RRG Roofing & Gutters Q&A

Yes. When gutters don’t properly channel water away from your home, rainwater can back up under shingles, damage fascia boards, or cause water to pool around the foundation. A properly functioning gutter system helps protect your roof, siding, landscaping, and foundation from water damage.

It's more likely, over time, that your old gutters will cause as much as 10 times their value in home repairs because of poor design. It simply doesn't make sense to keep them! Companies selling products that rely on using your old gutters want you to believe that you're going to save a lot of money because of a lower initial cost. The truth ism you can install a complete Gutter Shutter system for the same or less money, and you can rely on our lifetime guarantee of a product that will hold up over time! Call us at 1-678-517-4211 or contact us online to ask about our "Best Value Guarantee."

It is important to maintain the granules on your roof to prevent leaks and damage caused by moisture and the sun. Without them, your roof is more likely to deteriorate and leak. In the event that you notice shingle granule loss on your roof, you do not have to replace it. The number of granules lost and the age of the roof may determine whether you can replace damaged shingles without having to replace the entire roof.

When it comes to covered gutters, one-piece designs simply don't make sense. Because the top and bottom are made in one piece, if either piece gets damaged, they both need to be replaced. And because the top isn't removable, it's very hard to clean or service the gutter. The newest state-of-the-art integrated gutter systems use a two-piece technology. The top is a separate piece that can be replaced if damaged without replacing the seamless gutter. One type uses a snap-on hood, but snap-on hoods can be easily damaged or blown off in high winds. Gutter Shutter's two-piece design secures the separate hood to the bracket and trough. The secured hood is very strong — it can't be blown off by the wind and allows easy access if service is ever needed.

Yes, multiple types of repairs can be done on older, leaky skylights. There are, however, frequent instances of skylights leaking because flashing was not added during installation, or flashing was overdue when it was installed. During your roof inspection, our project manager will discuss the pros and cons of a new skylight if a skylight repair will not work.

We do offer repair warranties. Our warranties are either 1 or 2 years, depending on the type of repair we did. You can speak with an experienced project manager at our office to learn more about our repairs and warranty options.

In order to see a granular loss on a roof, a homeowner does not need to climb up there. Inspect the area around your downspouts and the perimeter of your home to determine granule loss. Granules that have come loose often fall into your gutters and end up on the ground. A simple inspection of your roof could also reveal granular loss. If you notice areas that seem bare or discolored, you should get a roofer to inspect them.

A roof inspection is the best way to determine if a simple repair will fix the problem or if a full roof replacement is necessary. That said, you can often tell if your roof needs attention if you notice missing or damaged shingles, interior leaks, water stains on ceilings, granules collecting in gutters, or if your roof is approaching the end of its lifespan. Our team will thoroughly assess the condition of your shingles, flashing, ventilation, and decking to recommend the most cost-effective solution.

It’s important to call a roofing professional to assess damage after a storm or if you’ve recently purchased a home. Many signs of damage aren’t visible from the ground but can lead to leaks and rot if not maintained properly.

The Gutter Shutter System has been designed and tested to handle the heaviest rainfalls. Both the 5" and the 6" hoods have exclusive flow reducers that slow the water coming off your roof. However, it's the principle of surface tension that keeps the water flowing into the gutter. Surface tension isn't affected by the amount or speed of the water flowing, so even in the heaviest rainfalls, Gutter Shutter will still work smoothly.

Gutter Shutter® completely encloses and protects. There are no vertical openings for water or clogging debris to enter, and no screens, inserts, or filters to clog. Rainwater flows over and around the nose of the Gutter Shutter by the simple physical law of water surface tension. It's just like the way water clings to the side of a glass when it's poured. The Gutter Shutter System has more surface tension than any other system. This will afford you the peace of mind that comes with knowing you no longer will be putting anyone's health or safety at risk by climbing a ladder to clean your gutters. Your fascia is no longer at risk of additional rotting as the exclusive high-back system ensures your board is covered in aluminum, adding to Gutter Shutter's water management features.

Because the method of attachment is the most important part of any gutter system, the Gutter Shutter® System attaches to the home using our unique, patent-pending GutterStud, the heart of the system. Unlike typical systems that use an inexpensive plastic or glass filled polypropylene bracket, the GutterStud is made mostly from a virgin nylon material, which will not shift due to material breakdown because of weather conditions and is applied to the fascia using only two 3-inch galvanized screws, no nails or rivets, spaced every 24 inches on the board in a vertical fashion, ensuring permanent attachment to the home.

Most residential roof replacements can be completed in one to two days, depending on the size of the home, the roofing materials being installed, and weather conditions. Larger or more complex roofing systems may take longer. We’ll provide a clear timeline before work begins so you know what to expect.

You can determine how long your roof will last based on the type of repair that was performed. However, the older the shingles on your roof are, the sooner your roof will need to be replaced. Any roofing process can be explained to you by one of our roofing project managers. You can schedule a free roof inspection by calling our office at 1-678-517-4211 or contacting us online.

Gutters that are cracked, sagging, leaking at the seams, or pulling away from the roofline may need replacement. Other signs include frequent clogs, water spilling over the sides during rain, or water pooling around your home’s foundation.

The granular texture of your roof will eventually wear away over time. It is mostly aging that causes granule loss, but there are several other factors that can cause this protective coating to wear away prematurely. Weather conditions such as rain, hail, and strong winds can also damage your granules. There may be more shingle granules in your gutter or yard if you have shingles following a storm.

Gutter Shutter attaches directly to the fascia board, in no way interfering with the installation of a new roof.

Gutter Shutter is constructed with 0.032 thick aluminum — the strongest material used for a residential application. Setting a ladder or other similar device against your Gutter Shutter System is not a problem.

A granular roof may look like just another decorative detail, but it provides extra protection to your shingles and home. You can also determine the health of your roof system by examining significant granular loss. A homeowner should understand the function of shingle granules and the causes of granular loss to recognize damage and hire a roofing professional as soon as possible.

Our roofers will remove the remaining shingles, along with loose nails and other roofing debris, from your property after your roof is installed. Furthermore, you should always mow your lawn before working on your roofing project. By taking this simple step, we can easily pick up loose nails from your yard with our equipment and magnets.

While we'd love to serve you, we recommend getting as many bids as you’d like to ensure you work with a roofer that meets your needs and budget. We present ours in-person and walk you through the details to help you make the best decision possible.

Our expert roofing specialists will work with you to determine the best option for your home or commercial property.

Traditional gutter guards or inserts sit inside your existing gutters and help reduce debris buildup, but they may still require periodic cleaning. Gutter Shutter® is an all-in-one system designed to replace your entire gutter system. It features a seamless, hooded design that keeps leaves and debris out while allowing water to flow freely through the system. Because it’s engineered as a complete gutter system, it offers stronger performance and durability compared to many insert-style guards.

You will typically receive your shingles the day you begin your roofing project or a few days before the start. If you haven't received the shingles yet, call 1-678-517-4211 to let your project manager know what’s going on and ask for more information.

Mineral granules add protection to shingles against excessive sun exposure, which can lead to premature residential roof replacement and early roof damage. Additionally, these granules enhance fire resistance, so your home is better protected from the elements when they are added to your roof.

Yes, a new roofing system can help improve energy efficiency when properly installed with the right materials and ventilation. Modern roofing products are designed to reflect heat and improve airflow in the attic, which can help reduce strain on your HVAC system and keep indoor temperatures more consistent.

The steeper the roof, the better Gutter Shutter performs. The funny thing about roofs is that the steeper they get, the less water they catch. A flat roof catches all of the rain that falls over it. As you begin to tilt a flat roof upward, angling its surface to the rain, you reduce the surface area that can catch rain and reduce the total amount of rain to be handled by the gutter. Granted, the water that is caught will flow faster, but fast water flow does not affect how Gutter Shutter performs.
