Having new gutters installed doesn’t have to be difficult. Read on to find out the basics of choosing a new one:
Type and design
These come in plenty of profile types and sizes. You’ll likely see a lot of profiles in U shape and K style, says Home Tips. Choose among channels that are 4 or 5 or even 6 inches in diameter and make sure you buy downspouts that match that are a perfect match for those sizes. Tip: Don’t try to go for the smallest channels. Debris buildup is going to be a problem and larger systems work much better since these don’t clog up too easily.
Mounting systems
You’ll need straps and brackets along with hangers to put new gutters in place. However, it depends on what’s available to you. A hidden hanger method might work but comes with its own set of cons. Screwing a hanger to the rafter tail is another option. But if that’s not possible, then contractors might need to use a strap. A crossbar hanger might also be used. Talk to your contractor for options to know which one best fits your home and roof.
Materials
Copper and stainless steel types, seamless systems, vinyl and aluminum and steel types—these are different types you can choose from. Weigh the pros and cons of going for each one. Which materials will prove durable and budget-friendly? Make sure you don’t sacrifice quality for cost-savings. Cheap options never make for excellent results. That’s only going to mean more repairs and problems down the road—all of which you could avoid easily enough if you went for the right material right from the get-go.
