Gutters in Philadelphia metro

Gutters, downspouts and guards, and where the water actually goes.

Gutters decide where the roof water ends up, and 3 of the 197 roofers listed in Philadelphia metro do gutter work.

At a glance

  • A downspout ending at the foundation moves a wet basement problem, it does not fix it.
  • Guards reduce cleaning. None of them end it.
  • Seamless gutters are formed on site, so the only joints are at the corners.
  • Five inch handles most houses. A large steep roof may need six.

Common questions

How often should gutters be cleaned

Twice a year on a house with trees over it, once in late fall at a minimum.

Are gutter guards worth it

On a house under trees they cut down how often somebody is on a ladder. They do not make the gutter maintenance free.
