Rain gutters perform an important function of draining hundreds of gallons of water off the
roof and away from the foundation of your house. Since gutters catch rain right off the roof they
prevent the rain runoff from splashing against your windows and siding. In addition gutters help
prevent water damage that sometimes seeps into your home, causing ceiling and wall damage.
This run-off water can also damage landscaping, erode your lawn, and will eventually
compromise your foundation.
Moisture, in all its physical forms, is commonly regarded as the single greatest threat to the
durability and long-term performance of residential homes. Over time, excessive exposure to
moisture can cause significant damage to many types of building components and materials,
namely corrosion, insect habitation and wood rot. By controlling exposure to moisture, many
other durability problems such as mold and indoor air quality, which can lead to unhealthy
indoor living environments, can also be solved. There is wide agreement that successful
management of moisture in its various forms is essential for houses to be safe, durable, and
energy efficient. Foundation drainage is an important determinant of overall exposure to
moisture. It is essential that rainwater and roof drainage be diverted away from the building
perimeter to prevent leaks into basements or crawl spaces, or saturation of the ground around
slab-on-grade construction.
Your gutters are produced in one continuous length, on the job, to any length needed to fit
your home’s specifications.
Aluminum is one of the least expensive products available and does not rust. Aluminum
gutters are manufactured on the job to the precise measurements of your home and are prefinished in 26 colors. They have a 50-year warranty against chipping, cracking and peeling of the
factory finish.
Aluminum is, by far, the most commonly used material for gutters. Inexpensive, relatively
maintenance free (but it is recommended to clean all gutters once per year), lightweight and rust
free. They are available in various colors. Although there are alternatives to aluminum (such as
galvanized steel and copper), its low cost and fewer drawbacks make it the most popular choice.
It is our experience that most homeowners choose seamless aluminum rain gutters, they offer the
best value for your dollar and are available in many colors.
Gutters should be cleaned as often as needed. Most of our customers have their rain gutters
cleaned three to four times per year. The frequency of cleaning depends on the surroundings of
their homes.
