What this job is
Gutter replacement with a new roof means new gutters and downspouts are installed as part of a full roof replacement project. It is not offered as a stand alone service on this site.
The timing matters. During a re-roof, the edge of the roof is open. Old gutters come off so tear off, deck checks, drip edge, and fascia work can be done cleanly. New gutters then go on at the right height and slope for the new roof.
If you are planning a full replacement, review the main roof work first, such as roof tear off and re-deck or tile roof replacement, and add gutters to that same scope.
Signs you need new gutters with your new roof
Consider new gutters as part of the project if you see:
- Gutters that sag, pull away from the edge, or hold standing water.
- Rust, holes, or split seams along gutter runs.
- Overflow in heavy rain, even after cleaning.
- Stains or rot on fascia or soffit behind the gutters.
- Downspouts that are crushed, missing, or drain too close to the home.
- Water pooling near the base of the home after rain.
- Old gutters that are too small for the roof area they drain.
A new roof will shed water cleanly. Old, undersized gutters can undo that gain by spilling water at the edge, soaking fascia, and dumping water where it harms planting and paving.
Process step by step
- Review with the roof. The provider checks gutter runs, downspout spots, fascia, and roof edges as part of the roof review.
- Sizing and plan. Gutter size, profile, and downspout size and count are planned from roof area, pitch, and rain load.
- Scope and quote. The roof quote lists gutter work as a clear line item, with length, size, downspouts, and fascia work if needed.
- Removal. Old gutters and downspouts are taken down before or during tear off, so edge work is not blocked.
- Fascia check during tear off. With the edge open, fascia is checked for rot and weakness. Bad sections are replaced as agreed.
- Drip edge and roof edge. The new roof edge and drip edge are set so water is directed into the gutter, not behind it.
- New gutter install. New gutters are cut, joined, and hung with a slight slope to downspouts. Hangers are spaced to hold the gutter under rain load.
- Downspouts. Downspouts are fitted, secured, and set to carry water away from the home base.
- Flow test and final check. Water flow is checked. Joints, corners, and end caps are reviewed for leaks and alignment.
Materials and options
Common choices include:
- Gutter size. Standard sizes suit many homes, but larger sizes handle more water. Steep roofs and large roof planes push more water at speed, so size must match load.
- Profile. Half round and K style are common shapes. Profile affects look and capacity. Your provider can show samples.
- Material. Aluminum is common and light. Other metals are used in some areas. Ask about thickness, finish, and how joints are sealed.
- One piece vs sectional. One piece gutters are formed on site to fit each run, with fewer joints. Sectional gutters use pre cut pieces with more joints. Fewer joints can mean fewer leak points.
- Downspout size and count. Larger or extra downspouts help in heavy rain. Placement matters as much as size.
- Leaf protection. Guards or screens can be added where trees drop a lot of leaves. They reduce clogs but do not remove the need for checks.
Rain load is a key factor. A home in a place with intense storms needs more capacity than the same home in a dry area. Leaf load is also a factor. Heavy leaf fall can block outlets and cause overflow if the system is too small or hard to clean.
Cost factors
We do not list price ranges on this page. As part of a new roof, gutter cost depends on:
- Total length of gutter runs and number of corners.
- Gutter size, profile, and material.
- Number, size, and length of downspouts.
- Amount of fascia replacement found during tear off.
- Height and access for ladders and lifts.
- Add ons such as leaf protection.
- Removal and disposal of old gutters.
Ask for gutter work as a separate line in the roof quote. That keeps the roof scope and gutter scope clear.
How to choose a provider
- Ask if gutter work is planned with the roof edge and drip edge, not added as an afterthought.
- Ask how gutter and downspout size were chosen for your roof area and rain load.
- Ask to see downspout locations on a simple plan.
- Ask how fascia will be checked and what happens if rot is found.
- Ask for proof of licensing and insurance that the provider is required to show in your area, and check it yourself.
- Ask how flow will be tested before the job is closed.
Good gutter work looks simple when done. The planning behind size, slope, and placement is what makes it work in heavy rain.

FAQ
Is gutter replacement offered on its own?
No. On this site, gutter replacement is offered only as part of a full new roof project. That timing makes sense because the roof edge, drip edge, and fascia are open during tear off. Planning gutters with the roof lets the provider size and hang them to match the new roof system.
How are new gutters sized for a home?
Size depends on roof area, roof pitch, and how much rain your area gets in heavy storms. Larger roof planes that funnel water to one edge need larger gutters and more or larger downspouts. Your provider should map where water collects and size gutters and downspouts for that load, not just copy the old size.
Why check fascia during tear off?
Fascia is the board behind the gutter at the roof edge. If it is rotted or weak, new gutters will not hang firm and water can get behind them. Tear off gives clear access to check fascia, replace bad sections, and set drip edge correctly before new gutters and new roofing are finished.
How many downspouts does a new system need?
The number depends on gutter length, roof area drained, and rain load. Long runs with only one downspout often overflow in heavy rain. Downspouts should be placed where water can be led away from the home base and walkways. Your provider should show downspout locations on the plan and explain the reason for each one.
Do leaf guards replace the need for new gutters?
Leaf guards can cut how often gutters clog, but they do not fix a gutter that is rusted, sagging, or too small. If the gutter body has failed, replacement is the sound step during a new roof. Guards can be added to new gutters if your trees and roof type make them a good fit.
