FAQs
How often should I replace my gutters in Philadelphia?
In Philadelphia, it's generally recommended to replace your gutters every 20-30 years, depending on the material and the level of maintenance. Factors like harsh weather conditions, the presence of trees, and the quality of the initial installation can all influence the lifespan of your gutters.
What are the signs that my gutters need to be replaced?
Signs that your gutters need replacement include visible cracks or splits, rust or peeling paint, sagging or pulling away from the roof, pooling water or mildew around the foundation of your home, and signs of water damage on your home's exterior.
What types of gutter materials are available for replacement?
Several types of gutter materials are available, including aluminum, copper, vinyl, and galvanized steel. Aluminum is the most popular due to its durability and affordability, while copper offers a premium look and excellent durability. Vinyl is cost-effective and easy to install but may not last as long in extreme weather conditions.
How long does the gutter replacement process take?
The duration of the gutter replacement process can vary depending on the size and complexity of your home, but typically it takes one to two days to complete. This includes removing the old gutters, preparing the site, and installing the new gutters.
Do I need to be home during the gutter replacement process?
It's not necessary for you to be home during the gutter replacement process, but we recommend being available for any questions or decisions that may need to be made. Our team will coordinate with you to ensure everything is done to your satisfaction.
Can I replace gutters myself, or should I hire a professional?
While it is possible to replace gutters yourself, hiring a professional is often the best option. Professional installers have the experience and tools necessary to ensure that the gutters are correctly installed and properly sloped to avoid water damage. Additionally, professionals can identify and fix any underlying issues that may affect the longevity of your new gutters.
