Frequently asked questions
What are gutters and why do i need them?
Gutters collect rainwater along the roof edges and direct it away from the foundation, siding, and landscaping through downspouts. They prevent water damage, protect landscaping, and help keep basements dry.
How often should i clean my gutters?
Gutters should be cleaned at least once or twice a year, ideally in the fall and spring. Homes near many trees may need more frequent cleaning.
How much do gutter repairs cost?
The cost of gutter repair depends on the damage extent and gutter type, but minor repairs typically range from $195 to $625.
Can i install gutters myself?
While DIY installation is possible, it can be challenging and carries risks if not done correctly. We recommend hiring professionals for proper installation and longevity.
Are gutters on all sides of a house?
Gutters are generally needed where water flows off the roof's slopes.
Do gutters with gutter guards need to be cleaned?
Gutter guards reduce cleaning frequency by blocking debris, but they still need occasional inspection and cleaning to ensure efficiency.
How long do gutters last?
Gutter lifespan varies by material: aluminum lasts 20-40+ years, steel 20-40 years, vinyl 10-25 years, and copper over 50 years.
What are seamless gutters?
Seamless gutters are custom-made gutters that run in a continuous length, eliminating seams that are prone to leaks and require less maintenance.
