Homeowners looking to remodel or design the exterior of their new homes know just how stressful the process can be. It can be difficult to decide which project to tackle first – siding, roofing, windows, or gutters. While there is no perfect way to approach exterior remodeling, when it comes to gutters versus roofing, your best bet is usually to go with a new roof first.
Benefits of Getting a New Roof Before Gutters
There are several reasons to have a new roof installed before your new gutters, but the main reason is that gutters typically have to be uninstalled before a new roof can be placed on your home, especially when the gutters are attached to your roof. This not only lengthens the installation process but also puts your new gutter system at risk of being damaged during uninstallation and reinstallation. Repairs and re-painting your gutters can be an expensive headache as well.
While it is usually best to have a new gutter system installed after your roof, sometimes this is not possible. If your gutters are damaged or ineffective, you may have no other choice but to have them installed before your new roofing system. In this case, it is best to have protection built into the contract with the contractor so that your gutters are protected.
