Why You Should Consider Replacing Your Gutters During a Roof Replacement

When you’re investing in a project as significant as a roof replacement at your property, it’s important that you take the steps necessary to have it done right. What you might not realize is that can mean more than just focusing on the roofing material, underlayment, and ventilation, and it can be about more than just the roofing company you’re working with. Rather, it’s worthwhile to consider replacing your gutters during your roof replacement as well. After all, your gutters play a crucial role in protecting your property from water damage, and ensuring that your gutter system works in conjunction with your new roof is a wise endeavor so that you can protect against water damage for a long time to come.

Your New Roof & Upgraded Gutters Can Work Together for the Health of Your Property

You surely know the purpose of your property’s gutter system, as it’s designed to channel water away from your roof and the foundation in order to prevent leaks and structural damage. Well, when you replace your gutters at the same time you’re replacing your roof, you’ll be giving your new system a better chance to carry out its function effectively. Not only that, but new gutters and a new roof can be mutually beneficial to each other. A failing gutter system can undermine the benefits of a new roof and even be more likely to cause damage to it. On the other hand, new gutters paired with a new roof can ensure a seamless integration both functionally and aesthetically. The end result can ultimately be better protection against water damage and improved drainage.

Why Preventing Water Damage & Improving Drainage Should Be a High Priority

When you leave your old gutters alone while installing a new roof, you could very well be setting that new roof up for failure. After all, old or damaged gutters are more vulnerable to leaking, which can in turn impact your roof. Gutters that aren’t properly carrying water out and away from your property can lead to water damage to your roof, soffit, fascia, and the foundation of your property itself.

Meanwhile, with a new, properly installed gutter system, you can count on better water management and more effective performance. In other words, when heavy rain comes your way, you won’t have to worry so much about leakage and what the storm might be doing to your roof. Instead, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your gutters are working effectively and protecting your new roof from water damage.

Combining Your Gutter Replacement With Your Roof Replacement Is More Efficient

Beyond the benefits of ensuring that your new roof and new gutters are working in conjunction with one another, investing in a gutter replacement at the same time as a roof replacement is simply an efficient choice. That way, you’ll likely be on the same schedule for roof and gutter maintenance—and eventually replacement needs.
