How Long Do Gutters Last?

While your roof is the first line of defense against weather and damage, gutters also play a crucial role in safeguarding your residential property from water-related issues. These small but powerful channels direct water away, mitigating damage.

Well-installed gutters can last 20 to 50 years or even more if you care for them, but after all, their lifespan depends on the materials used and how well they are maintained.

Aluminum: Can last 20 to 40 years or more with proper care.
Copper: These are expected to last 100 years.
Galvanized Steel: Can serve you for 20 to 50 years.
Vinyl: Expect these gutters and downspouts to last 25 years.

While replacing the gutters yourself might seem like a money-saving option, it could end up costing you far more in the long run. DIY installation risks can lead to significant issues such as poor water flow, safety risks, and hidden water damage.

Instead, hiring an experienced roofing contractor like Elevation Roofing & Restoration ensures your gutters can protect your home for decades, avoiding unnecessary replacements. With years of expertise, we proudly provide high-quality roofing services throughout Texas.
