FAQs
Why should I consider high-flow gutters for my Morristown home?
Morris County receives nearly 50 inches of precipitation a year—well above the national average. Standard 5-inch gutters can be overwhelmed during the intense downpours common in our area, causing water to spill over, erode landscaping, and leak into basements. High-flow (6-inch or larger) gutters move up to 40 % more water, directing it safely away from your foundation and preventing costly moisture damage. They also reduce the frequency of clogs because the wider trough and downspouts can pass debris that would choke a smaller system.
How do high-flow gutters differ from the regular gutters I already have?
High-flow systems are wider (typically 6 in.) and deeper than the standard 5-in. K-style gutters found on most homes. That extra inch may not sound like much, but it increases the cross-sectional area—and therefore water-carrying capacity—by about one-third. We also pair them with oversized 3 × 4-in. downspouts, so rainwater exits faster and is less likely to back up. Many high-flow gutters are fabricated from thicker (.032 or .040 gauge) aluminum for added rigidity, and the hangers are spaced closer together for strength under heavy loads of water or snow.
What are the signs that my gutters need to be replaced rather than just repaired?
• Visible rust, pitting, or pinhole leaks along the gutter bottom or seams • Sagging sections or gutters that pull away from the fascia—even after rehanging • Persistent overflow despite regular cleanings, indicating undersized capacity • Rotting fascia boards or peeling exterior paint caused by chronic water contact • Mold, mildew, or damp spots in the basement/crawl space just below gutter lines If you notice two or more of these symptoms, a full replacement with high-flow gutters is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
How long will a high-flow gutter replacement take on a typical Morristown residence?
For an average single-family home (150–250 linear feet of gutter), our crew can remove the old system and install new high-flow seamless aluminum gutters in one full day—often in 6–8 hours. Larger or historic homes with multiple rooflines, slate roofs, or copper gutters can take 1½–2 days. Because gutter work is exterior, no township building permit is required, so we can schedule your project quickly, weather permitting.
Do you offer color and material choices that match Morristown’s historic and contemporary homes?
Yes. Seamless aluminum high-flow gutters come in more than 30 baked-on enamel colors, including colonial whites, earth tones, and deep historic hues approved by the Morristown Historic Preservation Commission. We also fabricate 16-oz. copper gutters and downspouts for period-correct restorations. Homeowners can choose between K-style, half-round, or box profiles to complement architectural details. All color finishes carry a 20- to 50-year manufacturer’s warranty against fading and chalking.
What maintenance do high-flow gutters require, and can you add leaf protection?
Because high-flow gutters are larger, they can tolerate more debris, but they still need cleaning at least twice a year (spring and late fall). We recommend flushing the downspouts with a garden hose to ensure unobstructed flow. For homeowners who want a nearly maintenance-free option, we install premium micro-mesh guards that block leaves, pine needles, and asphalt shingle grit without impeding water entry. Adding guards typically reduces gutter cleaning to once every few years. Our installations include a 5-year workmanship warranty, and the guards themselves carry a lifetime no-clog guarantee.
