FAQs
Why are long-lasting, high-performance gutters so important for homes in Kelso?
Kelso receives heavy seasonal rainfall and occasional high winds, which can overwhelm older, undersized, or corroded gutters. Robust, well-sized guttering channels water away from fascia boards, foundations, and landscaping, preventing rot, basement dampness, mold growth, and soil erosion. By investing in a premium system designed for our local climate, you reduce maintenance, avoid costly structural repairs, and preserve the overall value of your property.
How long will your replacement gutters last and what materials do you recommend?
We offer aluminum, Colorbond® steel, and copper systems. • Aluminum: powder-coated, rust-free, 25–30-year life expectancy. • Colorbond® steel: specially coated for corrosion resistance, 30–40-year life expectancy. • Copper: naturally weather-resistant, can last 50+ years. All options are seamless or have sealed joints to minimize leaks, and come with UV-stable finishes so their appearance holds up under Kelso’s strong sun.
What are the tell-tale signs I should replace my existing gutters rather than just repair them?
Consider full replacement if you notice: 1) repeated leaks at seams despite patching, 2) visible rust, cracks, or holes, 3) gutters pulling away from fascia or sagging in the middle, 4) peeling paint or water stains on exterior walls, 5) pooling water around the foundation after rain, 6) timber fascia rot behind the gutter. These issues indicate structural failure or undersized capacity, and repairs will likely be short-lived.
How much does a complete gutter replacement cost in Kelso?
Pricing depends on linear-metreage, material choice, and roof height, but for an average single-storey home with 60 m of guttering you can expect: • Aluminum: $2,800–$3,600, • Colorbond® steel: $3,400–$4,200, • Copper: $6,500+. The quote we provide is fixed-price and includes removal of old gutters, supply and installation of new gutters, downpipes, labour, disposal fees, and GST. We also perform a free roof-edge inspection and include minor fascia repairs if needed.
How long will installation take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Most single-storey residences are completed in one day; two-storey or complex roofs may require two. We start with a brief site setup, remove existing gutters section by section to avoid exposing roof edges for long periods, and install the new system the same day. Our crew uses ground-level drop cloths and magnetic sweepers to keep your property clean, and you do not need to be home all day—just provide access to power and water.
Do you provide warranties or ongoing maintenance after installation?
Yes. Materials carry manufacturer warranties of 20–30 years (lifetime for copper), and we back our workmanship with a 10-year labor guarantee. If a seam leaks, a bracket loosens, or a downpipe blocks due to installation fault, we return free of charge. We also offer an optional annual maintenance plan that includes gutter cleaning, inspection, and minor touch-ups at a discounted rate for Kelso customers.
