Downspouts and Gutters
Every home has gutters and downspouts as part of its basic outdoor infrastructure that’s used to carry rainwater away from the home. Unless something goes wrong, and you’re dealing with leaking or overflow, you likely don’t often think about these necessary pieces and parts. But when it comes time to replace your home’s gutters and downspouts, there’s a lot to consider.
If you’re replacing your roof or vinyl siding, you may also start thinking about getting new gutters and downspouts if yours are older and starting to show their age. Older styles of gutters traditionally included seams, and after years of repeated exposure to heat and cold, freeze and thaw, they may have finally started to give way. Seamless aluminum gutters are the solution to all the problems that come with traditional gutters in a more northern climate.
Gutter and Downspout Customization Options
Various grades of available metal mean that you can have the most rugged and durable option for your home. Choose from standard 5” K-style gutters and 2”x3” downspouts, or opt for larger 6” K-style gutters and 4”x5” downspouts if you deal with stronger rains and a higher pitched roof. There are many factors about your home and climate that come into play when choosing the best options for your home.
Besides metal grade and size, shape and color are two additional factors to consider when choosing new gutters and downspouts for your home. We offer 10 distinct colors in seamless aluminum gutters, ranging from warm or cool shades to earth tones and traditional colors. While many homeowners opt for white gutters and downspouts, there is room for creativity in this decision. Our Cleveland home improvement experts can help you to choose the ideal color combinations to complement your home’s aesthetic.
Durability and Functionality
Aluminum seamless gutters are naturally durable, and can last over 20 years if cared for and maintained. Colored options are also made to last, with a water-resistant, acrylic emulsion that incorporates a primer and top coat into one rugged layer that will outlast any average outdoor paint.
Seamless aluminum gutters prevent overflow, clogging and sagging that you may have experienced with more traditional gutters in the past. They are a worthwhile investment that will add value to your home, bring peace of mind, and simplify your annual home maintenance tasks.
