Glossary of Gutter Terms
Glossary of Gutter Terms
Here are some terms you should be aware of when reading an estimate from a contractor.
Downspout
A pipe that carries rainwater from a roof gutter down to a drain or to the ground.
Drip-Edge Extension
Prevents water from washing over the fascia eventually causing it to rot. If your fascia boards have black streaks on them, that usually means that the drip-edge is failing and the contractor may suggest adding an extension for an additional charge.
Fascia Angle
If there is any fascia board that is angled to follow the roof rafters, there is usually an extra charge.
Fascia Board
The flat horizontal surface right below the edge of a roof.
