FAQs
What makes heavy-gauge aluminum a smart choice for roofing and gutter replacements in Oakdale?
Heavy-gauge (0.032–0.040 in.) aluminum offers the strength of steel with only a third of the weight, so it places far less stress on your rafters and fascia boards. It is naturally rust-proof, resists salt and acid rain, and carries a high reflectivity rating that helps lower summer cooling bills. Because Oakdale sees freeze–thaw cycles, aluminum’s flexibility is a plus—it can expand and contract without cracking joints or fasteners.
How well does heavy-gauge aluminum stand up to Oakdale’s snow, ice, and wind?
Properly installed 0.040-in. panels are rated for winds over 120 mph and have a Class 4 hail impact rating. The baked-on Kynar 500® or Hylar 5000® finish sheds snow quickly, minimizing ice-damming. Unlike steel, aluminum will not corrode when road salt spray or melting ice mixes with gutters. Many Oakdale homeowners see 40–50 years of leak-free service with only minimal maintenance.
Will new aluminum gutters integrate with my existing roof, or should I replace both at once?
We can tie new heavy-gauge aluminum gutters into most shingle, cedar, or metal roofs as long as the drip-edge is sound. However, if your roof is more than 20 years old or shows signs of curling, missing shingles, or rusted fasteners, we usually recommend a simultaneous roof-and-gutter project. Doing both together ensures the flashing, underlayment, and leaf-guard screens are installed as one watertight system—and it often saves 10–15 % compared to two separate jobs.
How long does a typical heavy-gauge aluminum roof and gutter replacement take in Oakdale?
A standard 2,000-sq-ft Oakdale residence with 250 linear feet of gutters usually takes three to four days: one day for tear-off and deck inspection, one to two days to install the aluminum panels, trims, and snow guards, and a final half-day for seamless gutter fabrication, downspouts, and site clean-up. Weather delays are rare because aluminum can be installed in colder temperatures without risk of shingle damage.
What maintenance will my new aluminum roof and gutters require?
Maintenance is simple: inspect and clear the gutters each spring and fall, rinse the panels with a garden hose if pollen builds up, and trim back overhanging branches to prevent abrasion. Silicone-free fasteners and sealed rivets mean no annual caulking. Our Oakdale service team offers a low-cost maintenance package that includes an infrared scan of seams every five years.
What warranties and financing options are available for heavy-gauge aluminum roofing and gutters?
You’ll receive a 35-year manufacturer’s finish warranty against chalk and fade, a lifetime warranty against perforation, and our 15-year workmanship guarantee covering leaks, loose panels, and gutter slope. We partner with local Oakdale credit unions to offer 0 % financing for 12 months or fixed rates as low as 4.99 % for up to 120 months, with no prepayment penalties.
