and thousands of homes are located within golf communities like Barefoot Landing, Grande Dunes, Legends, and Tidewater. These properties often have HOA requirements for exterior appearance and maintenance.
Our golf community services include:
- ✓HOA-compliant color matching and styles
- ✓Community-wide service programs
- ✓Documentation for architectural review boards
- ✓Landscape-conscious installation
Grand Strand Flooding Reality
The Grand Strand's flat terrain and high water table make flooding a constant concern. Many areas are just feet above sea level, and king tides can flood streets even without rain. Hurricane Florence's historic flooding demonstrated how quickly drainage systems can be overwhelmed—some areas received over 23 inches of rain in just days.
Proper gutter systems with extended downspouts are critical for Grand Strand properties. We install drainage extensions that direct water away from foundations and can connect to underground systems to manage extreme rainfall events. For flood-prone areas, we also offer rain barrel integration and French drain connections.

Common questions about gutter services in Myrtle Beach & the Grand Strand
How much do hurricane-rated gutters cost in Myrtle Beach?
Hurricane-rated seamless gutters in Myrtle Beach typically cost $12-22 per linear foot installed for aluminum, including hidden hangers every 18 inches for wind resistance. Most Grand Strand homes require 150-250 linear feet, putting total project costs between $1,800-$5,500. Oceanfront properties requiring marine-grade materials may cost 15-20% more. Vacation rental properties often qualify for multi-property discounts.
How do I protect my Myrtle Beach vacation rental gutters?
Vacation rentals on the Grand Strand benefit most from micro-mesh gutter guards with our lifetime clog-free guarantee. This eliminates the need for regular cleanings between guest stays. We also offer annual maintenance programs with flexible scheduling around peak rental seasons (summer and golf season), pre-hurricane inspections, and property manager coordination. Many rental property owners protect multiple properties with our volume discount programs.
What wind rating do gutters need for Grand Strand hurricanes?
We install all Myrtle Beach area gutters to withstand minimum 120 mph winds (Category 3 hurricane). This is critical for the Grand Strand, which sits on South Carolina's most exposed stretch of coastline. Our hurricane-rated systems feature hidden hangers every 18 inches, reinforced end caps, 6-inch high-capacity gutters, and structural connections. These systems have proven effective during Matthew (2016), Florence (2018), and Ian (2022).
Do oceanfront Myrtle Beach homes need special gutters?
Yes. Oceanfront and near-beach properties face accelerated corrosion from salt air and wind-blown sand. Standard aluminum can deteriorate in just 5-7 years on the Grand Strand. We recommend marine-grade aluminum with enhanced corrosion coating, stainless steel fasteners (not zinc-plated), and optional copper for maximum longevity. Our coastal systems come with extended warranties specific to oceanfront conditions.
How do I maintain gutters on a golf course community home?
Golf course community homes at Barefoot Landing, Grande Dunes, Legends, and Tidewater face unique challenges from course irrigation, landscape debris, and HOA appearance standards. We offer HOA-compliant color matching, community-wide service programs for discounted rates, documentation for architectural review boards, and annual maintenance packages. Our micro-mesh guards eliminate most maintenance while maintaining the aesthetic your HOA requires.
When should I schedule gutter cleaning for hurricane season?
We recommend pre-hurricane season cleaning and inspection by May 15th, before June 1st when Atlantic hurricane season officially begins. This ensures your gutters can handle intense storm rainfall and aren't carrying debris weight that could cause failure in high winds. We offer priority scheduling for existing customers and pre-season inspection specials. Post-storm inspections are available 24/7 during active hurricane season.
Can you service gutter issues on my Myrtle Beach condo?
Yes, we work with both individual condo owners and HOA/property management companies throughout the Grand Strand. For individual units in larger buildings, we coordinate with building management for access. For HOAs, we offer building-wide assessments, common area gutter services, and volume pricing for multi-unit projects. We carry the insurance required by most Grand Strand condo associations.
What causes gutters to fail during Grand Strand hurricanes?
The most common causes of gutter failure during hurricanes are: inadequate hanger spacing (industry standard 36" is too wide for our wind loads), use of spike-and-ferrule systems instead of hidden hangers, clogged gutters adding weight stress, and corrosion-weakened fasteners. Our hurricane-rated installations address all these issues with 18" hanger spacing, structural hidden hangers, gutter guard options, and stainless steel fasteners.
