Do you need to replace gutters when you get a new roof?

• <div><p>While not technically required, it’s a good idea. Replacing gutters, especially if they’re getting on in years, can sometimes even cost less than reinstalling existing gutters. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-gutter-replacement-cost.htm">cost to replace or install gutters</a> comes down to the size of your roof, the material costs, and the cost of labor in your area.</p></div>

Is it normal for gutters to drip at the seams?

• <div><p>Gutters should not drip at the seams. This problem could indicate that water is collecting in the gutters instead of moving to the downspouts. You could have leaves or other debris blocking the flow of water at the seams. Try <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-gutter-cleaning-so-important.htm">cleaning the gutters</a>, adjusting the slope, and sealing any holes or cracks in the material to fix this problem. </p></div>

Can installing gutter guards reduce the chances of my gutters clogging?

• <div><p>Gutter guards can slow down the process of getting clogged gutters, but they won’t technically reduce your chances of it happening. They’re not a permanent solution. Instead, they’re a temporary fix where after some time, leaves and debris will continue to build on top of them and make your gutters less effective. Periodically cleaning your gutters is the best way to reduce the chances of them clogging.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to replace gutters when you get a new roof?

• <div><p>While not technically required, it&rsquo;s a good idea. Replacing gutters, especially if they&rsquo;re getting on in years, can sometimes even cost less than reinstalling existing gutters.

Q: What is the average lifespan of gutters?

• <div><p>Depending on the quality of the materials and the installation of your home's gutter system, you can expect between 20 and 50 years of service from your gutters. Homeowners who perform, or hire someone to perform, regular maintenance and cleaning of the system will experience the longest lifespan possible from their systems, provided it doesn't sustain damage from storms or other peril.</p></div>

Q: Should you remove gutters before painting?

• <div><p>You can remove your gutters before painting, but it's rarely required. It can be easier to paint gutters on the ground once you or a pro have removed them, but replacing them afterward can be challenging. In these cases, removing gutters may be impractical. Make your decision based on your comfort level and abilities.</p></div>

Noah was quick and efficient. The job was well done and the area was left clean. He was very patient and let me write down directions (to add to the manual) as he took time to show me how to start up and run the new generator.
