Professional Gutter Installation & Repair
Homeowners often face the decision of whether to repair or replace their gutters. Our recommendation depends on the age of the existing gutters. Standard aluminum gutters typically last between 20 and 25 years.
If your gutters are older than 15 years, we generally recommend gutter installation if you need significant repair. If you’re unsure about what to do, we suggest scheduling an inspection. We will answer your questions and provide you with professional recommendations. Our gutter experts can also explore your gutter repair and replacement options.
Regarding the type of gutters you should install, we generally advise installing seamless gutters. Sectional gutters often cost less, but manufacturers cut them to predetermined lengths. When we install seamless gutters, we cut them on your property to fit the exact dimensions of your home. This means no seams along the straight sections that can fail over time. We hang the sections with heavy-duty hangers and use heavy-duty miters for the inner and outer angles.
K-style gutters offer the best drainage for most homes and are the most common option. Alternatives include half-round and box-style gutters. Aluminum remains the most popular material because it balances price, performance, and longevity.
Homeowners commonly use galvanized steel as an alternative, while zinc and copper serve as premium options. Your gutter installation includes standard downspout lengths. Our professional roofers can also extend them with various downspout extenders, which help channel water away from your foundation, landscaping, and hardscapes.
A common question is whether gutter guards are worth it as an add-on, and they often are. Guards slow the rate at which leaves and other debris build up in gutters. Homeowners with guards typically schedule gutter cleaning only once a year.
Another advantage is that they help prevent sudden clogging, which can occur during severe weather. Bad storms can overwhelm standard gutters and cause them to overflow. Overflowing gutters damage your foundation and other aspects of your home.
