What Maine homeowners should know about gutters
The median home in Maine was built in 1977, and about 54% were built before 1980. Gutters on homes of this age are often due for replacement or guards. Ask whether the fascia boards behind them need repair too.
About 6% of Maine's counties are in climate zone 7 (very cold), based on the U.S. Department of Energy's county map. Freezing weather brings ice dams and heavy snow loads. Ask about hanger spacing and whether heat cable makes sense on your roof. Check your own county's zone, since conditions differ across the state.
About 70% of homes in Maine are single-family houses, and about 74% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
Permits and contractor licensing in Maine
Gutter work rarely needs a building permit, but homeowner association rules may cover color, size and style. In Maine, building permits are issued by cities and counties, so the rules depend on where the home is. Ask the company who pulls the permit, and keep a copy of it.
Maine has no statewide general contractor license; the state licenses electricians, plumbers and oil and solid fuel technicians. For other trades, ask your city or county building department which license applies, and ask the company for its license number.
