Do Not Install New Gutters on Your Own – Worcester, MA

17 May 2013

The single greatest threat to any home in Worcester is moisture. The longer your home takes in water in the roof or basement, the greater the damage can be. You can keep water out of and away from your home with rain gutters. Along these lines, too many homeowners attempt to install their own gutter system in order to save money. But it doesn’t make any sense to install gutters on your own in order to save money when in the long run you may end up spending a lot more to repair water damage.

Repairing damage to your home from water can be very expensive. It is crucial to have a quality, functional gutter system on your home to catch rain and drain it away from the house. The three top reasons to hire a professional to install rain gutters rather than doing it themselves.

1. Seamless gutters are far less likely to leak and they look a lot better on the house. Sectional gutters show seams are far more likely to leak, which allows your home to get moisture damage. Only professionals are equipped to install seamless gutters. Additionally, seamless gutters are very long, which makes them very difficult to install for the DIY homeowner.  

2. It is much safer for you to use a professional to install rain gutters. It is not easy to work on a roof. Slips and falls can happen easily and quickly. If an accident does happen, a professional contractor has the insurance to cover his injuries.

3. Professional gutter installers are able to notice the little things during guttering installation that you may not notice. Having a professional do the installation also serves as a way to get a professional 'check-up' on the roof and fascia boards.
