A new roof protects the home from above, but gutters protect the roof edge, siding, foundation, and landscaping by moving water away. If the gutters are failing, replacing the roof without addressing drainage can leave a major exterior weakness in place. RG reviews both roofing and gutter replacement needs when water management is part of the concern.
Signs gutters should be replaced during a roof project
Consider replacing gutters when they are leaking at seams, pulling away from fascia, sagging, undersized, dented from storms, overflowing during rain, or sending water toward siding or the foundation. If gutter problems contributed to roof edge damage, the two projects should be reviewed together.
Why timing matters
Roof replacement is already a major exterior project. Coordinating gutters at the same time can reduce disruption and help ensure the roof edge, fascia, drip edge, and drainage details work together properly.
Storm damage can affect both systems
Hail and wind can damage shingles, vents, gutters, downspouts, and siding during the same storm. If your gutters are dented or loose after severe weather, RG can inspect related storm damage roof and exterior concerns.
