Are you planning to replace your home’s current gutter system? If you answered yes, then you need to take the right approach to gutter replacement. As the leading roofers in the area, we’re here to give you a quick rundown on how to get the process done right.
Gutters are available in different types of materials. Vinyl and aluminum gutters are often more affordable and lightweight. On the other hand, high-end options include copper and steel, which are more durable. Different materials will have different maintenance requirements, but most are fairly easy to maintain.
Gutters can either come as either sectional gutters and seamless gutters. Sectional gutters are known for their durability, but roofing experts say that today’s seamless gutters can be just as tough. Because of this, you may want to pick an option based on aesthetics rather than straight up performance.
You will likely have to choose a gutter based on a specific profile. Most of the time, you will have to pick between round gutters and k-style gutters. Round gutters have a round or u-shaped profile, which makes it easier to clean. On the other hand, k-style gutters offer better water capacity and overall structural strength.
Because getting the gutters properly installed is crucial to keeping your home safe from erosion and moisture damage, we strongly recommend avoiding the DIY approach. Instead, hire a reputable gutter and roof repair contractor to make sure the gutters are installed safely and according to manufacturer’s specifications.
