Gutter Replacement for Glen Allen, VA, Home

Katelyn Lewis • January 19, 2023

Look at this home's new gutters!


This homeowner reached out in April 2022 after she noticed her gutters had come loose on the back side of her house. She chose to replace her gutters with Retex in August, and this clip shows the final result.

How often you need to replace your gutters or downspouts depends on the type of gutters your home has.


Aluminum gutters are the most-common material used, and they usually last about 20 years with occasional maintenance. Vinyl gutters, on the other hand, are the least-durable, lasting only about 10 years or so.  And on the higher end of both lifespan and price point, copper gutters can last as long as 80 years while the uncommon Zinc gutters can last at least 50 years due to the metals' weather resistance.


If your gutters are sagging, bending, or pulling away from your house, it’s smart to have a gutter professional – like Retex! – examine your gutters to ensure they're functioning properly and are the right size for your home.
