Besides the convenience of not being dripped on,
gutters provide a useful and important function for the
maintenance of your home. By channeling rain water to a central downspout and thereby away from your foundation,
gutters help to prevent a slow but steady accumulation of moisture around the perimeter of your house. Over time, this can lead to foundation problems, leaks, or wood rot. If you were on the fence about
installing gutters, remember that they can also provide
added value to your home in more ways that one.
If you are installing
gutters for the first time or performing gutter repairs, there are a few things to be aware of before you begin shopping.
Gutters come in several varieties and materials. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Maintaining gutters is one issue, then there are cost and aesthetic appeal to consider. We provide only the
best type of gutters for homes, which we will go over in small detail below.
Copper gutters are very strong and keep protecting your home for years. Many people choose
copper for its visual appeal, as it can add a nice gold or patina piping to your home design.
Copper gutters still
protect homes from water damage, but look great
doing it. There are many sizes available, from a
standard 5 inch to much larger commercial grade
8 inch.
All copper gutters consist of 16oz. per foot and
are made from the highest quality copper
available.
Aluminum is a cheap install option and will work perfectly fine for several years. We offer seamless gutters in 5 inch and 6 inch sizes.
All seamless gutters
are made with .032 inch thick
aluminum. They are available in a variety
of colors with baked on enamel to ensure beauty for years to come.
