How Installing Gutter Guards on a Richmond Roof Can Benefit You

Author: Jason Bradley

As summer turns to fall, you may have the nagging thought that it’s time to clean out the gutters again. If you have lots of trees around your house, the gutter cleaning issue may quickly become pressing! For most homeowners, the thought of climbing up a ladder, stretching and scooping to clean debris and muck out of the bottom of gutters is less than exciting. For older folks or those not especially handy around the house, the job can even be dangerous. These are some reasons why many people pay a maintenance person to tackle the job.

Why not save the time, money and/or risk of cleaning out your gutters by installing a gutter guard system? A quality gutter guard can go a long way toward keeping a gutter system clean and functional year-round. In summary, here are the benefits:

• Gutter guards save money. When you don’t have to spend hours cleaning them out or pay someone else to do the work, the initial investment of having gutter guards installed on your home will be returned many times over.

• Gutter guards reduce maintenance. Not only do you eliminate clogged gutters and downspouts, you also don’t need to worry about problems that result from improper drainage around your home, such as erosion, flooded landscaping, rotted decking and basement flooding.

• Gutter guards are safer. By keeping you (or a hired hand) off a ladder and on solid ground, gutter guards prevent accidents and injuries from falls.

If you are interested in saving the money and hassle associated with gutter cleaning, contact Crown Roofing LTD today. We can explain the best options and install a quality gutter guard system that will provide years of service for your home. Call us at (877) 907-3066 for more info!

Gutters: Critical to BC Roofing

Author: Jason Bradley

One of the most important parts of roofing in Vancouver is often overlooked by customers: guttering. Here in the Lower Mainland, where precipitation averages nearly 50 inches annually, a properly designed and professionally installed gutter system is a critical component of the overall BC roofing system. Gutters perform the task of redirecting collected rainwater and snowmelt that flows off a roof. Without a gutter to collect the runoff, water would travel to places where you simply do not want it to go, such as into your attic, down the walls of your home, and through the foundation into your basement.

Not all gutters are the same. Often homeowners make the mistake of skimping on their gutters in an attempt to save a few dollars. Unfortunately, any money saved will have to be paid out many times over when “bargain” gutters fail to do their job. Here are some key characteristics of a well-constructed gutter system:

• Seamless gutter troughs that won’t allow water to seep through.
• Troughs that are wide and deep enough to accommodate the expected runoff volume.
• Sturdy hangers that prevent loaded gutters from separating from a home, leaving gaps.
• One-piece end caps to prevent water from escaping.
• Downpipes that are wide enough to handle a heavy flow of water, and that are long enough direct the water a safe distance from the side of a home.

While these attributes seem to be common sense, too many gutter installers fail to implement them. The result is a gutter system that works perfectly in dry weather, but fails when you need it most. So when a roofing contractor in Vancouver mentions gutters when discussing your new roof, don’t think he is just trying to generate additional work. Instead, understand how important the gutter system is to the proper functioning of your BC roofing system.
