Q: Can I repair my own gutters?

• <div><p>It is possible to repair your own gutters, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. First, gutters need to sit at a precise slope to direct water toward the downspouts but also appear level from the yard, and this task is challenging to get right through DIY gutter repair. Second, any mistakes you make could be costly if they cause water damage or foundation damage. It might seem unnecessary to spend <b>$400</b> on professional gutter repair, but it pales in comparison to what you might pay if you make a mistake doing the work yourself.</p></div>

Q: What are common issues requiring gutter repair?

• <div><p>Clogging, sagging, leaks, rust, and detachment from the roofline are common problems that need attention.</p></div>

Q: Do buried downspouts freeze?

• <div><p>Buried downspouts can freeze during cold weather as cold water runs through them. If you&rsquo;ve discovered your downspouts are frozen, you can carefully pour hot water down the top of the downspout to defrost them. If that doesn&rsquo;t work, you may need to dig your downspout back up. Avoid trying to break the ice from the exterior using a hammer as this can cause cracks and damage to your downspout.</p><p>To avoid freezing the future, consider adding a heating cable to the exterior, which can adjust heat based on the surrounding temperature.</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.
