1. No Gutters

If you have recently bought a home or if you live in a home that doesn’t currently have gutters, you need to have them installed as soon as possible. Some older homes don't have gutters, and sometimes homeowners get damaged gutters removed but never replace them. Regardless of the reason for a lack of gutters, it’s your responsibility as the homeowner to ensure that gutters are properly installed to protect the roof, siding, and foundation of your home.

2. Damaged Gutters

Gutters can be damaged for several reasons. They may get blown off during storms, hit by cars backing out of the driveway, or knocked loose for other reasons. If gutters are damaged to the point that they can no longer function properly, they'll need to be repaired or replaced. Inspecting your gutters should be a regular part of your home maintenance. You can usually tell if gutters are damaged by simply giving them a visual inspection, as damage is usually pretty obvious. Keep in mind that if you postpone a new gutter installation or repairs, the damage will only get worse and become more expensive to fix.

3. Updated Exterior

Another reason you might want to consider putting in new gutters would be if you have done updates or upgrades to the exterior of the home. Gutters come in many colors, designs, and materials, and you want the gutters to flow cohesively with the rest of the home’s exterior. Be sure to speak with local gutter professionals in your area to discuss the different options you have when it comes to installation. They'll be able to advise you on which types of gutters would work well with the exterior of your home.
