Gutters may not be the most eye-catching part of your home’s exterior, but they play an essential role in protecting your investment. In Central Ohio, where we see a mix of snow, ice, heavy rain, and falling leaves, a reliable gutter system is a must. Whether you’re building a new home or upgrading your existing exterior, understanding the basics of gutter installation and replacement can help you make informed, confident decisions.
At Evolved Exteriors, we combine quality craftsmanship, high-performance materials, and a customer-first approach to deliver gutter systems built to withstand Ohio’s unpredictable weather. Here’s everything you need to know if you’re considering new gutters in Columbus or the surrounding suburbs.
Gutters are designed to channel rainwater away from your home’s foundation, roofline, and landscaping. With a failing system, your home is vulnerable to:
If you’ve noticed water pooling around your foundation, sagging gutters, or streaks on your siding, it may be time to evaluate your current system.
Not every gutter issue requires a full replacement, but there are a few signs that it's likely time to invest in a new system:
In Columbus, many older homes still have sectional gutters that are prone to leaking and clogging. Upgrading to seamless gutters can eliminate many of these issues and provide a cleaner, more efficient solution.
At Evolved Exteriors, we help homeowners in Columbus and its surrounding suburbs choose the right gutter system based on home design, budget, and performance goals. Here are a few options we offer:
1. Aluminum Gutters
Lightweight, rust-resistant, and available in a wide range of colors, aluminum gutters are one of the most popular options for residential homes in Central Ohio. They’re cost-effective and can be customized on-site for a seamless finish.
2. Copper Gutters
For homeowners looking to invest in a high-end aesthetic with long-lasting durability, copper gutters are a beautiful and functional option. While more expensive, they age gracefully and require less maintenance over time.
3. Gutter Guards
Adding gutter guards can prevent clogs from leaves and debris—especially important if your home is near mature trees in areas like Worthington, Westerville, or Powell. Guards reduce maintenance and help extend the life of your system.

How long do gutters typically last?
With proper installation and maintenance, aluminum gutters can last 20 years or more. Copper systems can last 50 years or longer.
Do I need to replace gutters when I replace my roof?
Not always—but it’s often a smart time to do both, especially if the gutters are aging or if the roof replacement changes how water flows off your home.
Can I install gutters myself?
While DIY options exist, gutter installation requires proper slope, alignment, and safety precautions. Improperly installed gutters can lead to leaks or water damage. For reliable, long-term results, we recommend hiring a professional.
Are seamless gutters worth the investment?
Yes. Seamless gutters reduce the chances of leaks, look cleaner, and are custom-fit to your home. They're especially effective in preventing the common issues seen in sectional systems around Central Ohio.
