Gutters are an essential part of a complete working roofing system. If the gutters fail, then water will overflow or build up creating damage to walls, siding, foundation, and roofing materials. Water must be able to effectively flow through the gutter system, to the downspouts, and away from the home. When the gutter is not working properly, it is important to fix the problem before more damage occurs.
Gutters can fail for a variety of reasons. Some of those reasons include age, rusted fasteners, pulling away from the roofing material due to excessive weight in the gutter, nests from animals creating an area of debris buildup, or the presence of twigs, leaves, and pine needles. It is a wise homeowner who will regularly inspect the gutter system for durability, ease of water flow, and strength.
Cost of Gutters
When the time comes for a new gutter system, how much will it cost? In the Maryland area, it could range from $600 to $3,000, depending on the material used and the size of the home. The gutter experts at MARS Roofing will carefully measure the home and determine a price for new gutters. Place your trust in the professionals who know how important it is that your home’s exterior looks good and performs well.
There are a variety of gutters to choose from. The personal preferences of the homeowner, as well as the architectural design of the home, will determine which style of gutter looks best. What are the types of gutter systems you offer?
Seamless Gutter
This gutter system is hard to beat. Our knowledgeable team will visit your home, make measurements and determine the amount of seamless gutter needed. The order will arrive and be assembled directly on your home with ease and safe procedures. This system is tops because it will never crack or split. No worries about fasteners or grooves for debris to get cluttered in. This system allows the water to flow through the gutter and to the downspout with ease.
Half-Round Gutters
This system is the most traditional gutter system, resembling a tube that has been cut in half. This rounded shape allows gutter cleaning to be a breeze because debris is less likely to get stuck in corners. Minimal debris means minimal wear and tear damage. This results in a longer-lasting gutter system compared to its competitors. Whether your home is a traditional or modern style, this system is an excellent choice.
K-Style Gutters
Are you looking for a touch of class? A more sophisticated look? Then consider this style of gutters. The shape of this system allows the gutter to be easily nailed down to the fascia board without the need for brackets or fasteners. This allows for a seamless finish and is less likely to leak over time.
Box Style Gutters
This system has a rectangular shape, creating clean crisp lines. Many historical homes lean toward this type of gutter to match the unique architectural design.
Gutter Guards
Regardless of the type of gutter system you choose, it is important to consider gutter guards as well. Gutter guards are a mesh or screen covering the gutters, preventing leaves, twigs, and other debris from finding their way into the gutter system. They provide excellent protection against clogging without disrupting the flow of water. Again, maintenance can be minimal with the use of gutter guards.
