Repairing & Maintaining Gutters
Gutters are an important part of your home’s weatherproofing system. For many homeowners, the gutter system is a secondary concern and often gets neglected.
Don’t make that mistake! It is important that you maintain a free-flowing gutter system as your gutters prevent rain from running from your roof and falling too close to your house. Making sure water flows away from your house properly will protect your foundation, keep stains from developing on your siding, and keep walkways ice-free in the wintertime.
There are four basic types of gutters available – aluminum, galvanized steel, vinyl, and wood. Galvanized steel gutters, although the least expensive, also require the most attention and maintenance. Both aluminum and vinyl gutters offer the most maintenance-free solution, as they are durable and resistant to corrosion.
