If you’re going through the expense and time of replacing your roof, it makes sense that you would replace your gutters as well. There are many reasons why this is a good idea, from improved curb appeal to better water protection.
Improved Curb Appeal
New gutters boost curb appeal alongside a new residential roofing system. When you replace both components at the same, you can choose complementary colors or styles that match your home and shingles. Ask your roofer for samples to see which products you like best and in which combination.
More Savings, Less Stress
It takes a lot of time and energy to plan major home improvements, including roof and gutter replacement. When you partner with a reliable contractor, you can go through the home improvement process only once, saving you stress and money. You only have one disruption to your family and daily life rather than two. Plus, many contractors give you one bundled price to replace both the roof and gutters simultaneously, saving you cash on labor costs.
Better Water Protection
Your roof and gutters protect your home from water damage. Contractors will install a drip edge to ensure proper water flow from the roof so it can travel without backing up and seeping underneath the shingles. Once that happens, it’s just a matter of time until water leaks into your attic, leading to mold growth and rot.
Times When Gutter Replacement is Unnecessary
There are times when there’s no need to replace your gutters when you replace your roof. For example, gutter replacement is unnecessary during a roofing project when your gutters are relatively new and are in good condition. Reputable roofers will be honest with you and let you know if your gutters need a repair or a full replacement. They should be able to provide a thorough inspection and then give you detailed reasons why you need a gutter replacement.
Finding a reputable roofing contractor is key, so be sure to call a few companies to get quotes and information on services. Look into their experience, read reviews and do plenty of research into their background. View before and after photos on their website and give each roofer a call to make sure they offer what you need. Get referrals if you can and follow up with them to makes sure their past clients liked their work.
