Gutter replacement
Most homeowners never realize the importance of gutters until they are in need of replacement or repair. Unfortunately, water damage may have already compromised the integrity of your home by then. With proper maintenance and a good gutter system in place, your home should be protected against this type of damage.
Most residential gutters are constructed of aluminum, vinyl, steel, copper or wood. The most popular residential gutters are aluminum. Aluminum is popular for many reasons, as it is budget-friendly and comes in many colors, but can also be painted. Additionally, you never have to worry about rusting.
Here are some other gutter material options for you to consider when evaluating the best solution for your home.
Vinyl: Vinyl is lightweight and relatively inexpensive, but a major con is discoloration due to excessive sun.
Steel: It comes galvanized and stainless can be painted. Generally, it is not the right fit for most residential applications because it is heavy and can be difficult to handle.
Copper: This material is becoming increasingly popular on higher-end homes due to the gorgeous patina that develops over time. It is beautiful and can add an artistic accent to any home, but it is expensive.
Wood: Wood gutters, normally made from either cedar or hemlock, are usually only used in homes that are being restored. They are subject to wood rot and pest damage, making them a less than ideal choice for new construction homes.
