The climate in Lowell, MA ranges from cold, snowy winters to hot, humid summers. It’s important to choose gutters that can withstand these extreme conditions. Some materials are aluminum gutters, copper gutters, and PVC gutters.
It depends on the quality of the material and what they are made of, but copper gutters last over 50 years, aluminum about 20 years, galvanized steel about 20 years, among other materials.
It is an anti-leaf screen installed along the gutters that prevents leaves or debris from accumulating in the gutters. However, we recommend that you do a good analysis and seek the help of a professional before you decide to use them.
If they start to loosen or leak water, it is a sign that they need to be repaired and resealed. If they continue to leak after repair, we recommend replacing them with new ones.
