Gutters are an integral part of your home’s well-being. They shield your siding, foundation, replacement windows and other vulnerable components of your exterior against the ill effects of water damage. With their constant exposure to severe conditions, however, you can expect wear and tear on the system over time. If you notice any of these signs, Hinkle Roofing can provide you with a quality replacement:
- Visible rust spots – If you can see visible rust spots on your gutter from the ground, contact the experts at Hinkle Roofing immediately. If left unattended, the rust could develop into holes. When this happens, we can conduct professional repairs. If the damage is too severe, we highly recommend installing a new system.
- Bubbling or peeling paint – If you see bubbles or prematurely peeling paint, it means water has penetrated the paint layer and has already made contact with the metal. Installing new gutters will keep your exterior looking great.
- Stressed seams – Gutters traditionally have seams every 10 feet. Signs of stress include seams starting to separate or gutters bending at the same points. We can fix minor cases by re-applying the seams or re-attaching the hangers. For extreme cases, we will install a full replacement. Consider investing in seamless gutters to eliminate this problem.
- Cracks – Small holes can develop into cracks that could cause overflows onto your surrounding landscape. The water can also pond around the foundation, weakening it over time. If you notice this problem, have your gutters inspected professionally by an expert like us.
- Rotten fascia – Gutter hangers are typically nailed to your roof’s wooden fascia. Improper installation and/or loose nails can expose the wood to moisture and rot over time, softening the material. When this happens, you might have to replace the fascia along with your old gutters.
As soon as you spot any of these signs, turn to Hinkle Roofing right away for a smooth and worry-free gutter replacement. We can keep your system in top shape with timely repairs.
