Why do I need gutters? Many homeowners overlook the importance of gutters. Poorly designed or installed drainage systems are not only harmful to your roof, soffit, fascia and siding, but can also cause erosion around the foundation of your home. Many homeowners who find water in the basement during a rainstorm have this to blame for it NOT the basement walls. |
 Vinyl Gutters Vinyl gutters are weather resistant, scratch resistant, corrosion-free and designed to resist ice damage. They do not need painting, although they can be painted with a quality latex paint. White is still the most popular color but manufacturers are now producing vinyl gutters in several colors. |
 Aluminum Gutters Aluminum gutters are basically identical in shape and size to their vinyl counterpart. The main difference is that aluminum is lighter and more robust but also more expensive. One characteristic that sets aluminum apart from vinyl is seamless gutters. This is a length of gutter that is created in one long length and can be cut to size. The advantage of this system is that there are no joiners, this eliminates the possibility of leaking seams. |
