What size gutters do I need?

Most homes here are served properly by 5-inch K-style; larger or steeper roofs and big valley areas often need 6-inch to keep up with heavy Midwest rain.

Can gutters be part of a storm claim?

Often yes. Hail-dented gutters and downspouts are part of the damage, and they also help corroborate the date of the event.

Are gutter guards worth it?

They help most where trees overhang the roof. They are not a substitute for correct sizing, pitch and downspout placement.

Storm damage and insurance

Most roofs in this area are replaced because of a storm rather than age alone. Claims turn on documentation gathered while the damage is fresh, which is why our inspection report is written the way an adjuster reads one — slope by slope, with soft metals and measurements included. You file the claim; we make sure the evidence is there.
