If Mother Nature were to only grace us with a soft rain that the soil around your home could easily absorb, you wouldn’t have any fear of foundation damage or erosion destroying your landscaping. Since that isn’t the case, gutters were developed to provide protection from the hard rainstorms that most areas experience. The decision to have gutters isn’t a difficult one to make, but there are some things you should consider when choosing gutters for your home.
- Aesthetics- With a wide variety of styles and colors, it is an easy task to get gutters that look appealing. You can choose ones that stand out to add character or ones that blend with the siding or roofing to be less noticeable.
- Size- There are different widths available. Larger gutters are going to be able to handle more water flow and are a good option for larger roofs that are capturing more rain.
- Material- Gutters come in various materials, including vinyl, aluminum, copper, and more.
- Seamless- A popular option these days in gutters, seamless gutters have many advantages, including better aesthetics and fewer connections that could loosen with time.
- Gutter guards- If you like the idea of not needing to climb on a ladder every few months to clean out your gutters, consider having gutter guards installed on your gutters or going with a gutter system that includes a guard.
- Downspouts- You’ll need to place your downspouts properly so that water can be diverted safely away from your home. If necessary, consider having a French drain put in to further ensure protection for your home’s foundation and landscaping.
