Frequently Asked Questions
Your top questions—answered by the experts at Gator Gutters.
6-inch K-style gutters offer a wider channel for water flow compared to standard 5-inch systems. They are ideal for homes with large or steep roofs and are better at managing heavy rainfall. Their crown molding-like profile also adds a decorative touch to your roofline.
With proper maintenance, aluminum gutters can last 20–30 years or more. Seamless systems and added features like leaf guards can significantly extend their lifespan by preventing rust, sagging, and clogs.
Not always. If your system only has a few damaged areas, a partial replacement or targeted repair may be enough. Gator Gutters will inspect your system and recommend the most cost-effective and durable option.
Leaf guards prevent leaves, pine needles, and debris from entering your gutters, reducing the risk of clogs, overflow, and water damage. They also cut down on how often you need to clean your gutters—saving time and lowering maintenance costs.
While leaf guards significantly reduce debris buildup, occasional maintenance is still recommended to clear fine particles and ensure optimal flow. With premium guards, cleanings are much less frequent and easier to manage.
For most homes, twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall—is ideal. Homes near pine trees or with high foliage may require more frequent cleaning.
Common signs include leaking seams, rust spots, sagging sections, overflow during rain, or water pooling near your foundation. If you notice any of these issues, contact us for a quick inspection.
A screenroom is typically an open-air structure enclosed with mesh screens to keep out bugs and debris while allowing airflow. A patio room is more enclosed—often with glass, vinyl, or insulated panels—offering a more controlled environment that can be used in various weather conditions.
