Why Do I Need A Gutter?
A Gutters main purpose is to collect and redirect rainwater away from a building. This helps prevent soil erosion around a buildings found which would lead to water reaching the basement. This would lead to not only your basement flooding but the buildings foundation would be in jeoprady. It is not advisable to direct the out flow of water to a garden as it can become over flooded in heavy rain storms and end up damaging the landscape. In addition, we would also not advise directing water out onto the drive in as the water can freeze in winter months, making it slippery for vehicles and pedestrians. Rather, a professionally installed gutter will guide rainwater to a drain or safe area. Gutters are produced in various materials such as aluminum, copper and plastic.

What is a Seamless Gutter?
A Seamless Gutter is a gutter that is produced as one singular piece. Traditional gutters are produced in several pieces that need to be welded together. A consequence of the Seamless Gutter design is that they do not leak. Seamless Gutters are also popular with homeowners because of their ”clean” appearance. The continuous form of a Seamless Gutter can contribute towards your properties overall appeal. Seamless Gutters are often made of aluminium and can last up to 20 years if regularly cleaned.
Which is better – Aluminium or Steel Gutters?
Both materials have their advantages and disadvantages but the decision is ultimately determined by the location the property is located, whether the gutter will be installed by a trained professional or a ”do-it-yourself” project or whether you’re installing a traditional gutter or seamless gutter.

What is the proper way to install a Gutter?
Our 3 Step Installation Process:
Planning:
This step involves measuring the circumference of the roof, discussing the desired look and feel the owner is trying to achieve and how we can achieve that through colors and the style of the gutter. This process is more of a collaboration between our team and the home or business owner. We are always happy to give our recommendations however, the final decision is always left up to the property owner.
Execution:
This process involves the creation of the gutter. In the case where a Seamless Gutter has been chosen, we would bring our gutter machine out on location. We would create the gutter on-site to ensure all the agreed-upon criteria’s are met and that the gutter fits perfectly.
Installation:
This process involves the installation of the gutter onto the property. We use hangers to attach the gutter in place. We install the hangers in a way that they can’t be seen. We ensure that the gutter is correctly installed, fastened and compliments your property.
