FAQs
Why are seamless gutters important for year-round protection in Townsend’s climate?
Townsend experiences four true seasons—snowy winters, spring downpours, summer thunderstorms, and leaf-heavy autumns. Seamless aluminum or copper gutters eliminate the sectional joints where leaks, clogs, and ice dams usually start. By channeling melt-water, heavy rain, and debris away from the roof and foundation without interruption, seamless systems prevent rot, basement flooding, and landscape erosion no matter the season.
How often should gutters be replaced in Townsend?
With routine cleanings, quality aluminum gutters typically last 20–25 years, while copper systems can exceed 40 years. Indicators that you need replacement include peeling paint on fascia boards, visible seams pulling apart, sagging runs, recurring ice dams, and water marks on siding or in the basement. Because Townsend’s freeze-thaw cycles accelerate wear, an inspection every 5–7 years helps determine the right timeline for your home.
What gutter materials and sizes do you offer for replacements?
We install 5" and 6" K-style seamless aluminum in 30+ baked-on colors, heavy-gauge copper for historic homes, and premium steel where extra strength is needed. All gutters are paired with 2"×3" or 3"×4" downspouts sized to your roof’s drainage area. We also offer stainless-steel or micromesh leaf guards to keep pine needles, oak leaves, and ice out of the system.
Can gutter replacement be done during winter or the rainy season?
Yes. Because we specialize in year-round protection, our crews are trained to work safely in cold or wet conditions. We use cold-weather sealants that cure below freezing and schedule installations around major storms. As long as the roof edge is clear of snow and ice, your project can proceed without waiting for spring, minimizing the risk of further water damage.
How will new gutters protect my roof, siding, and foundation?
A properly pitched, clog-free gutter system directs thousands of gallons of water per storm away from your home. This prevents shingle edge rot, discourages ice-dam formation, stops water from wicking behind siding, and eliminates the pooling that cracks foundations and invites mold. In short, new gutters form the first line of defense against water damage from roof to basement.
Do I need to replace gutters when installing a new roof?
If your existing gutters are near the end of their life or show signs of leaking, replacing them alongside your new roof is cost-effective. It ensures proper alignment with new drip-edge flashing and avoids having to bring back equipment later. However, if the gutters are structurally sound and less than 10–15 years old, we can detach, store, and re-install them after the roof is completed.
