If you need new gutters, the best time to get them is right now! But if it’s not an emergent replacement, you may want to plan for the ideal time of year. Here’s a look at the best and worst times to replace gutters so you can schedule accordingly.
Spring Is the Best Time for Gutter Replacement
Generally speaking, spring is the best time for gutter replacement. The winter snow has melted off the roof, but the gutters aren’t clogged with debris from the fall. Having clean new gutters can also control spring rainfall, and it can add to your curb appeal when your landscaping blooms. If you’re simply looking to upgrade your current gutters, plan for spring installation.
Winter Is the Least Ideal Time to Replace Gutters
If we had to pick the worst time for getting new gutters, it would be winter. Michigan’s harsh winter weather makes it tricky to plan a safe gutter installation. The gutters may be filled with snow and ice, or the roof may be completely covered with precipitation. If the gutters weren’t cleaned at the end of fall, the weight of the wet leaves will make matters even harder. Do your best to plan your gutter replacement before the winter hits.
