Gutter Systems
An Important Part of Home Protection
Do you know the protective home features gutters provide? Gutters protect your home and
improve curb appeal, providing a significant ROI (Return on Investment). Gutters manage
rainwater run-off and provide the following benefits:
- Protect the integrity of the home’s fascias and soffits
- Minimizes soil erosion
- Preserves landscaping
- Prevents foundation instability
- Reduces the risk of basement flooding
- Impedes the growth of mold and mildew
Why have a Gutter System?
Gutter systems are designed to control the flow of water that hits your roof and move it away
from your home. This prevents soil erosion around the home’s foundation. Erosion near a
foundation is detrimental to the home’s structural integrity. It can cause basement flooding or
moisture problems, mold, and mildew growth on the foundation and siding. All these
preventable problems can be costly to repair. Gutters direct rainwater and melting snow away
from the foundation and siding, preventing water-related problems from occurring.
Will a Gutter System Look Nice on My Home?
Many different styles of gutters are produced in many different materials and finishes. There
are vinyl, aluminum, galvanized steel, wood, or copper gutters. Aluminum gutters are the most
popular choice when installing new gutter systems on both new and older homes because of
the abundant color choices. The cost and durability of the product itself are other factors
contributing to the popularity of aluminum seamless gutters.
A new aluminum seamless gutter system adds curb appeal when trying to spruce up the looks
of an aging home and provides a polished and finished look to a new home.
Will I Recoup the Money I Spend on a Gutter System?
Installing a gutter system is an investment in your home from a structural and aesthetic
standpoint. A properly installed and functioning gutter system will prevent mold and mildew
problems outside and inside your home. Future home buyers will see a home exterior free of
water stains, mold, mildew, and landscaping that is not eroded or dead from poor soil
conditions. The ROI from gutter installation is multi-pronged.
