Gutter Repair

Should I repair or replace my gutters?

This REPAIR or REPLACE decision depends on the individual and every case is different, here are some ideas on how to make the right decision:

We recommend repair if…

• Any damage is simply localized to one area where you would not have to tear out your entire gutter system.
• You need to fix a few holes or cracks. (Larger holes or cracks may require replacement)
• A single joint or seam is leaking. 
• A few hangers are loose. You may need to replace the existing hangers if they are bent.

We recommend replace if…

• There are too many or  lots of little repairs that are needed. 
  
• If your gutters are riddled with cracks, holes, or rust spots.
• Your hangers won’t stay screwed in. 
• If you notice sagging or incorrect pitch. Rarely can this issue be solved with a quick fix. You’ll have more peace of mind if a gutter contractor installs new gutters which are correctly pitched so water flows where it is supposed to.
• You notice water damage such as deteriorating landscaping or basement flooding).
• Damage is caused from denting or buckling. (tree limb falls onto the gutter, other contractor damaged while repairing the roof perhaps)
