Rain gutters prevent water from destroying many components of your home. Dripping rainwater can cause cracks in foundations & walkways. These cracks lead to costly repairs. The rainwater rots all the lower wood components on your home including your deck. This wet, rotting wood attracts termites & carpenter ants, which need damp conditions to reproduce and thrive. Rain gutters also protect entrances from becoming wet and slippery. They can also prevent drowning and rutting of your flower and shrubbery beds.
All of our gutter evaluations are done onsite after careful evaluation of your property and your concerns. We evaluate factors like the total roof area, amount of downspouts needed for adequate water flow, and whether or not you need leaf protection to name a few. We then base the price by the job not the foot.
Ice dams are primarily caused by heat loss from the home into your attic area. This can melt the snow on the roof causing water to run down the roof and refreeze at the colder eaves. This heat loss, coupled with inadequate attic ventilation is the root cause of ice dams with or without the presence of a gutter.
The most important thing to do is to reduce the heat loss and increase attic ventilation to be sure your roof deck is kept cold thus reducing melting of the snow on your roof.
