Gutter installation is relatively simple, as long as you hire a professional roofing contractor. To ensure your gutters are chosen and installed correctly—as well as that you’re purchasing the highest quality products available—Allsystems Roofing in Lexington, KY, recommends asking your contractor a few standard questions before they begin. By doing so, you’ll understand how your gutter system works so you can complete proper maintenance tasks and protect your property from damage.

Here are a few questions to ask your gutter installation contractor:

• What Gutter Systems Do You Have? To provide homeowners and businesses with the appropriate gutter system for their properties, Allsystems Roofing carries five- and six-inch gutters. Both measurements come in a variety of colors, allowing you to match or complement the shade of your window frames, shutters, or exterior doors.
• How Can You Enhance My Gutter System? Allsystems Roofing can install a variety of accessories on your gutters to improve their performance and decrease the need for tedious maintenance tasks—such as clearing out the autumn leaves from your downspouts. During your initial gutter installation, their roofers can apply gutter guards and screens, splash blocks, or a rain chain to enhance your drainage system’s style and function.
• Why Is Gutter Installation Important? Gutter installation thoroughly protects your property from water damage. Without it, water sliding down your roof will find its way into your home’s siding and foundation, causing leaks, mold growth, and structural damage. With gutters, you can divert this water off of your property and into the nearby sewer system. In other words, this simple installation provides a critical component of your home’s exterior.

Understanding the benefits of gutter installation will ensure you get the most out of your drainage system. To speak with a roofer at Allsystems Roofing today, call (859) 278-5739, or visit them online to see a complete list of products and services.
