Why do we need gutters?
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 goes on of the significant damage that rain water can cause to a home.
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. New England weather conditions can be harsh with major rain storms, multiple days of rain, plus our heavy winters in which snow melts into water and 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.

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. |
RAIN GUTTERS ARE HELPFUL IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
1. Keep soil around the house 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 (ask about RAIN BARRELS & RAINCHAINS)
10. Redirect water flow (don't let water drip from a certain area go on for years, redirect the water flow)
