Replacing a roof and gutters together in Charlotte: what to decide before the quote
If a Charlotte home needs a new roof, the gutter question comes up early. Some gutters can stay. Others are pulling away, leaking at joints or holding water against soft fascia. A written quote should make that decision visible. Charlotte Premier Roofing replaces roofs and gutters, sometimes in the same job, and a customer review on its site describes a new roof and gutters completed together.
There is a second review worth reading before you assume replacement is automatic. In that job, the company inspected old gutters and left them because the homeowner said they were still sufficient. The point for your project is to ask for an assessment of the gutters you have, rather than adding or removing them from the quote by habit.
Look at the eave as one piece
At the bottom of the roof, the drip edge directs water toward the gutter. Charlotte Premier Roofing says it sets new drip edge during a roof replacement and hangs the gutter beneath it. The company also says it repairs soft fascia when replacing old gutter runs. Those details are hard to judge from a total price alone.
Ask the estimator to walk you through the roof edge in the photographs: the existing fascia, the proposed drip edge and where the gutter will sit. If there is staining or peeling paint behind a gutter, point it out during the inspection. The estimate can then name any fascia work separately from the new gutter itself.
If the roof is due for replacement but the gutters look sound, ask whether they can remain in place while the roof edge is rebuilt. The answer depends on the actual installation. You want that answer before the crew arrives.
Check which gutter problems are present
Charlotte Premier Roofing's gutter replacement page names several signs: water spilling over the front during heavy rain, sagging runs, standing water, leaking sectional joints and soft fascia. A single overflowing corner may also have a blockage. Show the estimator what happens during rain, and let the inspection distinguish a maintenance issue from a failing system.
Take a wide photo of the eave and a closer view of the trouble spot from the ground. If water is carving a trench below one downspout, photograph that too. The location matters when the contractor considers where the run drains.
Make the scope readable
On a roof replacement, Charlotte Premier Roofing says it tears off to the decking, replaces soft sheets, installs underlayment and sets new drip edge before laying Owens Corning Duration shingles. Its gutter work uses seamless aluminum formed to length on site, with downspouts sized for the roof area and the run pitched toward the outlet. Those are specific items you can ask to see in a proposal.
| Part of the job | Confirm in the written quote |
|---|---|
| Existing gutters | Which runs stay, which come down and whether they will be reinstalled |
| Fascia | How soft or damaged wood will be handled if found |
| Roof edge | New drip edge and its relationship to the gutter |
| New gutter runs | Material, locations, downspouts and where water will discharge |
| Cleanup | Removal of old materials and the final yard sweep |
The table helps compare the same scope across proposals. If decking or fascia damage cannot be known until the old materials come off, ask how that discovery would be documented and priced. Do not let a neat fixed total hide an undefined repair.
Decide what happens if the schedule changes
The company's site says homeowners receive a written estimate before work is scheduled. One reviewer described putting a roof and gutter project on hold; Matthew stayed in touch without pressuring them to move sooner. If you are coordinating exterior painting, siding or another trade, tell the roofing company about the sequence while the quote is being prepared.
Charlotte Premier Roofing can inspect the roof and attic with photos, then discuss the gutter line on site. Read its roof replacement service page and gutter replacement page for the work described. To get an estimate, request a free inspection and say that you want the roof and gutters assessed together.
