Here are some key reasons why you should consider getting new gutters installed on your house:
- Prevent water damage: Over time, gutters can rust, crack, pull away from the fascia board, or become clogged with debris. This can lead to water pouring over the sides and pooling around the foundation, which can cause basement leaks, foundation cracks, and other costly water damage.
- Protect your home’s exterior: When gutters are not functioning properly, water can overflow and run down the sides of your house, staining or damaging siding, windows, doors, and trim.
- Avoid landscaping issues: Clogged or broken gutters allow water to pour off the roof in concentrated areas, eroding soil, flooding landscaped areas, and potentially killing plants and vegetation.
- Increase efficiency: New seamless gutters with proper pitch direct water away from your home much more efficiently than old, damaged gutters.
- Upgrade materials: Today’s gutters come in longer-lasting materials like aluminum or copper that hold up better over time compared to older steel gutters.
- Curb appeal: Rusted, sagging, or detached gutters are an eyesore. New gutters give your home a fresh, well-maintained look. While a 20-year lifespan is reasonable for gutters, replacing them proactively can help prevent much costlier repairs down the road from water damage. Properly functioning gutters are an important aspect of protecting your long-term investment in your home.
WHY SHOULD I REPLACE MY GUTTERS WHEN REPLACING MY ROOF?
There are several good reasons to consider replacing your gutters when you replace your roof:
- Prevent damage; Roofers will sometimes need to remove and reinstall gutters as part of a roof replacement project. This process can damage older, brittle gutters. Having new gutters installed at the same time avoids potential damage to older gutters during removal and re-installation.
- Matching components; New gutters will be a proper fit and color-match for your new roof. Mixing old gutters with a new roof can look mismatched.
- Consistent age and Lifespan; Your new roof will likely be the last roof you will need. Putting new gutters on at the same time means your drainage system will be new and should last the full lifespan of the new roof.
- Proper fit; New gutters can be sized and installed specifically for optimal drainage with the new roofing. Avoiding patchwork; Rather than trying to re-use older gutters that may fail sooner, replacing with a full new gutter system creates a cohesive, integrated look with the new
roof. - Cost savings; Including new gutters at the same time is more cost-effective than having to do it later as a separate project. There are typically discounts to bundle the gutter replacement during the re-roofing project.
- Enhanced protection; A new roof and new gutters working together provide maximum protection for your home’s exterior, foundation, landscaping, etc. from water damage.
While not absolutely required, replacing gutters allows you to get the full benefits of your new roof investment. So from an efficiency, cost, and aesthetic standpoint, replacing your aged gutters with your roof makes sense to get a fully upgraded waterproofing system for your home’s exterior. The advantages of having everything integrated, matched, and brand new when investing in a full roof replacement is cost effective and brings many years of worry-free performance.
5” or 6”??
When choosing between 5-inch and 6-inch gutters, there are a few factors to consider:
Roof Size and Roof Pitch Drainage; 6-inch gutters are 20% larger than 5-inch gutters and are generally recommended for homes with very large or steeply-pitched roofs that need to manage substantially more runoff water. The extra inch of width allows 6-inch gutters to handle up to 40% more water capacity compared to 5-inch.
For an average-sized home with a more moderately pitched roof, 5-inch gutters are often sufficient for handling typical rainfall amounts.
Fascia Board Size; The width of your fascia boards (horizontal boards that gutters attach to) may influence your gutter size choice.
Aesthetics; The 6-inch gutter has a slightly larger visual profile compared to 5-inch when looking at your home’s exterior.
