How Do Gutters Protect Your Home?

Gutters play a major role in keeping your home safe, dry, and structurally sound. Whether it's time for repair or full replacement, well-functioning gutters are one of the smartest upgrades a homeowner can make.

  • A downspout drains water near a house, causing a pool of standing water along the building’s foundation with wet leaves and debris nearby.

    Prevents Foundation Damage

    Water that isn’t properly diverted away from your home can pool around the foundation. Over time, that moisture seeps in—causing cracks, shifting, or even basement flooding. Healthy gutters channel water far from the house, keeping the foundation strong and dry.

  • Stops Rot and Mold Before It Starts

    Leaking or overflowing gutters can damage siding, fascia, and soffits—and invite mold and mildew to spread behind the walls.
 Properly maintained gutters help preserve the health of your home’s exterior and interior at the same time.

    Protects Landscaping and Exterior Features

    Water that rushes off your roof with no control can erode soil, drown plants, and stain walkways. Functional gutters keep landscaping intact and your exterior looking sharp.

  • Boosts Curb Appeal and Home Value

    Gutters may seem small—but broken or rusted ones make a big (bad) impression. Whether you’re planning to sell or simply want to take pride in your home, clean and well-installed gutters go a long way.

3 Types of Gutters

  • A tradition, while K-gutter installed on a single family house

    Traditional K-gutter

    K-gutter is the traditional rain gutter used on many homes today. The K-gutter is a quality, easy-to-install, and easy-to-maintain gutter. We manufacture this gutter on-site and hang it directly after it’s made. K-gutter comes in 5-inch and 6-inch widths.

  • A bent copper gutter downspout is attached to the corner of a brick house under a white roof trim.

    Copper gutters

    If you want to increase curb appeal to your home, choose a Copper Rain Gutter. The copper gutter, when installed correctly, can last for many decades. Copper is rust resistant, unlike some other gutter materials. Some folks claim their copper gutters are 100-years old!

FAQ

Why are gutters important for my home?

Gutters play a crucial role in protecting your home from water damage. They channel rainwater away from your foundation, siding, fascia, and landscaping, preventing issues like basement flooding, soil erosion, and damage to your home's structural integrity.

What are the different types of gutters you offer?

We offer a variety of gutter options to suit your home's needs and aesthetic preferences. These include seamless aluminum gutters, which are a popular and durable choice, as well as other materials like copper and galvanized steel, depending on your specific requirements.

What are the benefits of seamless gutters over traditional gutters?

The greatest benefit of seamless gutters comes from the fact that they are custom-made on-site to the exact measurements of your home. This eliminates the seams that are the weakest points in traditional gutter systems and are often prone to leaks. Other benefits of seamless gutters include reduced leaks, lower maintenance, a cleaner look, and potentially a longer lifespan.

How do I know if I need new gutters?

Several signs indicate it might be time for new gutters. These include visible rust or holes, sagging or pulling away from the house, frequent clogs, water overflowing during rain, and damage to surrounding landscaping or siding that could be water-related.

What are gutter guards, and how do I know if I need them?

Gutter protection systems, such as gutter guards or screens, are designed to prevent leaves, twigs, and other debris from clogging your gutters. This reduces the need for frequent cleaning and helps ensure proper water flow, preventing potential damage. Whether you need it depends on the amount of tree cover around your home and how often your gutters tend to get clogged.

How often should I clean my gutters if I don't have gutter protection?

It's generally recommended to clean your gutters at least twice a year – once in the spring and once in the fall – to remove accumulated debris. However, if you have many trees around your property, you might need to clean them more frequently.

What is the cost of new gutters?

The cost of new gutters can vary depending on several factors, including the material chosen, the size and complexity of your roofline, and whether you opt for gutter protection. We offer free estimates to provide you with an accurate cost for your specific project.

How long does gutter installation take?

The duration of a gutter installation project depends on the size and complexity of your home. Most residential gutter installations can be completed in a single day. We can provide a more accurate timeline when we assess your property.

Do you offer a warranty on your gutter installations?

Yes, we stand behind the quality of our workmanship and the materials we use. We offer a warranty on our gutter installations. Please inquire about the specific details of our warranty when you receive your estimate.

Does Smucker’s provide free estimates for gutter replacements?

Yes. At Smucker Exteriors, we take the time to understand your specific needs and then offer a free estimate.
