Are you replacing your roof and wondering if it’s time to replace your gutters too?
If it is time to replace your gutters, you may be wondering if the same roofing company can replace them along with your roof.
We get asked these questions all the time as a seamless gutter company. The answers aren’t as straightforward as you think. The answers depend on a few key factors.
Do Your Gutters Really Need to Be Replaced?
The first thing to consider is your gutters’ overall condition and age. If your gutter system is prone to leaks and is dented or sagging beyond repair, it might be time for an upgrade. How often you should replace your gutters depends on the style and material of your gutters, among a variety of other things. There are many signs that indicate it might be time to replace your gutters.
Can Your Roof and Gutters Be Replaced at The Same Time?
If you’ve determined that your gutters do need to be replaced, there are a few things that you should know before you move forward.
First, your roof should be replaced before you install new gutters. Regardless of what roofing company you are working with, they should not remove your gutters during the roof replacement. In other words, installing new gutters is an entirely separate project from replacing your roof. The work will not begin on your gutters until after the roof is complete.
Once your new roof is installed, your home will be ready to proceed with the gutter replacement. Many roofing companies also offer gutter replacement services. Some even have gutter divisions that specialize in gutter replacement or subcontract to a local gutter company. Both of these are good signs because you can be sure that an experienced contractor will be replacing your gutters.
However, it should be noted that some roofing companies will not be able to offer you the same level of quality or expertise that a gutter company will. Beware of the roofer who casually says they can “throw some gutters on there for you!” This may end up costing you more money down the line.
Are You Getting the Best Price Hiring the Roofing Company to Replace Your Gutters Too?
Even if your preferred roofing company does have a gutter division or subcontracts with a gutter company, you will want to shop around to ensure you’re getting a fair price on the gutter replacement. We recommend getting at least a couple of quotes from other gutter companies. Just because your roofing company does gutter replacements doesn’t mean they offer the best price. This is an essential step in ensuring you’re not being taken advantage of or paying more than you need to.
