Gutters

Why are gutters important?

Gutters help direct rainwater away from your home's foundation, preventing water damage, erosion, and basement flooding. They also protect siding, prevent staining, and preserve landscaping.


What happens if I don't clean my gutters?

Clogged gutters can lead to water overflow, causing damage to the roof, siding, foundation, and landscaping. Water can also seep into the interior of your home, causing structural issues and mold growth.


How often should I inspect my gutters for damage?

Inspect your gutters at least once a year, preferably before the rainy season, to check for leaks, rust, sagging, or loose fasteners. Immediate repairs can prevent larger issues.


When should I replace my gutters?

If your gutters are rusted, corroded, have multiple leaks, or are sagging, it might be time for replacement. Also, if repairs become too frequent or costly, replacement might be more cost-effective.

How often do I need to replace siding?

Depending on the material, siding can last anywhere from 20-50 years. The need for replacement also depends on factors like damage from severe weather, pests, or accidents. Additionally, if siding isn't adequately maintained or if there are installation issues causing premature wear, replacement might be necessary sooner. Regular inspections and maintenance can help identify issues early and prolong the lifespan of siding.


Is a full siding job the only option?
