Know your gutter options. Gutters and downspouts are made out of aluminum, vinyl, galvanized steel, stainless steel and copper, depending upon your needs. Copper is handsome, never rusts and never needs painting — but it’s also expensive. Steel and aluminum gutters, on the other hand, are moderately priced and are the types most homeowners choose. If you are unsure which gutter best suits your needs, Get Dwell can help you determine the best choice for your particular house and budget.
Gutter and downspout systems handle vast amounts of water during a rainstorm and if not properly maintained, this water can flow down house walls, windows or doors and begin to flood a basement pretty quickly. A great deal of damage can be done during a single rainstorm.
Underperforming gutters and downspouts, at the very least, can contribute to paint failure, decay of the house structure and undermining the foundation. Over time, even the best gutter systems can begin to fail. Maintaining or replacing gutters and downspouts is an essential seasonal task and fall is prime time to evaluate the health and longevity of your gutters and downspouts. Give us a call today.
