The one job your gutters have should be to convey rainwater away from your roof and property so it doesn’t cause larger problems outside. When gutters begin to leak or overflow, or pull away from the fascia, become clogged with debris, or fail to direct water in the right direction, professional intervention can help keep the problem from turning into a costly mess.

RH Renovation NYC offers gutter repair, gutter replacement with new gutters, gutter cleaning and gutter guard installation in Edgewater Park and the Bronx. Our solution is to not just patch obvious gutters issues. The gutter system is assessed in conjunction with the roof edge, fascia, downspouts and drainage system to ensure that the solution provided is tackling the root cause of the issue.

Proper water management on the exterior of a home is especially crucial for homeowners living in waterfront residential areas such as Edgewater Park, which is located in the Bronx’s 10465 area.

If you notice that your gutters are widely damaged, they are failing over and over again, or they simply are not the right type for your home, you may be better off getting them replaced than repaired.

RH Renovation NYC also offers gutter installation and replacement, and assesses the roof line and current drainage system to suggest a solution. It has instructions for evaluating existing gutters, roof edge and fascia boards; options for replacement; roof-line measurements; selection of the gutter size to use; installing the gutters at the right pitch and fastened securely to the roof; positioning the downspouts; and testing the completed system.

The type of gutter system to be employed is not just a matter of selecting an off-the-shelf product but depends on the property. Factors can include:

The roof is not too small or too large, and is not too complex or too simple.

• Roof pitch and runoff
• Gutter length
• The total number of downspouts and where they are located.
• Existing fascia condition
• Roof-to-gutter relationship
• Existing drainage problems
• Building design
• Specifications of Materials and Appearance
• Maintenance expectations

Gutter guards are created to block a lot of leaves and other debris from getting into a gutter system. Gutter Guard installation is one of the gutter services offered by RH Renovation NYC.

Don’t mistake a gutter guard for a needless inspection or maintenance. Each guard is different in performance and works best with certain debris, roof set-up and existing gutters.

It is useful to see if the gutters are pitched correctly, properly attached, and in good condition, before installing the guards. A guard over a leaking or clogged gutter won’t fix the leak or clog.

If a homeowner is considering whether guards are worth it or not, he or she should ask:

• How often do gutters clog up?
• Does the existing rain gutter system appear structurally sound?
• What is in the gutter that’s causing the clog?
• Do the downspouts drip correctly?
• Would guards need to be added before repair/replacement?

There are several trust signals that can be verified that are relevant to exterior work in RH Renovation’s company published information.

According to the company, it has been a servicing company for New York since 2004, is a GAF Master Elite® contractor and is licensed and insured. It is published with Bronx license # DCWP #2118142 and Westchester license # WC-35985-H22. The company also has a GAF Residential Roofing Certified Contractor ID #1143942.

It also adds a few exterior services such as roofing, gutters, skylights, chimney services and siding, which can be helpful if a problem with the gutters is related to another exterior envelope component.

According to RH Renovation NYC, the process starts with a no-cost estimate of the project in the customer’s home, and ends with a detailed report in writing.

The company has also given records of gutters in the Bronx. It has published a City Island project which included replacing the gutter system of an existing roof, siding and dormer.

Some evidence points are helpful because the performance of the gutter is related to the roof edge, fascia, drainage and other exterior components, which are not a standalone product.

How do I know if my gutters need repair or replacement?

Leaks, sagging, separation, corrosion and localized damage may be repairable. Extensive deterioration or repeated failures may make replacement more practical. An assessment is the best way to distinguish between the two.

How often should gutters be cleaned?

The appropriate frequency depends on the amount of surrounding vegetation, roof configuration and debris accumulation. Gutters should be inspected when overflow or blockage becomes apparent rather than relying on a universal schedule.

Are gutter guards worth installing?

They can reduce debris entering the gutter system, but they are not a substitute for a properly designed, functioning gutter and downspout system. Existing damage should be addressed first.

Can you repair downspouts too?

RH Renovation NYC’s published gutter service information includes downspout replacement, repair and maintenance.

Can gutter problems cause water damage?

Yes. Overflowing or poorly directed water can contribute to problems around the roof edge, exterior walls, landscaping and foundation. The exact source of water should be identified before selecting a repair.

Do you provide gutter installation estimates?

RH Renovation NYC states that it provides free estimates for its exterior services.

Should I repair my gutters before installing gutter guards?

Usually, the existing system should first be assessed for damage, alignment, pitch and drainage. A guard cannot correct a structurally damaged or improperly functioning gutter.
