Installation date matters when it comes to exterior home improvements like gutter replacement. In today’s post, local gutter and roofing company Tango & Gatti discuss the best time of the year to get new gutters installed.
Gutter replacement during the winter season is not unheard of, but you will need a skilled and experienced gutter contractor for the job. Extremely cold weather makes metals like galvanized steel less pliable, which can make cutting and fastening joints more difficult. A gutter installer will also have to carefully adjust for thermal expansion and contraction, and how it affects metals.
If your gutters need to be replaced during winter, look for a gutter repair and installation company that offers seamless gutters. Unlike traditional gutters made of pre-cut lengths of gutter trough, seamless gutters are crafted on site, which eliminates potential logistical issues like transporting large pieces of pre-cut metal. Seamless gutters require far fewer joints that can help shorten installation time.
Spring and summer are ideal for home improvements, thanks to mostly clear weather. This is why this period is considered peak season for contractors. If you are looking into having your gutter replaced during these seasons, you should start planning early on. Booking your gutter replacement months ahead will give you a better selection of available contractors and installation dates.
A lot of contractor bookings from summer spill over to early to mid-fall, making it like an extension of the peak season. Many homeowners will be doing their gutter cleaning and maintenance by late fall, so it might still feel like peak season during this time. The weather is a lot milder during this time, though, which makes this season ideal for outdoor home improvements.
Consider having a gutter protection system installed over your gutters. It prevents solid matter like leaves and debris from entering your gutters, keeping the troughs clear for rainwater. In addition to helping maintain gutter efficiency, gutter protection systems also help reduce gutter maintenance requirements and prolong its life span.
