The key to setting up a great gutter system is to consider the following important things:
The Basics
The simplest and most popular type of gutter is the seamless gutter. Many homes in the country come equipped with this type of gutter. Made of aluminum or copper, there’s little chance of rust. We also carry the round type of gutter here at A+ Roofing. Either one works well depending on your roofing. The key to effective gutter installation is careful measurements, which ensure a secure fit.
The Extras
Proper installation will help minimize the problems that gutters have to deal with. Namely, it eliminates spills, cracking, and spaces for water to seep through. That doesn’t ensure that your gutter won’t still be prone to clogging. After all, leaves can still collect in the gutter itself—that’s not to mention other debris that can collect over the years. Luckily, there are optional investments you can make on your gutter that will help you deal with all these problems. A+ Roofing carries two:
1. Leaf guards/gutter screens
