FAQs

The Gutter Connection
  • Why should I choose seamless gutters over sectional ones?

    Seamless gutters are fabricated on-site and custom-fit to your roofline, which removes the seams and joints where leaks, corrosion, and debris blockages commonly occur.
  • What size gutters do I need (5-inch vs. 6-inch)?

    A 5-inch gutter works well for standard pitched roofs, while 6-inch oversized gutters manage 40% more water flow—making them perfect for steep roofs, metal roofing, or properties with substantial tree coverage.
  • Do gutter guards really eliminate the need to clean gutters?

    Quality micro-mesh gutter guards significantly cut down on maintenance by preventing pine needles, leaves, and debris from entering your gutters, so you'll only need occasional surface cleaning instead of frequent deep cleanings.
  • How far should downspouts extend from my foundation?

    Downspouts should extend at least 4 to 6 feet from your foundation or connect to an underground drainage system to help prevent basement flooding, foundation issues, and soil erosion.
  • How do I know if I have hail or storm damage if my roof isn't actively leaking?

    Hail impact damages the fiberglass mat beneath shingles and removes protective granules, which speeds up UV deterioration and reduces your roof's lifespan well before visible interior leaks develop.
  • Do you help with the insurance claim process?

    Yes—we provide thorough damage documentation, photographic evidence, and meet with your insurance adjuster on-site to make sure all repair items are properly accounted for.
  • What is the difference between an architectural shingle and a 3-tab shingle?

    Architectural shingles are thicker and heavier, offer twice the wind resistance (up to 130 mph), and come with longer manufacturer warranties than standard flat 3-tab shingles.
  • How long does an installation take?

    Most residential seamless gutter projects are completed in half a day to one full day, while complete roof replacements generally take one day, depending on weather conditions.
  • Are estimates free?

    Yes, we provide completely free on-site estimates with no obligation and clear pricing details.
  • What warranties do you offer?

    We back our workmanship with a 3-year, no-leak gutter warranty.
