FAQ

Here are 12 reasons why you should consider installing guaranteed gutters from Superior Gutters to protect your home:

  1. Every time it rains or snow melts, water runs off your roof and can create icy, slippery, and dangerous conditions on your front or back steps, especially in winter.
  2. Gutters will prevent the flooding of flowerbeds and shrubs and reduce the splashing of dirt onto your foundation.
  3. Without gutters, water can damage your deck, windows, siding, woodwork, and stonework or concrete. Water erosion can be a powerful force to be reckoned with.
  4. Gutters will keep water from accumulating around your foundation, which can lead to dampness and damage to your basement. They can also help with leaky foundations.
  5. Old gutters can be unsightly and take away from the appearance of your home.
  6. Gutters will help reduce the risk of ice damage to trees and bushes around your home.
  7. Gutters will help prevent pest infestations by keeping the perimeter of your home dry.
  8. Properly installed gutters can prevent your fascia board and corner boards from rotting prematurely.
  9. Gutters can increase the value of your home.
  10. Gutters can prevent erosion of your backyard.
  11. Our superior gutters with leaf relief are guaranteed not to clog or pull away from your home and come in a variety of colors to match your home’s exterior.

What is the difference between seamless gutters and those available at Home Depot? Seamless gutters are custom-fitted, one-piece gutters that are manufactured on-site. They are far superior to sectional plastic or aluminum gutters that can be purchased at home improvement stores. Seamless gutters do not have seams, which are prone to failure. Seamless gutters are made of aluminum or copper that will last for many years. Our material is also made of .032 inch aluminum, which is much thicker than what is sold at these stores.

Do seamless gutters cause ice dams? No, seamless gutters do not cause ice dams. Ice dams are caused by heat loss and weather patterns. Many homes without gutters experience even worse ice dam problems than homes with gutters. See our section on Ice Dams for more information.
