There are a variety of ways that rain gutters and downspouts can be damaged. However it happens, Bel Air Gutter & Siding can fix your downspouts and gutters and make them almost as good as new. In some cases parts will be new.

• Snow and Ice Damage
• Damage from a tree or branch falling
• Damage due to aging
• Windstorm (usually from branches more than just wind)
• Damage caused by not cleaning gutters
• Damage from vines and other plants

 
If the problem is fairly simple, we can probably fix your gutter on the spot. If the damage is more extensive we can give you a quote and recommend several options. It may require ordering some parts or it may be best to replace your gutters.

Replacing the gutters is the last resort and is usually done if there is damage and the gutters are fairly old. Normally, we might need to replace a section of gutter, or replace some hangers. We own houses too and even though it is our business, we wouldn't want to replace our gutters either. So we will only recommend this if it makes the most sense and will usually give some other options as well.

Gutter Repair & Design - An Explanation

Fascia, Soffitting, Trim
Gutters need to attach to something, especially if the side of the house or building is brick or block. Flat roofs are a bit different but typically roof rafters make up the peak of the roof that sheathing and roof shingles are attached to. The rafters are tied into the attic joists that the attic floor and top floor ceiling are attached to. Typically the joists and rafters extend a bit beyond the side of the house creating an overhang.

Vines and Ivy can be very damaging to gutters but also to the roof and your siding

At the outer edge of the overhang a board is attached that runs the length of the side of the house and is vertical. This is called the trim or fascia board and the gutters are attached to this. If this rots because the gutters are clogged and overflowing, the gutters can start to detach.

The cost of replacing the fascia boards is fairly high because because of all the labor involved of taking off the gutters, replacing the boards and reinstalling the gutters. It pays to maintain the gutters properly. It is also why it is now common to cap or cover the fascia board with aluminum trim coil. This greatly reduces the chance of the fascia boards rotting.
 
The shingles will extend a bit past the edge of the roof so that the water running off will go directly into the gutters.
 
The last part is called the soffit. This is the underside of the overhang. If it was just the joists with no covering, too much air would get in and also potentially animals. However, some air does need to get in to prevent rot, so the soffit will have vents that allows some air movement.

Soffits have typically been made of wood or a wood based product. Now, many people are using vented vinyl soffits because they can't rot, require no maintenance and allow somewhat greater air movement to prevent rot.
