When is it best to replace gutters and downspouts? (MD VA DC)Posted by: homevisions on Dec 27, 2011   |

In most cases it is a good idea to replace gutters and downspouts when re-siding a home. This is not to say that you could not replace your gutters when you have your roof replaced, but consider a few key details when making this decision.
For starters, what is the condition of the fascia board behind the gutter? If you have exposed wood as many homeowners do, you should strongly consider capping the fascia board prior to rehanging the gutters. This maximizes protection from rain and prevents the need for annual painting and maintenance.
If fascia capping or fascia board replacement is required, it is best to call a siding expert. Most roofers do not have the tools required to properly cap the fascia precisely.
