What is an alternative to burying downspouts?

• <div><p>If you’re not interested in digging up your yard, but you still need to direct water away from your house, another option is to extend your downspouts further out into the yard. Two methods to do this are:</p><ul><li><p><b>Adding a splashguard.</b> This is the simplest method. You can purchase a splashguard at your local hardware store and place it under your downspout. This will act as a funnel to direct water away from your house.</p></li><li><p><b>Add downspout extension at the end. </b>You can also add an additional downspout to the end of the “elbow” as a way to extend the water further out into your yard. Some hardware stores sell downspouts with a flexible extension that you can maneuver around your yard.</p></li></ul><p>The above alternatives are great options if your gutters are above a slab foundation that you wouldn’t want to dig up. One downside to these methods is if your yard slopes back upwards to your home, then the water won’t actually flow away. In which case, burying your downspouts if the best option to avoid flooding and water damage to your home.</p></div>

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>

Can you clean gutters without a ladder?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/gutter-cleaning-how-often-depends-trees.htm">gutter cleaning</a> methods without using a ladder are available, including:</p><ul><li><p>A curved wand attachment for your hose </p></li><li><p>Gutter tongs on an extension pole</p></li><li><p>A leaf blower gutter cleaning kit</p></li><li><p>Vacuum designed for cleaning gutters</p></li></ul><p>Just be sure that your downspouts are connected and can direct water away from the house if you’re using a water-powered method. This will keep the water from dumping next to the house. </p></div>

Are new gutters expensive?

• <div><p>New gutters cost on average $1,900 for an average sized home, but can cost much more depending on your house size. Gutters are a basic necessity for homes in order to keep water from pooling around your house and damaging the exterior. It’s also a project that can last for many decades with minimal ongoing costs (especially if you’re able to clean gutters yourself). While an expensive upfront cost, the decades long lifespan and low maintenance costs make it a worthwhile investment.</p></div>

I called Geno and left him a message. He called me back 10 mins later. He was able to come out and fix a sagging gutter, clean the gutters, and install gutter guards on the 2nd story gutters on my house the very next day for a fair price. I would highly recommend to others!
