Gutters and Downspouts in Hapeville

The roof sheds the water. The gutters have to get rid of it. When gutters sag, leak or overflow, water dumps right next to the foundation. It splashes the walls. It soaks the wood along the roof edge. It washes out flower beds. Give it a few years and you have damp floors, rotted boards and bigger bills. Good gutters prevent all that, and getting them right is not complicated. Size: a bigger or steeper roof needs a bigger gutter. Pitch: each run tilts slightly toward its downspout so water keeps moving. Placement: downspouts go where water can flow away from the house, not onto the walkway. Seams: seamless gutters are formed on site in one piece, so there are no joints to leak. Hangers: hidden brackets spaced close so the gutter does not sag. On small Hapeville lots, downspout placement takes a little thought, so water does not end up in your neighbor's yard or pooling by your back door. Getting a new roof? Doing gutters at the same time makes sense, since the drip edge and gutter work together. Roof still fine? We can do gutters by themselves.
