Did you know that Deegan Roofing also manages Union County gutter replacement? Deegan Roofing is the number one roofing, siding, and gutter specialist in New Jersey! Here we will look at some sure signs that you are in need of a new gutter!
Union County Gutter Replacement – It’s time.
It’s been over twenty years, or over fifty!
The standard home gutter system should last about twenty years. Whether your new home is approaching twenty, or you know that the gutters were last replaced about that long ago, galvanized steel or aluminum gutters will probably be in need of replacement at that time. If your gutters are copper, you are probably lucky enough to have up to fifty years before you need to be considering a replacement!
Exterior Damage
If your gutters are showing signs of wear including rust spots, holes, or cracks, your gutter is most likely in need of replacement. Though a few of these damages can be easily repaired, if you have more than six different locations that would need patching or replaced, you are better off to go ahead and replace the whole thing!
Gutter Alignment/Separation
If your gutters are pulling away from the side of your roof or if they are separating from each other, they are definitely in need of replacement! Gutters will only function properly if they are connected. In addition, if the gutters start to pull away from your roof, there is a chance of your fascia boards being rotted. If you see that your gutters are pulling away from the side of your roof or are separated from each other, call Deegan Roofing right away!
Fasteners – Not so Fastened
When it comes to gutters, the fasteners are extremely important! These little pieces of metal hold the gutter to the roof and keep it good and level. While a few fasteners that are broken off can be replaced, a gutter in need of replacement will keep those fasteners breaking again and again. If this is happening to you, it’s time for a new gutter!
Watch your Step!
If you’re noticing nails or screws from your gutter on the ground, watch your step – and call for a gutter inspection! The screws and nails support your gutters and keeping them securely anchored in to the fascia will work themselves loose over time, but it is also a sign that you are in need of a new gutter altogether! Especially if this seems to be a repeated problem, call a professional!
