13 Jun 2019 Gutters

When it comes to protecting your home from water damage, it is always best to be as safe as possible. Having the right gutter system in place can help to ensure that your home is protected from all kinds of issues that can arise from improperly selected or installed gutters. At Tristar Gutters, they have experience educating clients on which gutters are best for their homes and they can ensure that, once the best gutter system is selected, it is installed quickly and properly.

How to Pick the Best Gutters for Your Home

Although there are some types of gutter systems that provide better durability, last longer, and require less maintenance, there is no one perfect gutter system that is the best for every home. Gutters come in all kinds of shapes, colours, and materials and there are a wide variety of additional features that can improve a gutter system’s functionality for a home or region. Some tips for selecting the best gutters for your home include:

Know Your Environment

When selecting a gutter system, it is important to first inspect your home’s surroundings and consider the weather in your region. If you live in a neighbourhood with plenty of tall trees, it might be worth investing in a LeafPro® gutter system to keep your gutters from clogging and filling with debris. The material used should be able to withstand the kind of weather conditions that are common to your area. If you live somewhere with harsh winters and a lot of snowfall, it will be helpful to have durable, more resilient gutters.

Consider Your Home’s Aesthetic

The gutter system that you select will be visible on the front of your home, so it is worth putting the time and effort into finding a gutter system that will not stand out like a sore thumb. Selecting the right colour can be as easy as matching your home’s paint or you could find a nice contrasting gutter colour. Choosing a material like copper and leaving it uncoloured can make a nice statement for a gutter system. There are also a variety of shapes of gutters, such as half-round, crown, and fascia that can complement a home’s aesthetic.

Think Ahead About Maintenance

If you have a three-story home, it is worth getting a gutter system that will not require you to climb a massive ladder to clean and de-clog them. Seamless gutter systems and LeafPro® gutter guards can both help keep clogs away and prevent gutters from wearing out too fast.
