If you live in DFW, you know that the weather is unpredictable – in fact, it’s not uncommon to experience all four seasons in one day. The changing natural elements can put a lot of pressure on your home, especially on the shallow troughs that are situated beneath your roof to carry off rainwater and debris. To protect your home, it’s important to keep your gutters in great shape and to have them replaced at the right time. In this post, the team at Platinum Gutters, your preferred Keller gutter company explains when it’s time for new gutters.

What Kinds Of Issues Would Make Gutter Replacement Necessary?
Since we’re so focused on saving our clients money and making home repair affordable, we’ll do everything we can to repair your gutters without replacing them. However, it may actually be more economically sound to replace your gutters in the following scenarios:
- You have outdated, galvanized steel gutters that have become rusty. In this instance, it’s usually less expensive to replace them with our high-quality, long-lasting aluminum gutters.
- You have a sectional gutter system and problems with one of the sections are irreparable.
What Can You Do Instead Of Replacing My Gutters?
Depending on the situation, we can use the techniques below to preserve and repair your gutters:
- Clean your gutters
- Clear the clogs from your gutters
- Add gutter screens to prevent future clogs
- Reseal your gutters to inhibit leaks
- Correcting the placement of your gutters
- Using hidden hanger brackets to secure loose gutters (rather than anchoring spikes and strips that come loose)
