Exterior Services
Gutter installation
New gutters should be sized, sloped and supported for the roof area and discharge route. Downspouts must move water away without overloading lower roofs, walkways or foundation drainage.
Best next step
Match the scope to the condition
The layout should solve water movement first; colour and profile come after capacity and discharge.
Condition review
What the inspection needs to establish
Measure roof drainage areas, valleys, existing outlets, fascia condition, discharge points and site grading.
- Undersized outlets
- Poor slope
- Long runs with too few downspouts
- Fasteners into damaged fascia
- Discharge onto lower roof details

What should be settled before work begins?
The quote should state profile, material, gauge where relevant, hangers, outlets, downspouts, elbows, leaf protection and disposal. In the written record for gutter installation, access, weather limits, property protection and authority for concealed-condition changes should be written down before the start date.
