Gutters on a new Freeport house
There is steady new building in Freeport, and a new house is the easiest time to plan gutters, because the downspouts can be placed before the driveway, walks and beds are fixed around them.
When they go up
After the roof and fascia are finished. We schedule around the builder and the other trades, not the other way round.
Builder or owner
A builder, a homeowner or an owner who is building the house can book it.
What a builder should send
The address or lot, the builder's name and the person to call on site, the date the roof edge should be finished and the trim color. If the builder is running several houses, list each lot and the date its roof should be done. Measurements are taken at the building, so there is no need to send drawings, and the quote is written from those measurements.
Buildings with no gutters
Adding gutters where there are none
A roof edge with no gutter drops its water in a line along the wall below, and over time that line shows as splashed dirt on the siding and a shallow trench in the ground.
A porch or entry roof
A short run with a downspout set off to one side, so the water stops falling across the steps.
A detached garage
Gutters along the eaves that face the driveway or the house, so the water does not land where you park or walk.
Sheds, barns and workshops
The same seamless gutter as the house, which keeps water off a door and away from the base of the walls.
Paint first, then gutters
On a new house it is simpler when the fascia and trim are painted before the gutters are hung. The painter then does not have to work behind a finished gutter, and the gutter color can be set against the trim as it will look when the house is done. If paint is running late, tell us, and the gutter date can follow it.
Choices
Decisions for a new gutter system
Profile
The 6-inch standard gutter formed seamless on site, or half-round in aluminum or copper.
Guards
On the new runs from the start, or later once you see what the trees drop.
Adding on to a Freeport house
An addition brings a new roofline next to gutters that are already up. The new eave gets its own seamless run, and its water either joins an existing downspout or leaves through an outlet of its own, depending on how the two roofs meet. If the old gutters on the house are worn or a different color, they can be replaced on the same job so the whole house matches.
New commercial buildings
A new shop, office or warehouse is scheduled the same way as a new house. The gutter and the number of downspouts are set by how much roof feeds each run, and outlets are kept away from entrances and parking. An existing commercial building can have its gutters repaired, replaced or cleaned, with the work booked around business hours.
A house and its outbuildings on one quote
A property with a house and separate outbuildings does not need a visit for each building. Name every roof you want covered when you ask, and the house, porches, garage, shop and shed are quoted together as one job. Each building gets its own runs and outlets, placed so one roof does not drain toward another.
