The Right Time to Get Your Home Gutters Replaced

Even if a gutter system is warranted to last around 20 years with regular care and maintenance, it can still get into unexpected problems that will need immediate attention. Delaying a gutter repair or replacement will only damage your roof over time, which can lead to more costly repairs. But even if you think your gutters look okay for now, you might need to have them checked occasionally by a professional to ensure it’s in their best condition.

If you’re not sure whether you should get your gutters fully replaced, our roofing and seamless gutter experts Deschutes Roofing share what you need to consider before replacement:

When You’re Planning to Sell Your Home

A good way to attract more potential buyers is to renovate your home’s exterior. This may also be needed if your roof and gutters are near the end of their lifespan. A newly installed roof and a gutter system will also raise your home’s property value and make it more appealing, which will help get your home sold faster. You’ll also get more than half of what you invested in your home renovation!

When You’re Getting a Roof Replacement, Replace the Gutters

If you’re planning to replace your old roof, then you should also consider getting your gutters replaced. If your current gutters were installed around the same time as your roof, you can expect it to look old and deteriorated as well. You may also consider getting seamless gutters for your installation, as these will last longer and will be less likely to develop leaks over time.

When the Season Is Right for Home Gutter Replacement

Depending on where you live, some seasons are more ideal for a gutter replacement than others. You wouldn’t want to get your gutters installed during the winter season, simply because the snow and cold temperatures make it almost impossible for contractors to get it done. It’s better to have your gutters checked during spring for any debris and clogging, and then consider a replacement during summer. 

Checking your gutters during one season and having them replaced during another can often be more convenient. Not only will the snow thaw during spring,  but you’ll also get more frequent rain showers so you can check if your gutters are still in good condition. And if you think that you need repairs or a replacement, you can have it done during summer. Usually, you get fewershowers during summer, making it ideal to replace your gutters or do other renovations to your home.
