If your insurance claim is denied due to pre-existing damage, you may still have options for addressing the storm damage and making necessary repairs. Consult with your roofing contractor and insurance company to explore your options.
Residential gutters are typically smaller and designed to handle less water flow than commercial gutters, which are larger and built to accommodate larger roof areas and higher volumes of water runoff.
The time it takes to process an insurance claim for storm damage can vary depending on the complexity of the claim, the extent of the damage, and the responsiveness of the insurance company. In general, claims are typically processed within a few weeks to a few months.
Copper gutters are considered a premium gutter option due to their durability, aesthetics, and longevity. While they are more expensive than other gutter materials, copper gutters can last 50 years or more with proper care and maintenance.
Yes, gutters can be installed on metal roofs using specialized mounting brackets and fasteners. Metal roofs require gutters to prevent water runoff and protect the building's foundation and landscaping.

Gutters and downspouts come in various sizes, including 5-inch, 6-inch, and 7-inch gutters, and 2-inch by 3-inch or 3-inch by 4-inch downspouts. The size needed depends on the roof size and water runoff volume.
The number of downspouts needed depends on factors such as roof size, slope, and local rainfall intensity. Generally, one downspout is recommended for every 20 to 30 feet of gutter length.
Downspouts are vertical pipes attached to the gutters that carry rainwater from the roof to the ground or drainage system. They help direct water away from the building's foundation to prevent water damage.
The lifespan of gutters varies depending on factors such as material, climate, and maintenance. Aluminum gutters typically last 20 to 30 years, while steel and copper gutters can last 50 years or more with proper care.
Gutters can be installed on most roof types, including pitched roofs, flat roofs, and low-slope roofs. The gutter size and configuration may vary depending on the roof design and water runoff requirements.
