Eavestroughs/Gutters
In most cases, it's a good idea to replace your eavestroughs if you're installing new fascia and soffits. But it also depends on the condition of your existing gutters and how they are mounted.
Reasons to Replace Eavestroughs Along with Fascia and Soffits:
They’re Usually Attached to the Fascia:
Most eavestroughs (gutters) are screwed or nailed directly into the fascia board.
To install new fascia, the gutters must be removed — and once taken down, older eavestroughs often don’t go back up as well or cleanly.
Age and Condition:
If your eavestroughs are more than 15–20 years old, or showing signs of:Leaks
Sagging
Rust or corrosion
Bent sections
……then it’s not worth reinstalling them on brand new fascia and soffits.
Seamless Upgrade Opportunity:
New seamless aluminum eavestroughs look cleaner and are less prone to leaks.
Since your home is already undergoing exterior work, it’s efficient and cost-effective to do all at once — you save on labor.
Improved Drainage Design: Its also an opportunity to address long-standing drainage issues such as Poor slope, Wrong downspout location or overflowing issues during heavy rain
