Seamless Gutters & Drainage in San Marco, Jacksonville

San Marco floods. It has for decades — Hurricane Irma in 2017 had rescue crews pulling residents out of homes; recent storms have put four-plus inches of water across San Marco Boulevard at Riviera Street. The city is mid-build on a $64 million drainage project with a new pump station between LaSalle and the St. Johns River, expected to wrap up in early 2026. That helps — but it doesn't change the fact that storm surge in this part of the river has increased an estimated 8 inches because of historic dredging. For San Marco property owners, every variable you can control matters. Roof runoff is one of them.

What chronic flood exposure means for your gutters

When the broader system is overwhelmed and storm surge is rising, your home's water management is the difference between "took on water" and "stayed dry":

• Properly sized gutters keep roof runoff inside the system instead of overflowing onto siding, soffit, and foundation
• Designed downspout routing sends roof water far enough away that it doesn't add to ground-level flooding
• Schedule 40 PVC underground extensions hold up under repeated saturation; corrugated pipe doesn't
• French drains and dry wells absorb surface water that would otherwise pool against the house

We don't fix the river. We design YOUR system so the variables you control are working for you.

What we install in San Marco

• Seamless aluminum or copper gutters, sized for the actual roof load
• Half-round and K-style profiles matched to the architecture (San Marco has a wide range of historic and mid-century homes)
• Hidden hangers anchored to sound fascia
• Schedule 40 PVC underground downspout extensions, never corrugated
• French drains and dry wells where surface water is the problem
• Soffit and fascia repair before re-hanging when needed
• Color matching to historic trim

Drainage on tight San Marco lots

San Marco lots range from tight historic urban to larger river-adjacent. The drainage approach changes:

• Tight lots: water has to be routed through Schedule 40 PVC to a designed discharge point — no other option
• Larger lots: more flexibility on French drains, dry wells, and pop-up emitters
• River-adjacent: discharge needs to be designed away from bulkheads and landscape

Each property gets a designed system, not a default install.

Owner Albert handles the design walk

Will new gutters help my San Marco house in a storm surge event?

Gutters won't stop storm surge — that's a different problem the city's pump station is addressing. But properly sized gutters with designed underground routing prevent your roof runoff from adding to ground-level flooding. It's one of the variables you control.

My San Marco fascia is rotted from years of overflow — can you replace it?

Yes, as part of the gutter scope. We pull the existing gutters, replace the failed boards, and re-hang on solid wood with hidden hangers.

Can you tie my downspouts into the new city drainage when it comes online?

Yes — when the city's project is complete, we can adjust or extend underground routing to take advantage of new discharge points if appropriate. We design with that in mind now.

Do you offer copper gutters for San Marco's historic homes?

Yes — seamless copper, formed on site. Pairs well with the historic and traditional architecture in San Marco. Patinas naturally over the first few years.
