Gutters, leaders, downspouts and their accessories are not as exciting a home or property upgrade as some others. However, with a well-built, custom-installed gutter system, other major home investments, such as your roof, siding, windows, doors, foundation and basement will be protected from costly structural repairs or even replacement.
If you have ever tapped into a line-of-credit to replace the windows and doors in your home, perhaps this scenario will be familiar. You bought the best windows and doors you could afford from a carefully screened contractor. On installation day the contractor tells you that the job will now take several days and cost significantly more because every window and door frame has to be replaced due to rot caused by water damage. Or there is a ‘mystery puddle’ in your basement every time it rains…could mold be hiding behind the drywall? What will remediation cost? Where does this damaging moisture come from? Chances are from a poorly manufactured, installed or failing gutter system.
The point is a reliable gutter system will not cost home or property owners a great deal. Think of it as preventative maintenance. A new or replacement gutter system from Island Gutters will enhance the appearance of your home and successfully carry water from your roof safely away from your structure.
It is very likely that your home already has a gutter system. However, if it is over 25 years old it possibly can fail. Walk the perimeter of your home checking for downspouts that have pulled away from the siding and breaks in the gutters themselves. Please do not think you can save a few dollars by visiting a home center and repairing damage yourself. Caulking is only a Band Aid® fix. Perhaps the gutters are clogged with debris. Do you know that a low cost leaf deterrent system can easily be adapted for existing gutters? This can not only save dollars but also cross an unpleasant and unsafe chore off your ‘to do’ list. And if you are replacing your roof, it is an ideal time to replace your gutters and leaders with an affordable, customized drainage system from Island Gutters.
