Bigelow is a town in eastern Perry County near where the Fourche La Fave River meets the Arkansas River, a town of 352 people at the 2020 Census. It is about 33 miles from our Maumelle office.
Bigelow, the sawmill town renamed for its lumber boss
Bigelow started out as Esau, a small stop that grew quickly once the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad arrived in 1900. Two years later the Fourche River Lumber Company bought 9,000 acres and built a sawmill west of town, and in 1911 residents petitioned the legislature to rename the town for the company's president, Nelson Pendleton Bigelow. A three-story brick school went up in the town center in 1916.
By about 1920 the mills had cut much of the timber and moved on. Later work came from the Bigelow Manufacturing Company, a mobile-home plant that opened in 1969 with about 120 workers and closed in the late 1990s.
Water is never far off. The U.S. Geological Survey keeps a stream gauge on the Fourche La Fave near Bigelow, and in the spring of 2019 the weather service logged repeated flooding on that river upstream at Houston while the Arkansas River at Toad Suck set a record crest of 285.40 feet on June 4. Long wet stretches like that test gutters and downspouts, because roof water that spills at the eaves ends up against the foundation.
Hail reaches this corner of Perry County as well: StormerSite's compilation of weather service reports lists golf-ball-size (1.75 inch) hail near Bigelow on May 1, 2011, and 1-inch hail between Bigelow and Wye Mountain on March 14, 2020.

Roofing questions from Bigelow
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Bigelow?
No. A roof replacement in Bigelow does not require a permit.
How big has hail gotten around Bigelow?
StormerSite's compilation of weather service reports lists golf-ball-size hail, 1.75 inches, near Bigelow on May 1, 2011. For comparison, our Defender package uses a Class 3 impact shingle rated for hail up to 1-3/4 inches, and our Guardian package uses a Class 4 impact shingle rated for hail up to 2 inches.
Do gutters matter much on a house near the Fourche La Fave?
They do during long rains. In May and June 2019 the weather service recorded flooding on the Fourche La Fave at Houston several times, and the Arkansas River set a record crest at Toad Suck. Gutters cannot hold back a river, but in rain like that they decide whether roof water lands at your foundation or gets carried away from it. We install seamless aluminum gutters in 5 or 6 inch sizes.
