Gutters

Gutters have an important job to do.

They flush away leaves, small sticks, and water from your roof and protect the sides of your home from the damage that they can do. They flow water away from your home’s foundation so that you avoid flooding, rot, and damage to your expensive landscaping.

Typically vinyl or aluminum, the two types of gutters are seamless and sectional. Seamless gutters catch and route water to the downspout and away from the house, while leaves and debris are diverted to the ground. With easy maintenance, this is the more popular choice.

Sectional gutters are fastened together in short pieces. Homeowners often choose to install these themselves, but the joints are prone to leaks so it is best to have professionals install these as well to ensure the best fit.

Vinyl gutters are a solid color throughout the material and are less expensive to maintain, but over time vinyl becomes brittle and cracks. Aluminum lasts longer, but requires more maintenance such as painting and does dent when branches fall on it.

Gutter guards are a good option. Installed under the eaves and just above the gutter, the slightly curved material – typically vinyl – allows the water to flow into the gutter while diverting leaves over the edge to the ground.

It is important that your gutters fit in with the look of your home, and our experts show you how it is done. You can choose guttering that blends in with your home’s color or accents it, because guttering comes in a wide range of styles and colors.

Our experts guide you through the process of choosing a guttering type based on your budget, whether your home is in the open or under trees, and a product that is suitable for Georgia’s rain and storm frequency. Vinyl guttering comes in a wide range of colors and is not susceptible to denting or rust, but over time it gets brittle and begins to crack. Aluminum is popular, but it dents and may not be the best choice if you are in a forested area.
