Your gutters have a lot to do with protecting your home. They collect the rain that falls on your roof and funnel it away from your home into the grass below.

This keeps water from accumulating which can damage the foundation, cause the exterior paint to peel and allow for mold to grow.

If your gutters and downspouts are in disrepair, you open your home to damage and costly repairs down the road. Gutters should be checked often to ensure that they are in proper working order. If they are not working properly, then they may need cleaned, repaired or replaced.

Gutters may need cleaned if debris have accumulated prohibiting water from traveling through them. If they are cracked, rusted or have pulled away from the house, it may be time to have them replaced or at least have the damaged area repaired.

A consultation with a contractor who specializes in roofing and gutter work will allow you to learn what is needed. Once you have the diagnosis, you can then consult with your contractor to determine the right plan of action for your home.

The contractor will help you select the right gutters and will make sure they are installed properly for maximum effectiveness.
