How do you paint galvanized gutters?

• <div><p>First, you’ll want to remove rust stains with a scouring pad. Next, you’ll need to thoroughly clean the galvanized gutters with hot water and mild dish soap—once dry, wipe down the gutters with turpentine (available for around <b>$10</b>). Finally, apply metal primer followed by a coat or two of high-quality exterior latex paint.

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: 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: What are common problems with gutters?

• <div><p>Clogged gutters are one of the most common problems homeowners will face since excess debris from trees or other outside elements can prevent water from passing through properly. Other common problems include leaks and holes, which can usually be repaired with gutter sealant or caulk, as well as damaged gutters from strong storms or improperly pitched gutters. </p></div>

We had Seth come clean our windows at home. He was on time, professional and affordable. Windows were super clean when the job was complete, and he ensured we were happy before he left. Will use again.
