Adding value to your home

This is the perfect time to think about adding value to your home. Now that winter is over and the days are getting warmer, why not think about important home improvements. One of the first things you should consider are your home’s gutters. This could be considered as something that is overlooked, neglected, and ignored. Some people may think that by simply having gutters at the edge of their roofs is more than enough – but considering the elements, gutters can get damaged and clogged. Remember to take notice on the value of your home – applying preventative measures to your gutter system can give you peace of mind in the long run. Budgeting home improvements could include adding a… Continue reading »

Rain Gutter Overflow

When the weatherman calls for rain, are you going to wait until you see your gutters clog, overfill with rain, and just pour water down the side of your house? Rain gutters are there for a reason – to keep water off your home’s foundation. They prevent the ground around your house from flooding by channeling away water from the roof. Clogged gutters can backflow into the home, almost guaranteeing water damage, so keep those gutters clean and free of debris by installing gutter guards. And depending on your home’s layout on your property, you can also add downspout extensions, which can be moved around, extending farther from the downspout. A gutter backflow doesn’t just trickle – it happens rapidly!… Continue reading »

Are you ready for the first spring storm?

Mr. Stevens never saw it coming. It was raining rather hard for the first time this spring – the familiar nighttime thunderstorm knocked the power out. Then he heard something unsettling coming from the basement… the sound of water pouring in through the basement window. The problem was the gutter above that window. It was clogged which prevented the water from flowing off of the roof, into the gutter, down the downspout and away from the foundation.  Unfortunately and alternatively, the rain water overflowed from this gutter directly into the window below which resulted in a flooded basement. Installing gutter guards from GutterSupply.com would have been the preventative, worry-free solution. Gutter guards keep leaves and other natural debris from piling up in the gutter and blocking… Continue reading »
