FAQs
Why is replacing my gutters so important before Harrison’s seasonal downpours?
Harrison averages more than 45 inches of rain a year, much of it coming in heavy spring and fall storms. When gutters are cracked, sagging, or clogged, that water can overflow and pool around your foundation, leak into basements, or back-up under shingles. A fresh, properly sized gutter system channels the surge away from your home, protecting roof decking, fascia boards, siding, and landscaping during the intense downpours we see locally.
How do I know whether I need a full gutter replacement or just a repair?
A repair can work if only 10–15 ft of gutter is damaged or if the issue is limited to loose hangers or minor leaks at seams. If you notice widespread rust, multiple separated seams, gutters that are pulling away from the fascia, or persistent overflow even after cleaning, a full replacement is more cost-effective and reliable. During our free inspection we photograph trouble spots and measure pitch to recommend the right option.
What gutter size and material do you recommend for homes in Harrison?
For most single-family homes in Harrison, we install 5-inch K-style aluminum gutters paired with 3×4-inch downspouts, which carry about 40 % more water than the older 2×3 standard. Homes with large or complex rooflines often benefit from 6-inch gutters to handle the higher volume that seasonal cloudbursts dump. Aluminum is lightweight, rust-free, and budget friendly, but we also offer seamless copper and steel for added durability or historic aesthetics.
How long does a typical gutter replacement take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A straightforward single-story gutter replacement usually takes 4–6 hours. Two-story or steep-slope roofs may take a full day. Our crew removes old gutters, checks the fascia, installs hidden hangers every 24 in, and tests water flow before leaving. You don’t have to be home for most of the work, though we ask that pets be secured and vehicles moved away from the eaves to give the installers clear ladder access.
Do I need a permit or inspection from the city of Harrison for gutter work?
Gutter replacements are considered exterior maintenance and do not require a building permit in Harrison as long as the project doesn’t alter structural elements. If we discover rotten fascia boards that need rebuilding, we’ll advise you if a minor repair permit is necessary. Regardless, our team follows all OSHA safety standards and carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance for your peace of mind.
What maintenance is required after my new gutters are installed?
Even the best gutters need cleaning at least twice a year—in late spring and again after the last fall leaf drop. Installing leaf guards can cut that to a quick hose-down inspection. After big storms, walk around your home to check for drips at seams or downspout clogs. We include a 10-year workmanship warranty, so if any joint leaks within that period, call us and we’ll reseal it free of charge.
