UNDERSTANDING WHEN YOUR GUTTERS NEED REPLACEMENT
Your gutter system is a critical part of your home’s defense against water damage. Knowing when it’s time to replace can save you thousands in repairs.
At New Old Remodeling, we’ve seen how neglected gutters lead to:
- Foundation cracks
- Basement flooding
- Rotting fascia boards
- Exterior wall damage
Signs your gutters may need replacement:
- Visible sagging or pulling away from the home
- Rust spots, cracks, or splits in the material
- Water pooling around your foundation after rain
- Peeling paint or mildew on exterior walls
While aluminum gutters typically last 20–30 years and copper can last 50+ years, severe weather in Greater Charlotte Area can shorten that lifespan. Regular professional inspections are key.
THE COMPREHENSIVE GUTTER REPLACEMENT PROCESS
When you choose New Old Remodeling, we start with a full evaluation of your roofline and drainage system. We:
- Measure precise angles
- Calculate optimal pitch (¼ inch slope per 10 feet) for efficient water flow
- Ensure downspouts are positioned to prevent standing water
Old gutters are removed with care to avoid damaging fascia boards. If we find rot or damage, we repair or replace the fascia and soffit before installation.
Our mission is simple: protect your home while delivering superior craftsmanship and personalized service that enhances both function and value.
