The 4-1-1

First, consider the whole scope of your project. Replacing your gutters may not mean only that, but may also include refacing some of your siding, or even some parts of your roof. When an expert roof installer comes to check out the damage and assess all that will need to occur to get your gutters replaced and back to brand-new, they are going to be looking at the whole picture. Does the fascia and soffit wood need replacing also? Is there trim board or crown molding that was nailed to the fascia beneath the shingles that will need replaced or adjusted? Be sure that whatever estimate you get from a contractor takes all of these things into consideration.

Next, know what to expect. So you’ve chosen the best Passaic County Gutter Replacement company and they’ve arrived right on time for the job. You are glad to have that checked off the honey-do list, but want to know what to expect for this whole process. Here are the basic steps you will most likely see your roofing and gutter replacement specialist take:

Measure the house perimeter. This may have been done prior to the day of the project beginning, but either way, it will have to have been done. The contractor will also be taking assessment of any downspouts in the area and, as an expert, may be able to eyeball how much will be needed for those as well.
Removal of the old gutter. This one is pretty obvious, and removal and disposal of the old gutter and pieces should have also been included in any estimate you were given.
Repair of any roofing or siding that may need to happen before installing the new gutter. This will include that fascia and soffit we mentioned earlier in this article. If your home doesn’t have fascia boards, you most likely have some type of special mounting straps or roof hangers in place. These will also need to be removed and replaced.
Cutting and joining of any gutter parts. This will most likely be occurring at the ground level and later installed on ladders by the crew. During this process you will most likely also see some men (or women) cutting holes in the gutter base for the downspout tubes as appropriate and as needed.
Next, the workers will be hanging your gutters at just a small slope. The tilt of your rain gutters shouldn’t be visible to the untrained eye, but will certainly keep the water from your roof running down to the spouts and not clogging and sitting stagnant in the middle of your gutters!
And finally, your brand new Passaic County gutter replacement job will be completed with any flashing, hidden hangers, and the downspouts.
