Albany, in upstate New York, has cold, long winters, and that is the single biggest influence on its gutters. Freeze and thaw opens joints, ice builds at the eave, and the weight of ice pulls runs loose. Most repair here traces back to water that froze where it should have drained, so the season drives the work more than age does.
