Signs gutters need attention
Watch for overflow, sagging runs, rust, leaks at corners, water marks on siding, washed-out landscaping, fascia rot, and water pooling near the foundation. These are signs the drainage system is not keeping up.
Why gutters and roofing should be reviewed together
Drip edge, shingles, fascia, soffit, and gutters all meet at the roof edge. If one is wrong, water can move behind the gutter or into wood components instead of draining away.
What to consider before installation
A good gutter plan considers roof area, downspout placement, pitch, tree coverage, old fascia condition, and whether gutter guards make sense for the property.
