Ask whether gutters stay in place
Some projects can proceed with existing gutters in place, while other conditions may require removal or additional work.
Protect existing components
Discuss how gutters and downspouts will be protected from ladders, debris, material handling, and tear-off work.
Coordinate planned gutter replacement
If new gutters are also planned, ask the providers which work should occur first and how fascia or edge details will be coordinated.
Put additional work in writing
Do not assume gutter repair, replacement, or cleaning is included unless the contract says so.
