Gutter Installation

Homeowners have a variety of options when it comes to choosing their gutter material, but aluminum is the most popular choice. Not only are these gutters stylish and come in various colors, they also last for decades without rusting– making them one of the lowest cost materials around. If you’re looking for something with longevity, copper may be your best bet, despite its hefty price tag. Galvanized steel offers excellent weather-resistance (albeit with limited color choices) and vinyl provides an economically sound alternative.

As the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Investing in new gutters can save you from an array of potential headaches like basement leaks, mold growth and unappealing exteriors that detract from your property’s value. Without up to date guttering systems, standing water may become a breeding ground for mosquitoes! If your gutters are old or damaged beyond repair, rendering them unable to be reworked, then it might just be time to replace them with something more suitable. Bigger downspouts could make all the difference when looking at drainage performance too. You also have creative freedom if you want to give your house facelift – there’s plenty of gutter colors available!

When the rains come, listen closely – if you hear water splashing on the ground in addition to streaming down your gutter, chances are there’s a blockage or misalignment. Paint peeling or wood corrosion might show that clogging is preventing drainage and causing overflow which leads to puddles forming around your home. Even worse? A visual clue of mold lets you know it’s time to check out those gutters!
