High humidity, mold, and unpleasant odors affect your family’s health, the serenity of your home, and your home’s value. Don’t put off gutter replacement or skip maintenance. Below are some of the important roles gutters play in protecting your property: - Move water away from foundations, preventing uplift or settling - Prevent water infiltration behind fascia board into your attic and walls - Prevent fascia boards from rotting - Pests are kept at bay when gutters leave your roof and walls dry - Keep landscaping attractive and well-drained In addition to preventing costly damage, they also add beauty to your home, improving the curb appeal. The sleek, smooth lines act as highlights, helping to frame your home and integrate roof, walls, windows, and landscaping.

A gutter guard is a protective cover placed over the top of the gutter that prevents debris from creating clogs and blocking water flow. There are many different styles of gutter guards, and each one has its own pros and cons. We offer several different types of gutter guards, including mesh, aluminum, and helmet style. If you’re looking for gutter guards, we’ve got you covered!

While this isn’t required, a 6” gutter has 25% more capacity than a 5” gutter! This means clogs are less likely, there’s less change of overflow, and less chance of overshooting. The downspout for a 6” gutter is also larger, so it can evacuate water more quickly! ### Are K-Style or half round gutters better? K-style gutters are cheaper and more common than half round gutters. However, half round gutters have a more historical look and are a desired style for certain architectural styles. They’re also more expensive. Both K-style and half round gutters function well, the differences are only aesthetic and the “best one” depends on personal preference! ### What are seamless gutters and why are they important? Seamless gutters are made from one continuous piece of metal, which means there are no joints on the length of the gutter. At AIC, all of the gutters we install are custom made on-site to ensure the gutter is sized correctly and will only be one piece. Regular gutters are cut into sections and trimmed at installation, which means there will be joints in the length of the gutter. Those joints, or seams, are the places where leaks are most likely to occur. Seamless gutters are much less likely to have leaks because there are no seams. ### Should I replace my gutters and my roof at the same time? Yes! We will always recommend a gutter replacement at the same time you replace your roof. Your gutter system is part of your roofing system, as both are important in moving water away from your home and preventing damage. In addition, it’s very common for there to be damage to gutters when replacing the roof. It’s best to do both at the same time! Roofs and gutters also have a very similar lifespan, so it’s also more efficient for most people to do both projects at the same time. ### What is the average life span of a gutter system? A gutter system has a similar lifespan to a roof! Many gutter systems can last for 15-20 years, assuming there’s not much damage from things like wind or hail!

Over the last 20 years, I’ve seen it more times than I can count. A homeowner chooses the lowest bid, a price that seems like an amazing deal, and a few months later after the install, the leaks start. Water stains on the ceiling, buckled drywall, warped hardwood floors. And by the time they realize what’s happening, the contractor’s already stopped answering the phone. That cheap roof has turned into thousands of dollars in damage to their […] - [![Close-up of a newly installed dark gray architectural shingle roof against a blue sky with clouds](https://aicroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/roof-replacement-doesnt-have-to-be-stressful-customer-testimonial-1024x536.webp) ](https://aicroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/roof-replacement-doesnt-have-to-be-stressful-customer-testimonial.md) ## [Roof Replacement Doesn’t Have to Be Stressful | Customer Testimonial](https://aicroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/roof-replacement-doesnt-have-to-be-stressful-customer-testimonial.md) Posted in [About AIC](https://aicroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/category/about-aic.md), [Roof Replacement](https://aicroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/category/roof-replacement.md) Roof Replacement Doesn’t Have to Be Stressful | Customer Testimonial Video Transcript I heard about AIC just through Google.

Picture hauling a ladder out in November to scoop soaked leaves from a clogged gutter. If you have done it, you have probably wondered whether gutter guards are worth the money. The short version is yes, gutter guards work. Like most home exterior options, they come with limits worth knowing before you buy. Guards reduce how often your gutters clog and cut down on ladder time. They also help your drainage system do its job through heavy Kentucky storm seasons. What they will not do is turn your gutters into a system you can install and […] - [![The Lexington homeowner's guide to understanding warranty coverage, over a roof with box vents](https://aicroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/roof-warranty-coverage-lexington-ky-1024x536.webp) ](https://aicroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/roof-warranty-coverage-lexington-ky.md) ## [The Lexington Homeowner’s Guide to Understanding Warranty Coverage](https://aicroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/roof-warranty-coverage-lexington-ky.md) Posted in [Warranty](https://aicroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/category/warranty.md) The Lexington Homeowner’s Guide to Understanding Roof Warranty Coverage A new roof or updated siding ranks among the biggest investments you can make in your Lexington home. Proper knowledge of your warranty coverage matters just as much on a project that size. Before you replace or repair your roof or exterior siding, learn what your coverage includes, where it stops, and why. Contractors typically offer two kinds of warranty protection. A material warranty covers the products on your home, and your contractor’s workmanship warranty covers the installation work itself. Both warranties work together to protect your home. Some situations still fall […] - [![Understanding warranty coverage in Louisville, KY, over an aerial view of a shingled roof](https://aicroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/roof-warranty-coverage-louisville-ky-1024x536.webp) ](https://aicroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/roof-warranty-coverage-louisville-ky.md) ## [Understanding Warranty Coverage in Louisville, KY ](https://aicroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/roof-warranty-coverage-louisville-ky.md) Posted in [Warranty](https://aicroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/category/warranty.md) Understanding Warranty Coverage in Louisville, KY A warranty is one of the final and most important pieces of the puzzle when you replace or repair your roof or siding. Any contractor you hire should offer two kinds of protection. A material warranty covers the products on your Louisville home, and your contractor’s workmanship warranty covers the installation work itself. These two work together to protect your home, though only when the installation follows the standards the manufacturer set. Because those guidelines apply to both workmanship and materials, some circumstances fall outside your warranty. Three of them come up far more often […] [LEARNING CENTER](https://aicroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/page/learning-center.md)
