FAQs
How often should I replace my gutters?
Gutters should typically be replaced every 20-30 years, depending on the material and how well they have been maintained. Regular inspections can help identify any early signs of wear or damage, such as rust, cracks, and sagging, which might indicate the need for replacement sooner.
What are the signs that I need new gutters?
Common signs that your gutters need replacement include visible cracks or splits, paint peeling or rust spots, water damage or marks beneath the gutters, sagging or pulling away from the house, and frequent clogs. Additionally, if you notice accumulation of water around the foundation of your house, it might indicate your gutters are not functioning properly.
Are there different types of gutters I can choose from?
Yes, there are several types of gutters available, including aluminum, steel, vinyl, copper, and zinc. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of durability, maintenance, cost, and aesthetic appeal. Aluminum is popular due to its balance of cost, durability, and ease of maintenance.
How long does it take to replace gutters on a typical house?

Can I replace my gutters myself, or should I hire a professional?
