If you find that you’re consistently needing repair for your gutters, it may be the right time to install new gutters. Gutters with 6 or more areas of cracks, holes, and/or rust spots may be better off replaced. If you’re noticing broken fasteners, nails/screws on the ground, and/or overall separation, installation may be the solution.
Well-built gutters typically last for 20 years; if you know that your gutters are older than this, it may be time for gutter replacement. Consult with a gutter specialist before making a decision.
