Gutter Installation

When to Schedule Your Gutter Installation

Think you can put off your gutter installation for a few more weeks (or even months)? You might need to think again. If you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to get your gutter installation project on the books:

• Peeling paint or signs of rust in your gutters: Take a look at your gutters to see if you notice orange rust flakes or peeling paint chips. If you do, it’s a warning sign that your gutters are no longer working properly and need to be replaced. 

• Cracks or splits in your gutters: Small cracks in your gutters may not seem like a big deal, but they can quickly worsen. Eventually, these cracks will get bigger, leaving your home vulnerable to water damage when it storms. 
• Standing water or mildew growth in your gutters: Properly working gutters move water away from your home. If you notice standing water or mildew in your gutters, it’s an indication that you need to install new gutters sooner rather than later. 

The first step in planning your gutter installation is choosing which gutters to have installed. Here are a few tips to help you make the right choice for your home: 

• Choose a durable material: Aluminum is one of the most popular gutter materials because it’s lightweight and designed to last upwards of 20 years. 
• Pick a complementary color: Choose a gutter color that matches the rest of your home’s exterior for an instant boost in curb appeal. 
• Opt for a seamless design: Seamless gutters are made from a continuous piece of material, so they have no seams. This makes them less vulnerable to leaks over time.
• Consider K-style options: We recommend installing K-style gutters, which offer a sleek appearance and unique design for maximum efficiency.
