Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my gutters need to be replaced?

Common signs you may need gutter replacement include:

  • Sagging or pulling away from the house
  • Cracks or visible holes
  • Rust or corrosion
  • Water overflowing during rain
  • Water pooling around your foundation
  • Separated Seams
  • Frequent leaks
  • If your gutters are more than 15–20 years old or have recurring issues, replacement is often more cost-effective than ongoing repairs.

For Vermont’s heavy snow and ice conditions, we typically recommend:

  • 5” or 6” seamless aluminum gutters
  • Heavy-duty hidden hangers
  • Proper pitch for drainage
  • Optional gutter guards

Seamless gutters perform best in Vermont because they have fewer joints where leaks and ice damage can occur.

Vermont Gutter Company provides comprehensive gutter services including installation, replacement, repair, cleaning, and maintenance for residential and commercial properties. We also install gutter guards and custom drainage solutions to protect your home from water damage year-round.

With Vermont’s heavy snow, ice, and seasonal rainfall, a properly functioning gutter system is essential. Gutters direct water away from your roof, siding, foundation, and landscaping—preventing issues like basement flooding, erosion, wood rot, and ice dams.

We install high-quality aluminum seamless gutters, copper gutters, and custom-fit systems designed to handle Vermont’s climate. Seamless gutters are especially popular because they reduce leaks and require less maintenance.

We recommend cleaning gutters at least twice per year—typically in the spring and fall. Homes surrounded by trees may require more frequent cleaning. Regular maintenance helps prevent clogs, ice buildup, and costly repairs.

Yes. While proper insulation and ventilation are key factors, well-maintained gutters and drainage systems can help reduce ice dam formation by allowing melting snow to drain properly.
