Do Your Gutters Overflow? It May Be Time to Replace Your Gutters.

When homeowners think about roofing, gutters often get overlooked. But the truth is, your gutters play a crucial role in protecting your entire home—just like your roof. At Nest Exteriors, we often recommend considering gutter replacement alongside your new roof. Here’s why proper gutter systems matter, and how to know when it's time for an upgrade.

Why Gutters Are So Important

Your gutters guide water safely away from your home, protecting:

  • Foundation from erosion and cracks
  • Basement from flooding
  • Roof edges and fascia boards from rot
  • Siding from mold and water stains

Poorly functioning gutters can lead to costly, hidden damage that affects your home's entire structure.

Signs Your Gutters Need Replacement

Not sure if your gutters are up to par? Look for these common warning signs:

  • Sagging or Pulling Away: Gutters detaching from your home indicate deterioration or improper support.
  • Rust or Visible Holes: Leaky, rusted gutters no longer protect your home.
  • Overflowing Water: Water spilling over the sides means gutters may be clogged, undersized, or improperly pitched.
  • Pooling Around Foundation: Indicates gutters aren't effectively diverting water away.
  • Cracked or Split Gutters: These issues worsen quickly and cause leaks.
  • Peeling Paint or Rot on Fascia: Directly related to poor gutter function.

How Old or Damaged Gutters Affect Your Roof

A new roof is only as effective as the gutter system supporting it. Poor drainage can:

  • Create water backups that seep under shingles, causing leaks.
  • Allow water to run behind siding, causing hidden rot.
  • Accelerate wear on shingles at roof edges and valleys.

Replacing gutters at the same time as your roof ensures a cohesive, fully protective exterior system.
