Gutters are essential for safeguarding your home against water damage, efficiently channeling rainwater away from the roof, walls, and foundation. However, over time, they can deteriorate or sustain damage, resulting in leaks, clogs, and reduced functionality that may jeopardize your home’s structural integrity. Investing in professional gutter replacement is the best way to ensure your home remains safe and protected, even during heavy rains and harsh winters. At Krumm Exteriors, we specialize in providing expert gutter solutions tailored to your home’s needs.
Signs You Need Gutter Replacement
Recognizing the right time to replace your gutters can help you avoid expensive repairs and prevent water damage. Here are some common signs it’s time for gutter replacement:
- Visible Damage: Cracks, holes, or rust spots on your gutters indicate that they are no longer effective and need to be replaced.
- Frequent Leaks: If your gutters frequently leak despite repairs, it may be more cost-effective to replace them.
- Sagging or Pulling Away: Gutters that sag or pull away from the house are often a sign of improper installation or structural failure.
- Water Pooling Around the Foundation: Seeing any water pooling near your home’s foundation is a telltale sign that your gutters are not directing water away properly.
- Peeling Paint or Water Stains: Peeling paint or water stains on your siding may indicate overflowing gutters.
- Mold or Mildew: Mold growth near your gutters or foundation is a sign of excess moisture caused by inefficient drainage.
The Benefits of Professional Gutter Replacement
Upgrading your gutters is more than just a functional improvement—it’s an investment in protecting your home from water damage and preserving its value.

Types of Gutters for Replacement
When considering gutter replacement, homeowners often face the choice between seamless gutters and traditional sectional gutters. While each option offers its own benefits, seamless gutters are gaining popularity for their superior functionality and sleek, attractive design.
Seamless gutters are custom-made to fit your home’s dimensions, eliminating the need for seams that can weaken over time and lead to leaks. These gutters offer a sleek, uniform appearance and require less maintenance compared to their traditional counterparts. Since they are tailored to your property, seamless gutters ensure optimal water flow and reduce the risk of clogs and water damage.
On the other hand, traditional sectional gutters are pieced together in segments. While they are typically less expensive upfront, the seams where the sections connect can become problematic. Over time, these seams may separate or collect debris, leading to potential leaks and maintenance issues.
Our gutters come in standard sizes, with 5-inch and 6-inch options being the most common. The choice of size will depend on your roof’s slope, the amount of rainfall in your area, and your home’s specific needs.
For durable and efficient gutter replacement, seamless gutters offer a reliable solution that minimizes upkeep and enhances your home’s exterior.
