FAQs
What are the benefits of choosing custom-cut gutter systems over standard sectional gutters?
Custom-cut gutters are fabricated on-site to the exact length of each roof edge, eliminating the need for seams every 10 feet. Fewer seams mean far less chance of leaks, sagging, and clogs, which translates to longer service life and reduced maintenance. Custom gutters also offer a cleaner, more streamlined appearance that enhances curb appeal for Kelso homes.
Which gutter materials do you recommend for Kelso’s climate, and why?
For the Pacific Northwest’s wet winters and occasional summer heat waves, we typically recommend heavy-gauge aluminum or 26-gauge steel. Aluminum resists rust and is lightweight yet strong, while steel stands up well to falling branches and ice loads. Both materials are available in baked-on enamel finishes to withstand Kelso’s frequent rain without fading or peeling.
How long does a typical gutter replacement project take from start to finish?
Most residential projects are completed in one day. Our crew arrives in the morning, removes and hauls away the old gutters, inspects and repairs fascia boards if needed, then fabricates and installs the new custom-cut system on site. Larger homes or those requiring fascia repair may extend the project to two days, but we always provide a precise timeline during the estimate.
Will new gutters affect my roof warranty or require additional permits in Kelso?
Installing new gutters does not void roof manufacturer warranties as long as proper fastening methods are used and shingles are not lifted. In Kelso, gutter replacement is considered a minor exterior improvement and generally doesn’t require a city permit, but we still verify municipal guidelines before starting work to ensure full compliance.
What maintenance do custom-cut gutters require after installation?
We recommend semi-annual cleanings—once in late fall after most leaves have dropped and again in early spring—to clear debris and check for downspout blockages. With seamless construction there are fewer joints to inspect, but it’s still wise to look for any loose hangers or sealant wear. Adding optional gutter guards can reduce cleaning frequency to once a year.
Do you offer warranties or service guarantees on gutter replacements?
Yes. All custom-cut gutter systems come with a 20-year manufacturer’s finish warranty against peeling, cracking, and rust. We also back our workmanship with a 5-year installation warranty covering leaks, sagging, or detachment under normal weather conditions. If an issue arises, simply call our Kelso office and we’ll schedule a prompt service visit at no charge.
