How do I know if my gutters need to be replaced?

• <div><p>With routine maintenance, gutters don’t usually need to be replaced for 20 years, but there are warning signs that they might need early replacement. Signs that your gutters need to be replaced include sagging, visible cracks or holes, peeling paint, rust, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/standing-water-sign-your-gutters-need-repair.htm">standing water in your gutter</a>, and water leaking into your basement. Pushing off replacing your gutters can lead to extensive damage to both the interior and exterior of your home. Regular maintenance can help your gutters last all 20 years — and sometimes, even longer. </p></div>

Q: How often should gutters be cleaned?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-gutter-cleaning-so-important.htm">Gutters should be cleaned</a> <b>at least</b> <b>twice a year</b>, in the spring and in the fall, to remove the debris from trees that can clog the eavestroughs and downspouts. Debris like leaves, twigs, and seed pods can build up and cause your gutters to overflow, potentially causing damage to your roof and foundation. Water backing up under the shingles can rot the edge of your roofline. Overflow water falling next to your foundation can end up leaking into your basement or crawl space.</p></div>

Q: What other methods can I use for cleaning my gutters?

• <div><p>Pressure washing isn&rsquo;t the only <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-outside-gutters.htm">way to clean your gutters</a>. Use a hose and a long-handled brush if you aren&rsquo;t afraid of a little elbow grease. Alternatively, set up a stable ladder and scrub by hand with a brush. It&rsquo;s also possible to purchase gutter wand extensions for hoses or a gutter vacuum if you don&rsquo;t mind the investment. These help clean thoroughly without you having to scale a ladder.</p></div>

Q: How many years do gutters last?

• <div><p>On average, gutters last between 15 and 25 years. Certain materials (stainless and galvanized steel, copper, and cast iron) will have much longer lifespans, with much higher price tags. Vinyl typically lasts only 10 to 15 years, while the second most commonly used material, aluminum, lasts an average of 25 years. Only you as the homeowner will know if the additional cost of upgraded materials makes sense for your home.</p></div>

Q: Are there different types of gutter hangers?

• <div><p>There are five main <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-gutter-hangers.htm">types of gutter hangers</a>, and all offer different benefits. Spikes and ferrules aren&rsquo;t as durable as brackets and straps and wrap-around hangers, but they aren&rsquo;t as expensive and will get the job done. Worried more about curb appeal than gutter strength? T-bar or T-strap and hidden hangers will keep these important gutter elements out of sight. </p></div>

We can rely on them. They show up when they're supposed to; return calls when we need them. It's nice to have a company we can count on. They are just wonderful to work with, do a great job and I highly recommend them.
