Q: Where should you direct water from the gutters?

• <div><p>The first rule of knowing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-about-how-install-gutters.htm">how to install gutters</a> is that water coming from gutters should be directed 4 feet to 6 feet away from your home. Depending on the specifics of your property, water can be directed to a cistern, municipal drainage ditch, or the street. Water should never be directed toward a neighbor's yard.</p></div>

Q: How far apart should downspouts be on gutter systems?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s possible to run a gutter for 30 to 40 feet without a downspout in some cases, you really should place a downspout every 20 feet. Too long of a gutter run without a downspout means that the downspouts you do have will more easily get overwhelmed since the gutters divert water from a larger portion of the roof to them.</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 alternatives to a gutter system?

• <div><p>Yes, you can opt to use one of these gutter system alternatives. The most traditional alternative is rain chains, which are literally heavy chains dangling from your roof&rsquo;s edge to divert rainwater. A rain dispersal system may also come in handy as it breaks up the water on your roof. Most gutters already come with a dripedge to help direct water into gutters. However, we recommend installing a full gutter system to protect your home and use alternative methods as additional protection.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint my gutters to look like copper?

• <div><p>You can paint your gutters to look copper by using a copper-colored liquid or spray paint. To give your gutters a shiny appearance, choose a rust or metallic paint and primer. This option is a cost-effective way to achieve the coveted look of real copper gutters without spending the money. Be sure to choose a high-quality exterior paint that is designed to withstand the elements. </p></div>
