If you are planning on replacing your roof soon, you might have thought about replacing your gutters as well. While there are certainly advantages to replacing both at the same time, it still ultimately depends on the overall state of your gutters. We discuss more about that here.
Without a functioning rain gutter system, there is a good chance that your home will be subjected to overflows and all sorts of water-related problems, such as a flooded basement, eroded soil or damaged foundation. When this happens, your property will suffer from structural damage that can be expensive and time-consuming to fix. So when is the best time to replace your gutters? Well, if your gutters look badly damaged or are in frequent need of repair, it is high time you have them replaced with new ones. Cracks, rust marks and sagging are also telltale signs that you need new gutters.
Some homeowners opt to have new gutters installed when they get a new roof, even if there is nothing seriously wrong with their current gutters. This is because getting both jobs done at once tends to be the more cost-effective route, allowing the homeowner to save money on labor costs. However, replacing your roof and gutters at the same time is not a hard-and-fast rule. Sometimes, repairs are all that are needed to address your gutter issues, which allows you to get the most out of the service life of your gutters.
