Gutter Repair or Gutter Replacement?
The following are common signs that you need to replace your existing gutter system with a New Gutter System:
​
​Separated gutters: If your gutter system is separating time and time again and its not staying put in a continuous channel, it may be time for a gutter replacement (see pics below).

​
Broken Hangers/Fasteners: They are a metal hardware that hold your gutters to the fascia board. If you manage to repair a few hangers/fasteners that's great! But if the problem continues the gutters might be the problem. And it's time to replace your existing gutter system.
​
​
Nails or screws on the ground: Replacing them isn't difficult , but this might also be a sign that your fascia board is rotting or you have an outdated gutter system. (See pic below of outdated gutter system installed using spikes instead of hidden aluminum hangers)

​
Sagging or Improperly-pitched/sloped gutter: It is very important that your gutters are sloped properly as that will assure that the water is draining out the downspout correctly without putting too much weight on a specific section of your gutter. Eventually with time it will cause your gutters to sag or pull way from fascia (see pics below).
