Common questions
How long do gutters last?
Aluminum gutters last about 20 years or more. Steel and vinyl differ, and clogs and ice can shorten their life.
Do I need 6 inch gutters?
Often a good idea for big roofs or steep pitches, since they carry more water. For small roofs, 5 inch is usually enough and costs a bit less.
Where should downspouts drain?
Several feet away from the foundation, onto sloped ground or into a drain pipe. Water near the basement wall can cause leaks.
