Why do we need gutters ?
Is your mind in the gutter?We Hope SO! It should be if you want to have a house that is in good working order. Rainwater is a natural element that can turn into a negative situation for a house if it’s not controlled by properly installed and maintained rain gutters. There are many misconceptions about gutters and as a result there are many mistakes homeowners can make or assume "I'll get a gutter in the near future". In New England weather as we know, weather conditions can turn harsh including vast rain storms, multiple days of rain, unlikely chance of rain, but turns into a heavy rainfall, plus our vast winters in which snow melts, thus turning into water , as well as ice. As a homeowner, considering all seasons and weathering issues, staying ahead of the curve, is a mindful approach to investing in the future of your home.
Motto: " A healthy gutter is a healthy home"
Gutters are an important part of a home or building. Gutters keep rain water from destroying a homes foundation, flooding basements, washing away mulch beds, damaging pavements, rotting away fascia, clapboards, corner boards, and the list can go on to the significant amount of damage that rain water can cause to a home. It is easy to be blind-sided from the damages a home endures until the damages go beyond just needing gutters. As our motto says, "A healthy gutter, is a healthy home".

Benefits of Gutters
Every house should have gutters, and in recent years building officials across the states have been recognizing this & enforcing/enabling/encouraging builders and in some cases, requiring gutters on all new residential construction. Here’s why rain gutters are so important:
1. Soil around the house is stabilized
2. Foundation problems can be avoided
3. Flooding under houses and in basements can be prevented
4. Erosion can be prevented and this preserves landscaping and turf
5. Water damage to siding can be prevented
6. Water staining on brick and stone masonry can be prevented
7. Settling and cracking of sidewalks, patios and driveways can be lessened
8. Exterior doors and garage overhead doors can be preserved
9. Collecting water to save on water bill ( We install RAIN BARRELS & RAINCHAINS )
10. Prevention of Ice dams in winter months ( ask about HEATED CABLES)
11. Redirect water flow (don't let water drip from a certain area go on for years, redirect the water flow)
