Benefits of a Gutter and Roof Spouting System
While gutters are often an afterthought, they serve valuable purposes year-round. In fact, through their functionality, they can save the homeowner a considerable amount of money, time and stress. What are the many benefits of gutter systems?
Prevents Erosion: A quality roof spouting system collects all of the rain that lands on the roof, and it channels this water away from the home in a strategic manner. Without gutters and spouts in place, the rain would run flatly off of the roof. This can lead to significant and unnecessary erosion.
Prevents Foundation Damage: When erosion occurs close to the home’s foundation, movement is more likely. When the foundation settles significantly, extensive structural damage can occur. By keeping excessive moisture away from the foundation, they can reduce the risk of a basement flood as well.
Safeguards Your Lawn and Flowerbeds: As the rainwater runs rampantly across the yard, extensive damage related to channels and puddling can occur. Gutter systems protect your landscaping because they control the flow of water.
Protect Your Home’s Exterior: Through the function of spouting systems, the gutters prevent heavy streams of water from running down the exterior walls and windows of the home. This force can ultimately lead to paint damage. When wood siding, fascia and other surfaces are exposed, wood rot and deterioration are more likely. In addition, by preventing the water from streaming down the side surfaces, mold and mildew growth is less likely.
Types of Roof Gutter and Spouting Systems
Gutters should be functional for all of your home’s needs, but they also must be aesthetically pleasing. They run along most or all of the horizontal trim on the home. The downspouts also extend vertically to the ground. Because of this, they can be highly visible. At Guaranteed Roofing & Gutters, we will integrate a seamless gutter system that does its job well, that is priced affordably and that looks great on your home.
Traditional Half-Round Gutters: The traditional half-round gutters will perfectly complement many historic or older homes. They have a classic look with your choice of metal finishes or different shades of plastic colors. These gutters are easy to install, so you can start benefiting from the functionality of your gutters as soon as possible. They are also deep and can handle plenty of rain, snow and ice without concern.
Hand-Forged Zinc or Copper Gutters: These are higher-end gutters that are manufactured using quality metals for an old-world look and superior durability. Both copper and zinc are rust resistant, so these gutters will continue to look amazing long after they are installed. Several shades of these metal finishes are available, so it is easy to find the perfect look for your home.
Gutter Installation Process
Our gutter installation is a complete system to control water runoff, directing it away from your home and safely to the ground below. When installed as a part of an entire roofing system, gutters will protect the entire building from water penetration. Gutters will guard against unwanted water infiltration for years to come.

FAQs About Spouting and Gutter Systems
What Are the Benefits of Seamless Gutters?
Conventional gutters are comprised of sections of the gutters being connected with fasteners. These gutters are more prone to leaking and other types of damage. Seamless gutters, on the other hand, are produced specifically for your home. The only connectors are at the downspouts and corners.
When Do Gutters Need to Be Replaced?
The lifespan of your home’s gutters will depend on the material used, the type of installation method used, how well the home has been maintained and even local weather conditions. Generally, gutter systems should be replaced when the gutters are no longer aesthetically pleasing or when extensive damage is present.
What Are Maintenance Requirements for Gutters?
Gutters should be cleaned thoroughly at least once every year. This involves sweeping leaves and other debris out of them, scraping out gunk that has built up in them and cleaning the downspouts.
