Gutters

Gutters in Portage, MI 

Gutters and downspouts are designed to divert water runoff away from the home’s foundation. Without the protection of gutters, rain can cause many damages to your home and its foundation, including foundation cracks, wall and ceiling cracks, soil erosion, flooding under the house, and water damage to siding or staining on brick and stone masonry. 
 
While gutters are important in maintaining the integrity of your home, old-fashioned gutters are an eyesore. Our experts make sure to color match the exterior of your home so that your gutters add elegance. We want our customers to view our premium, custom-built gutters as "crown-molding" for the exterior of the home. 
 
In most areas, professional gutter systems are not required by the state on new homes, but they should be. Most contractors will just leave them off to save on the cost of material, kicking your future problems down the road. If you don't have gutters, or you're thinking of replacing your old gutters, call the experts to handle your unique situation.

Seamless, Custom Built Gutters in Portage, MI

In the last several years, 5-inch and 6-inch K-style seamless gutter troughs have become the most efficient systems over older half-round configurations. While the size of the gutter trough to catch runoff is important, our experts also manage downspouts as a major component of efficient drainage. If the gutter can quickly run storm water away from the roof and the water encounters a choke point at the downspout, then the width of the gutters will make little difference. When evaluating your home for gutters, our experts will recommend the correct downspout placement as part of your total gutter system for efficient drainage.

Soffit and Fascia in Portage, MI

When updating or replacing your home's gutters, it's a great time to consider sprucing up your soffit and fascia. Soffit and fascia not only give the exterior of your home a finished look, they also provide your roofing system with essential ventilation. Proper ventilation reduces excess moisture build up that could lead to mold and rotting. In the sweltering summer heat, proper ventilation helps to cut energy costs by lowering attic temperatures, which reduces the amount of air conditioning you'll need. Conversely in the winter, soffit and fascia help your home to retain heat, which can help to lower your heat bill.
