FAQ ABOUT GUTTERS
1Why are gutters important for my home?
Gutters protect your home’s foundation, siding, soffits, fascia, and landscaping by directing rainwater away from the structure. Without them, water can cause rot, mold, erosion, and costly damage.
2How do I know if I need new gutters?
Signs you may need a replacement include sagging gutters, peeling paint on fascia boards, frequent clogs, visible rust or cracks, water pooling near your foundation, or water streaks down your siding.
3What’s the difference between seamless and sectional gutters?
Seamless gutters are made from one continuous piece of material, reducing leaks and maintenance.
Sectional gutters are made of smaller pieces joined together, which can be more affordable but may require more frequent repairs.
4What materials are gutters made from, and which is best?
Common materials include aluminum (lightweight, rust-resistant), steel (strong but may rust), copper (long-lasting and decorative), and vinyl (affordable but less durable).
For most homes, aluminum seamless gutters are a popular balance of cost, performance, and aesthetics.
5What size gutters do I need?
Most homes use 5-inch gutters, but larger roofs or areas with heavy rainfall may benefit from 6-inch gutters to handle more water volume.
6How do gutters connect to soffits and fascia?
Gutters are typically mounted to the fascia board, with the soffit underneath. If your fascia or soffits are damaged or rotting, they should be repaired before installing new gutters to ensure a secure fit.
7Do I really need gutter guards?
Gutter guards help prevent leaves, twigs, and debris from clogging your gutters, reducing maintenance and the risk of overflow. They are especially useful in wooded areas or if your home has multiple rooflines.
8How often should I clean my gutters?
At least twice a year—once in spring and once in fall. If you have overhanging trees or no gutter guards, more frequent cleaning may be needed.
9Can new gutters improve my home’s curb appeal?
Yes. Choosing a gutter color and style that complements your soffits, fascia, and siding can make gutters a subtle but attractive part of your home’s exterior design.
10How long do gutters last?
With proper maintenance, aluminum gutters can last 20 years or more, while copper can last over 50 years.
11Will gutter replacement damage my siding or roof?
When installed by experienced professionals, gutter replacement should not damage your siding or roof. In fact, it can prevent long-term damage by protecting these areas from excess water.
12Should gutters be installed during siding or roof replacement?
If you’re replacing siding, soffits, fascia, or your roof, it’s a great time to install or upgrade gutters—this ensures everything integrates seamlessly and prevents having to redo work later.
