WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO INSTALL GUTTERS?
Installing gutters on your home is the most effective way to protect your property from water damage and optimize the lifespan of your roof. Gutters are a drainage system that channels rainwater away from your roof and foundation and prevents the buildup of debris on your roof.
Without a proper gutter system, water will accumulate around the base of your home, potentially leading to leaks, cracks in the foundation, soil erosion, and increased moisture levels in your basement. Gutters direct water away from vulnerable areas, minimizing the risk of water infiltration and protecting your walls, doors, and entryways from stains and discoloration that can be caused by runoff.

Installing new siding provides a good opportunity to evaluate your gutters. Gutters complement siding by protecting them from water damage, and it's often beneficial to address both systems simultaneously to ensure optimal performance.
For instance, if we're installing James Hardie siding, which is thicker and more durable than traditional siding, your existing gutters may need to be adjusted or replaced to accommodate the new profile. This ensures a proper fit and prevents any gaps that could affect performance or appearance.

HOW LONG DO GUTTER SYSTEMS LAST?
Gutter lifespans vary depending on the material used and the level of maintenance performed, but you can usually expect around two decades of reliable performance. The quality of the installation, local weather conditions, and regular cleaning and maintenance all impact the longevity of your gutters, but they’re typically a long-term investment, so you should expect good durability.
You should expect the following out of your gutters:
- Aluminum gutters: One of the most popular choices, these systems typically last 20-30 years with proper maintenance and cleaning.
- Galvanized steel: While less common than aluminum, galvanized steel gutters have a similar lifespan of around 30 years. However, they have a higher upfront cost and require regular maintenance to avoid rusting.
- Copper gutters: Copper gutters are the most durable system available, with most lasting over 50 years and some downspouts lasting close to a century.
- Vinyl gutters: Although they’re the most commonly found, vinyl has the shortest lifespan at around 20 years.

WHEN SHOULD I CONSIDER NEW GUTTERS?
Over time, gutters can develop leaks or sag, compromising their ability to divert water away from your home. Pay attention to your gutters during rainfall and consider whether you’re noticing persistent clogs, visible cracks, or water pooling around your foundation. These signs indicate your gutters no longer function effectively.
A common issue is rust, particularly in older metal gutters. Rust spreads and weakens the material, causing holes and cracks that, in turn, lead to leaks. Even a small rust spot can grow quickly, leaving your home vulnerable to water damage during heavy rain.
Here are some other key signs that indicate it may be time for new gutters:
- Peeling paint: Indicates prolonged water exposure or material degradation
- Cracks or splits: Even small cracks can grow, leading to leaks and water damage
- Frequent overflowing: Suggests the gutters are undersized or clogged beyond repair
- Water stains on siding: A sign that water is escaping the gutter system
If you’ve noticed any of these warning signs, it may be time to replace your gutters. Investing in a new gutter system protects your home from costly water damage and enhances its overall value and curb appeal.
HOW MANY GUTTER DOWNSPOUTS DO YOU NEED?
Gutter downspouts are the vertical pipes that channel water from your gutters to the ground. Most systems have them placed at the corners of your home or along the sides, depending on your roof’s layout. Having the right amount of them ensures water is efficiently directed away.
The number of downspouts you’ll need depends on the size and slope of your roof, as well as the capacity of your gutters. Typically, we’ll install a downspout every 20 to 30 feet of gutter length. Larger or steeper roofs, however, often require additional downspouts to handle the increased water flow.
WHERE DO PROFESSIONALS ATTACH RAIN GUTTERS?
Rain gutters are attached to the edge of your roof, secured directly to the fascia board just below the roofline. We use durable brackets and screws to fasten the gutters securely, ensuring they remain firmly in place. This prevents gaps between the roof and the gutter, which could otherwise allow water to overflow or leak behind the gutter.
Proper attachment also involves ensuring your gutters have a slight slope toward the downspouts to promote effective drainage. One of the reasons why some systems fail prematurely is because they aren’t installed at the correct angle. To avoid this, we measure precise points for the brackets and use a level to set a downward pitch.
WHAT DOES GUTTER SIZE DEPEND ON?
The size of your gutter is important for effectively managing rainwater. Gutters that are too small can overflow during heavy rainfall, potentially damaging your home. If they’re too large, they look out of place and unnecessarily increase costs without providing additional benefits.
One key factor in gutter sizing is the pitch of your roof. Steeper roofs shed water more quickly, requiring larger gutters to handle the increased flow. For example, a high-pitched metal roof will funnel rainwater faster than a flat asphalt shingle roof, requiring a wider gutter system.
Another consideration is the roofing material. Smooth surfaces like metal or slate roofs allow water to flow rapidly, while textured materials like asphalt shingles slow water down. A slate roof with a steep pitch might need six-inch gutters, whereas a low-slope asphalt roof could function with five-inch gutters.
DO METAL ROOFS NEED A SPECIFIC TYPE OF GUTTER SYSTEM?
Metal roofs are designed to shed water quickly due to their smooth surface. With them, it’s not about needing a specific type of gutter but rather, having the right configuration. For this material, the gutter needs to be large enough and positioned correctly to handle the faster runoff, occasionally requiring steeper slopes or even oversized designs.
Gutter guards are an important accessory for metal roofs. The primary concern with this material is that the faster flow of water will carry in more debris at a faster rate. The Leaf Sentry gutter guards we install have a nose-forward design that helps prevent debris from entering, with surface tension to direct water smoothly, which is ideal for metal roofs.
DOES SEAMLESS GUTTER INSTALLATION DIFFER FROM TRADITIONAL GUTTERS?
Seamless gutter installation does differ from traditional gutters since they’re custom-made to fit your exact dimensions. Sectional gutters come in pre-cut lengths that require multiple joints, whereas seamless gutters are formed as a continuous piece.
When we install your seamless gutters, we begin by taking precise measurements of your roofline. We can then fabricate the gutters on-site accordingly. Once formed, we securely mount the gutters to your fascia boards with heavy-duty hangers. Finally, we attach the downspouts and install the gutter guards.
ARE GUTTERS WEATHERPROOF?
Although most gutters are designed to withstand the elements, their weatherproof capabilities are impacted by the material they’re made from and the frequency of their maintenance. Aluminum and copper gutters offer exceptional protection, resistance to corrosion, and a protective patina over time.
Vinyl and non-metal gutters are good short-term options, but extended UV exposure can cause them to become brittle and crack in places. No gutters are entirely weatherproof, but proper installation, maintenance, and cleaning are crucial for prolonging the lifespan of any system.
WILL GUTTER COVERS STAND OUT?
The gutter covers we install are designed to be low-profile, blending with your gutter system and roofline. They don’t disrupt the appearance of your home, as they sit flush with the gutters and are barely noticeable from the ground.
You also have the option to choose from a range of colors, such as white, brown, evergreen, and black, to coordinate with your gutters or enhance your home’s siding or roof. You can choose contrasting colors, or if you prefer a more inconspicuous look, choose matching ones.
