This Is What Happens When You Replace Your Roof but Keep Existing Gutters
When a new roof is installed without removing the gutters, roofers often have to cut the flashing around each gutter hanger. These cutouts may seem minor, but they create gaps where water can seep behind the flashing—leading to fascia rot, roof deck damage, and other costly issues over time.

Why Proper Gutter Removal Matters During Roof Replacement
When a new roof is installed without removing the gutters, roofers must cut the flashing around each gutter hanger. These cutouts leave small openings that allow roof water to flow behind the gutter instead of into it—eventually leading to fascia board rot, water damage, and even roof deterioration.
To prevent these issues, gutters should be professionally removed before roofing and reinstalled afterward. This ensures the flashing remains intact and your home stays fully protected from water infiltration.
