New gutters are not just about how your home looks — although new gutters do clean up a roofline. They are about getting water away from your home. A properly installed gutter system carries rain off the roof, down, and away from your foundation, where it cannot rot your fascia, stain your siding, flood your basement, or wash out your landscaping.
Full replacement vs. a brand-new install
- Replacement means your old gutters and downspouts come down and a new system goes up — the right call when the old system is rusted, cracked, sagging in multiple places, or simply at the end of its life.
- New installation means adding a complete system where there is none, or a newly built addition or outbuilding that needs gutters for the first time.
Either way, the process starts with a free estimate: measuring your roofline, checking the fascia boards the gutters mount to, planning downspout placement, and giving you a written price.
What a typical installation includes
- Removal and disposal of the old gutters (for replacements)
- New seamless gutters, formed on-site to your home's exact measurements
- Downspouts placed to move water away from the foundation
- Hangers and fasteners rated for the system
- Sealed corners and end caps
- A final check that water flows to the downspouts the way it should
Aluminum: the standard choice
Most Hanover homes use aluminum gutters. Aluminum does not rust, handles Pennsylvania winters and heavy spring rain well, comes in many colors to match your trim, and costs less than premium metals like copper. Your contractor will go over sizes — standard 5-inch gutters suit most homes, while 6-inch gutters handle more water on large or steep roofs.
