Why Gutters Matter
Why Are Gutters Essential for Your Home?
Gutters are more than just a finishing touch for your home—they are a critical component in protecting your property from costly water damage. Here’s why they matter:
Foundation Protection: Gutters direct rainwater away from your foundation, preventing cracks, erosion, and costly structural damage.
Prevent Water Damage: By channeling water away from your roof and walls, gutters protect your siding, windows, and doors from rot and leaks.
Curb Appeal: Well-maintained gutters enhance your home's appearance, ensuring a clean, polished look.
Preserve Landscaping: Properly functioning gutters prevent soil erosion and protect your garden beds and landscaping from excessive water runoff.
Prevent Ice Dams: In colder months, gutters help reduce the risk of ice dams, which can damage your roof and lead to interior leaks.

Common Questions About Gutters
Your Gutter Questions Answered
-
It's recommended to clean your gutters at least twice a year—typically in the spring and fall. However, if you have overhanging trees, you may need to clean them more frequently to prevent clogs from leaves, pine needles, or other debris. Regular cleaning ensures that water flows freely and prevents water damage to your home.
-
Watch for these common signs that your gutters may need repair:
Sagging or pulling away from the house: This indicates that your gutters are no longer securely attached and need immediate attention.
Water stains or leaks: Water stains on the exterior walls or pooling around your foundation suggest that your gutters aren't properly directing water away from your home.
Overflowing gutters: If your gutters are overflowing during rainstorms, it could be due to clogs, damage, or improper installation.
Cracks or holes in the gutter material: These can cause water to leak and damage your home’s exterior.
-
The right gutter material depends on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and the climate in your area. Here are a few options:
Aluminum: Our most popular choice, aluminum gutters are affordable, lightweight, rust-resistant, and come in a variety of colors. Ideal for most homes in the Greater Portland Metro Area and Vancouver.
Copper: Copper gutters are durable and offer a unique, elegant look, but they are more expensive than aluminum. They develop a beautiful patina over time.
Vinyl: Vinyl gutters are lightweight and easy to install but may not be as durable as aluminum or copper in extreme weather conditions.
Steel: Steel gutters are strong and durable, but they are prone to rust over time and are less common in residential installations.
-
Gutter guards are protective covers that fit over your gutters to keep leaves, twigs, and other debris out while allowing rainwater to flow freely.
Are they worth it? Yes, especially if you have a lot of trees around your home. Gutter guards reduce the frequency of cleaning, prevent clogs, and extend the lifespan of your gutters. They are an investment in reducing long-term maintenance and protecting your home from water damage.
