Can I Keep My Existing Gutters?

Most often we can install our covers over your existing gutters. We do a thorough inspection of your current home conditions and evaluate whether we can keep your existing gutters or whether new gutters are needed. To do this we analyze the following:

• Are your existing gutters properly pitched
• Are your existing gutters leaking at the seams
• Are your existing gutters properly secured to the fascia boards
  • spikes and ferrules (the old method) are unacceptable fasteners
  • Inferior hanging brackets that offer little support
  • The wrong type of screws such as untreated wood screws or screws that are too small
• Are your existing gutters too damaged or dented to allow for a good cover installation
• Are your fascia boards in good condition
  • Can they properly grab a screw
  • They can be dry rotted or deteriorated and requires a visual and mechanical inspection
• Do we need to clean out the inside of the existing gutters
• Are the front face of your existing gutters stained and aesthetically unacceptable for you 

After an evaluation, we provide you with our assessment and options for re-using your existing gutters. Sometimes the cost of repairing your existing gutters, if needed, is not worth the expense and new gutters may offer a more long-term affordable solution.

If needed, we can install new high-quality gutters for you as part of our gutter guard installation.
