This is an addition to the tree damage post. I'll be needing new gutters. My neighbor raves about his new gutters(it's either leaf guard or gutter guard), but the roofer recommends NOT using a capped gutter system. He recommends 4x6 gutters and additional downspouts. My neighbor had capped gutters installed over a year ago and hasn't had to up on a ladder once to clean.
I am torn between the roofers professional opinion, and my neighbors opinion. I've known my neighbor for nearly 30 years(former co-worker), who also has exceptional construction knowledge.
For me climbing on a ladder and walking around on my roof is a borderline no-go physically. So capped gutters makes sense for me, but the roofer was immediately saying no to capped gutters when I brought it up.
Pros and cons would be appreciated! Thx!
