Gutters

Gutters are important for preventing water damage and maintaining the structural integrity of your home. Their primary function is to collect rainwater from the roof and direct it away from the foundation. Gutters protect against water damage to windows, doors, siding, and the foundation. They also prevent soil erosion, preserve the exterior of your home, and help prevent basement flooding.

Signs that it may be time to consider gutter installation or replacement include leakage, sagging or misalignment, rust or corrosion, frequent clogging, peeling paint or mold growth, and age.

Common gutter materials include aluminum, vinyl, steel, and copper. Factors to consider when choosing the right material for your home include durability, resistance to rust or corrosion, maintenance requirements, cost, aesthetic appeal, and suitability for your climate.
