FAQs
How do gutters protect my roof and foundation?
Gutters channel rainwater and melting snow away from your roof and home’s foundation. Properly installed gutters prevent water from pooling around your foundation, reducing the likelihood of leaks, cracks, and costly structural damage. They also help prevent water from seeping under your shingles, which can extend the life of your roof.
Which gutter materials are recommended in Oak Ridge?
Aluminum and seamless steel gutters are common choices in Oak Ridge due to their durability and resistance to rust. Aluminum gutters are lightweight and cost-effective, while seamless steel gutters offer strength and a sleek appearance. Copper gutters are a premium choice known for their longevity and aesthetic appeal.
How often should I clean or maintain my gutters?
Gutters should typically be inspected and cleaned at least twice a year—once in the spring and again in the fall. However, if you have many trees around your property or experience heavy storms, you may need to clean them more frequently to prevent clogs that could lead to water damage.
What factors influence the cost of new gutter installation?
Key factors include the length of your gutters, the type of material used, the complexity of your roofline, and any additional features such as gutter guards. Labor costs can also vary based on how accessible your roof is and the amount of work required to remove old gutters.
How long does a typical gutter installation take?
On average, a straightforward gutter replacement on a single-story home can often be completed within one day. More complex or multi-story homes may require additional time. Having a professional assess your property can help determine a more precise timeline.
When should I replace my gutters instead of repairing them?
If your gutters have extensive rust, cracks, or sagging in multiple areas, replacement is often more cost-effective in the long run. Repeated repairing of aging or severely damaged gutters can lead to recurring issues, whereas installing a new system ensures you have durable, properly functioning gutters.
