Original 5" gutters
Original 5" gutters from 1950s installations are well past their service life.
We rebuild the wood foundation gutters hang on — properly.
Failed gutters often leave behind rotten fascia and damaged soffit. On Merriam homes — especially older builds and homes with mature trees — this damage is incredibly common. We rebuild the wood foundation first, then install gutters that last.
the 1940s-50s-era Merriam homes commonly have 1×6 cedar fascia. Modern primed 5/4 lumber lasts 2-3x longer when properly painted.
