Gutter Services · Beaufort County
No bridge reaches Daufuskie Island, so gutter work starts with a plan for the crossing. A&A cleans, repairs and installs gutters on frame cottages and club homes alike.

Call (843) 892-8880Gutter work on Daufuskie Island begins at the dock, because the southernmost inhabited sea island in South Carolina has no bridge. The 2020 Census counted 557 residents and 506 housing units in the Daufuskie Island CDP, served by A&A Island Services from Bluffton.
Two building traditions share the island. The Daufuskie Island Historic District's 1982 National Register nomination describes folk houses from 1890 to 1930: frame cottages with weatherboard siding, gable or hip roofs, shed porches, and wooden or brick piers, clustered in the Maryfield and Cooper River settlements. Haig Point, a private 1,050-acre community on the northeast end, has more than 225 homes, while Bloody Point at the southern tip has oceanfront villas and lots facing the ocean, the Mungen River and the golf course.
Exposure runs from marsh to open surf. About 590 acres of salt marsh ring the island, and the island museum notes that beach erosion forced the Bloody Point Lighthouse inland several times. Live oaks arch over the dirt roads.
Beaufort County's Daufuskie Island Code sets the standard for new work: half-round gutters, round downspouts with splashbacks, and galvanized steel, aluminum or copper where gutters are allowed. Club communities may add their own review, so check with your POA as well.
Cars are not allowed in Haig Point, so residents ride golf carts, and the public Lowcountry Ferry lands at Melrose Landing. Our crew and materials cross by boat, so scheduling is planned around the ferry. Ask about timing when you call.
What We Do Here
Clemson notes live oaks shed old leaves in spring as new ones open, so island gutters fill fastest then. We clear every trough, flush each downspout and check the splashbacks. Mention other gutter worries on the call so one boat trip covers them.
Micro-mesh guards suit a cottage under live oaks and pines, or a second home left empty between visits. Half-round gutters need guards shaped for that curve, so we confirm the fit first. Every cleaning skipped is one less boat trip.
New systems follow the Daufuskie Island Code: half-round gutters, round downspouts, and galvanized steel, aluminum or copper. Runs are sized for downpours: NOAA's 1991 to 2020 climate normals give Beaufort MCAS roughly 13 days a year topping an inch of rain.
On a frame cottage, a loose hanger can mean soft fascia, so we check the wood before refastening. Near the beach we inspect fasteners, end caps and corners for salt damage. We repair any make or model and spare original trim.
Seamless gutters are cut on site to fit each eave, and Fixr calls joints the usual leak point on sectional systems. The island code also calls for half-round, so call and we will talk through seamless options and how the material crosses.
Replacing mismatched K-style sections or rusted steel brings a cottage in line with the island code. We take down the old system, check the fascia and hang new half-round runs with round downspouts. In a club community, ask your POA first.
The island code asks for round downspouts with splashbacks, which slow roof water before it hits sandy ground beside a pier. Texas A&M AgriLife's ratio, one square inch of outlet for each 100 square feet of roof, sets the size.
Copper is one of three gutter metals the Daufuskie Island Code names, and half-round copper suits a frame cottage. ATAS International says seaside copper usually turns green in 5 to 7 years. We keep it clear of aluminum and galvanized parts.
Galvalume is steel coated with aluminum and zinc, but the Daufuskie code lists galvanized steel, aluminum and copper, so confirm it is accepted. A sample Sheffield Metals warranty for painted Galvalume will not cover sheet within 1,500 feet of breaking surf or 400 feet of marsh.

Highly recommend A&A Island Services! They were on time, professional, and removed a ton of debris from my gutters. They cleaned everything after they were done and left no mess behind. Thank you!
If you are in need of gutters, definitely call A and A. They came and did a fantastic job. They even replaced old gutters that were already over our garage because they did not match the house color. A nice special touch. They matched the gutter color to our house so it blends in better. Professional, great job, even cleaned the leaves off our roof, and affordable. Highly recommend them to anyone.
Excellent work, on time and did not leave a mess when finished.. Pricing is excellent. Would not hesite yo recommend..
FAQ
Yes. Our crew and materials come over by boat, so each job is planned around the ferry, and we do not publish a fixed island schedule. Call (843) 892-8880, tell us where on the island you live, and we will talk through timing and a free estimate.
Beaufort County's Daufuskie Island Code says gutters shall be half-round, with round downspouts and splashbacks, in galvanized steel, aluminum or copper where allowed. Planned communities such as Haig Point may add their own review, so check with county planning and your POA first.
