Proper Preparation When Installing New Gutters
If you’ve noticed that your gutters have begun to sag, rust, or look like they’re ready to fall, it’s time to install new gutters in your home. As with any new home improvement project, a little preparation goes a long way. Here are 4 tips for preparing your home for new gutter installation:
Research Different Gutters
One of the first steps you need to take is to analyze the different types of gutters available and which would be best for your home. While some homeowners may know exactly what type of gutter they want to have installed, it’s not necessary to have this information when you call.
Remove Old Gutters
In most cases, gutter removal is best left to professionals since this can be a dangerous task, especially if you’ve never done it before. However, if you have experience in this area or have removed gutters before it’s best to remove gutters and dispose of them prior to installation. For everyone else, our team will take care of the gutter removal to ensure there are no accidents or damage done to your home.
Check for Water Damage
Checking your soffits and fascia for water damage is one of the most important steps for preparing for an installation of a new gutter. Once your old gutters have been removed, this is a great opportunity to inspect your home’s soffits and fascia boards for signs of mold, mildew, and rotting wood.
Repaint Your House
While you may want to wait until your new gutters have been installed to paint your home, you should actually paint prior to installation. Not only does this ensure the most efficient installation job, but it also protects your home from sustaining more damage before the new gutters arrive. This is also a great time to install new siding if that is in your future home remodeling plans.
