When replacement becomes the cleaner solution
Replacement is worth considering when an existing gutter system has widespread damage, recurring leaks at many locations, extensive sagging, poor original layout, or repair costs that no longer make sense relative to a new system.
Replacement is a chance to correct layout problems
Removing an old system creates an opportunity to rethink gutter size, outlet locations, downspout routing, and the way water leaves the property. Simply copying an old layout can reproduce the same performance problems.
What to compare in an estimate
- Gutter material and profile
- Gutter size
- Downspout dimensions and quantity
- Removal and disposal of the old system
- Any fascia repairs that may be needed
- Gutter guard options, if desired
- How discharge water will be handled
