Frequently Asked Questions

Gutters are essential for directing rainwater away from your home's foundation, preventing water damage, erosion, and basement flooding.

Common gutter types include seamless (aluminum), sectional (aluminum, steel, vinyl), half-round, and K-style gutters.

It's generally recommended to clean your gutters at least twice a year, typically in the spring and fall, to remove leaves, debris, and prevent clogs. If you have many trees around your home, you may need to clean them more frequently.

Gutter guards are screens or covers installed over your gutters to prevent leaves and debris from entering and causing clogs, reducing the need for frequent cleaning.

Signs that you might need new gutters include visible rust or damage, sagging or pulling away from the house, frequent clogs despite regular cleaning, and leaks or overflowing during rain.
