Our Services: Gutter, Gutter Guard Installation & Replacement

Katelyn Lewis • June 12, 2022

How often you need to replace your gutters or downspouts depends on the type of gutters your home has.

Aluminum gutters are the most-common material used, and they usually last about 20 years with occasional maintenance. Vinyl gutters, on the other hand, are the least-durable, lasting only about 10 years or so.


On the higher end of both lifespan and price point, copper gutters can last as long as 80 years and the uncommon Zinc gutters can last at least 50 years due to the metals' weather resistance.


If your gutters are sagging, bending, or pulling away from your house, it’s smart to have a gutter professional examine your gutters to ensure they're functioning properly and are the right size for your home.


At Retex Roofing & Exteriors, we offer complimentary gutter assessments so we can address your gutter needs efficiently and bring you peace of mind quickly. We also offer gutter guards to help lower the amount of maintenance your gutters need year-round.
