Absolutley!

Roofers can be brutal to any gutter system, especially if they are performing a complete tear off. Most of the roofing companies I have seen in action do no use ladder standoffs when climbing onto the roof. Many times I have seen plenty of heavy items being carted up the ladder and onto the roof which causes extreme pressure to the gutters. Many gutters have spikes placed every 4 ft which does not give enough support or resistance to a ladder leaned against it. Imagine a 200lb roofer and a 100lb load on his shoulder, do you think that might deform gutters?

We see tons of dents that were made in gutters by someone dropping a crow bar, shingle shovel, claw hammer, or a nailing gun. If the homeowner is not home when it happens, many times it goes unnoticed.

In fact if you plan on replacing your gutters right after the roof is installed we will coordinate our install date close to the roof completion to button the job up. It is a really good idea to have your gutters removed at the same time they do the tear off so the gutters and downspouts are hauled off at that time, in fact we will discount the gutter 25 cents a foot if you do.

Another good reason to have them torn off is to expose any dry rot on fascia boards or roof rafters. This is an excellent time to deal with those issues well before the gutters get installed. Also If you are changing roof colors we can determine the best color match once the roof is installed.
