Several signs indicate it’s time for new gutters rather than repairs: visible rust or corrosion, multiple leaks or separating joints, sagging sections, and gutters pulling away from your roofline. If you’re seeing water damage around your foundation or basement moisture issues, your current system isn’t doing its job.
Age is another factor. Gutters exposed to Long Island’s salt air and weather conditions typically need replacement every 15-20 years. If you’re dealing with frequent clogs, overflowing during moderate rainfall, or visible wear that affects your home’s appearance, replacement often makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs.
We provide honest assessments of your current system’s condition and help you understand whether repair or replacement better protects your East Islip property investment.
