Q: Can a gutter have too much slope?

• <div><p>Yes. Excessive pitch in gutters can cause water to flow too rapidly, leading to a decrease in the gutter's water-holding capacity; consequently, during heavy rainstorms, water may awkwardly splash outside the gutters. Ideally, you should aim for a quarter-inch of gutter slope for every 10 feet of gutter run. However, it's important to note that this guideline may vary depending on your home's structure and the type of gutters being installed.</p></div>

Q: How much does gutter repair cost?

• <div><p>Gutter repair costs around <b>$400</b> on average, and prices range from <b>$200 up to $650</b> in most cases. You can expect to pay between <b>$4 and $30 per linear foot</b>. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to have a professional come out to price your project. Some factors that influence your total include the following:</p><ul><li><p>Number of linear feet of gutter to repair</p></li><li><p>Gutter style </p></li><li><p>Gutter material</p></li><li><p>Accessibility of the gutters</p></li><li><p>Whether you have seamless or seamed gutters</p></li><li><p>Type of necessary repairs </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Should gutter downspouts touch the ground?

• <div><p>Unless you've chosen to install underground downspouts, your gutter downspouts shouldn't touch the ground. If they come into contact with the soil or pavement next to your home, rainwater can back up into them during a storm, preventing them from doing their job effectively. Instead, aim to have your downspouts end about 12 inches from the ground. </p></div>

Q: What are some effective tips for extending the lifespan of my gutters?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning, checking for leaks, and ensuring that downspouts direct water away from the foundation help prolong gutter life.</p></div>

The two guys were very fast, efficient and cleaned up all of the mess. There was damage to one window screen, one panel of the patio door and missing part for the door which they are replacing and taking care of it for us. We were very pleased.
