Yes, many roofers do replace guttering as part of roofing services, though some specialize only in roofing and refer gutter work to dedicated gutter companies. Roofing and guttering are closely related systems, as gutters are attached to fascia boards at roof eaves and proper roof edge details including drip edge affect gutter performance. When replacing a roof, it is an ideal time to also replace gutters, as both systems have similar lifespans of 20 to 30 years and fascia is exposed during roof replacement, allowing inspection for rot. Many roofing contractors offer gutter replacement as an additional service, including seamless aluminum gutter fabrication on-site with a gutter machine, installation of 5-inch or 6-inch gutters, downspouts, and gutter guards. However, not all roofers have gutter machines or expertise in proper gutter slope and hanger spacing, so for complex gutter work or if you want specialized gutter guards, a dedicated gutter company may provide more specialized service. When hiring a roofer to replace gutters, verify they have experience with gutter installation, offer proper materials like heavy-gauge aluminum, ensure correct slope toward downspouts, and provide warranty on gutter work. Some roofers subcontract gutter work to gutter specialists. Always get written estimates specifying gutter size, material, and whether removal of old gutters is included.
