Gutters are designed to collect and direct rainwater away from the roof and foundation. They are typically installed along the roof's edge, collecting water as it flows down the roof slope. This water is channelled through downpipes and away from the foundation to prevent erosion, water pooling and structural damage. At Refresh Roof & Exterior Restorations, we handle every aspect of your home's guttering, including:

While gutters and downpipes are designed to last, there are a few factors that can contribute to them needing to be replaced or repaired.
If your gutters or downpipes are blocked, we'll clear, inspect and restore them. We handle all types of blockages to ensure efficient water flow.
Rust or corrosion in your gutters or downpipes can lead to leaks and structural deterioration, compromising your home’s drainage system.
Poor installation of gutters or downpipes can cause misalignment and ineffective drainage, leading to water overflow and potential structural damage.
Pest infestations in your gutters or downpipes can cause blockages and damage, leading to inefficient water drainage and potential structural issues.
Old age can cause gutters and downpipes to deteriorate, leading to leaks and inefficient water drainage.
Storm damage can cause gutters and downpipes to become dislodged, bent or clogged with debris, resulting in ineffective drainage and potential water damage to your home.
Gutter guards are essential for maintaining your property’s drainage system by preventing blockages and ensuring efficient water flow. At Refresh Roof & Exterior Restorations, we offer professional gutter guard installation services on the Gold Coast to protect your gutters from debris and pests.

Gutter cleaning and painting are essential services for maintaining the longevity and appearance of your home. At Refresh Roof & Exterior Restorations, we offer comprehensive gutter cleaning and painting services on the Gold Coast. Our team will thoroughly clean your gutters, removing debris and ensuring optimal water flow to prevent blockages and damage.
Once cleaned, we provide professional gutter painting to protect against rust and weathering, enhancing the kerb appeal of your property. Regular cleaning and painting not only preserve your gutters but also contribute to the overall health and value of your home.
Signs that your gutters need repairs include visible sagging or pulling away from the house, leaks or water damage on the siding and pools of water around the foundation. You may also notice peeling paint, rust spots, or cracks in the gutters. If water overflows during heavy rain, it may indicate blockages or improper drainage. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent further damage and ensure your gutter system functions efficiently. Regular inspections, especially after storms, can help identify problems early and reduce the risk of more extensive and costly repairs.
Gutters typically need replacement every 20 to 30 years, depending on the material and local climate conditions. Regular maintenance can extend their lifespan, but once they show signs of significant wear, it’s time to consider replacement.
While generally anyone can install gutters, professional gutter installation ensures that your new system is properly fitted and aligned, maximising its efficiency and longevity. Professional installers can also recommend the best materials and designs for your home’s specific needs, ensuring optimal water management and protection.
Gutter guards help prevent debris, leaves, and pests from clogging your gutters, ensuring efficient water flow and reducing the need for frequent cleaning. By keeping gutters clear, gutter guards minimise the risk of water damage to your home’s roof, siding, and foundation. They also reduce the likelihood of ice dams forming in colder climates. Installing gutter guards can extend the lifespan of your gutters by preventing rust and corrosion caused by trapped moisture. Additionally, gutter guards enhance safety by reducing the need for homeowners to climb ladders and perform regular cleaning, providing peace of mind and convenience.
The cost of guttering is influenced by several factors, including the type of material used, such as aluminium, steel, or Colorbond, each offering different levels of durability and aesthetic appeal. The size and design of your home also play a significant role, as larger or more complex structures may require additional materials and labour. Custom features, like gutter guards or specialised fittings, can further impact the price. Installation costs vary based on location and the complexity of the project, such as multi-story homes or difficult-to-access areas.
