Gutter Durham NC

Why does my Durham home need gutters?

This is a common question asked by most of our Durham, NC clients every day. But, there’s a simple answer to this—water. Protecting your home against water damage is one of the major reasons why we install gutters to homes in North Carolina. It doesn’t matter the current state of your home—water can cause the following issues:

  •         Backsplash – when the water falling from your roof hits the ground with too much force, the backsplash that follows can leave stains on your home. Also, this can cause mold and mildew to grow in the areas where the water has stained the building. Replacing or repairing these areas won’t solve the issue. Installing gutters is the only way to prevent backsplash related damages.
  •         Erosion and washouts – these are very common in areas that the water hits the ground. When left unattended, the erosions can become very deep, which can damage your landscaping and also foundation.

·         Flooded basements – it doesn’t matter whether your basement is finished or unfinished—water falling from your roof will always find a way in. This mostly happens when the water pools on the ground, and it lacks a place to go, other than the basement. Water falling from the roof can be in thousands of liters—and now imagine this falling on your foundation. With gutters, the water will be directed away from the foundation and basement, thus preventing your foundation from flooding, and also protecting your basement.

What type of gutters do you provide?

At Tidewater Gutters, we do provide different types of gutters. However, the most common gutters that we provide to most of the Durham homeowners are seamless aluminum gutters, which we make on-site. One notable thing with aluminum gutters is that they come in various colors, and can last for many years without rusting. Besides, these gutters are cheaper to install and maintain.

Other gutter options that we provide here at Tidewater Gutters include copper and galvanized steel. Copper gutters have the longest lifespan, but they are the most expensive compared to other gutter materials. Galvanized steel gutters are ideal for any weather condition, but they do need more maintenance and have fewer color options. Lastly, we have the vinyl, which is the cheapest option among all other gutter options.

Do gutters add value to a home?

Absolutely. Especially in North Carolina, if a homebuyer sees a home without gutters, they will probably assume the home has incurred water damage. And that’s not a wrong assumption. In fact, the number one cause of foundation damage is inadequate drainage. Gutter installation is crucial for your home’s water management system and extremely valuable in North Carolina where intense, heavy rains are common.

Why do you need to hire a professional gutter installation?

There is one reason why we recommend professional gutter installation here at Tidewater Gutters—safety. These are the other reasons why homeowners in Durham, North Carolina should let a professional install their gutters:

  •         We follow the OSHA standards during any gutter installation project. This is essential, as it protected our licensed gutter installation contracts.
  •         Our gutters are very long, ranging from 10 – 100 feet. Thus, we have the necessary personnel and resources required to do a safe installation.
  •         Gutters must have the correct slope and pitch after installation. This shows how complex gutter installation projects are, and our team has the needed experience to achieve these results.

What’s the cost of installing gutters in my home?

Cost is one of the major considerations during any gutter installation project—be it you want to replace your current gutter system or you want a new system installed from the scratch. However, the cost of the project greatly depends on the materials you choose, as well as the number of gutters needed. However, the average cost ranges between $649 and $950.

When should I consider replacing my gutters?

  •         When you realize your gutters are leaky or clogged. Such gutters are the major causes of basement leaks and flooding, mold, as well as other foundation issues. Moreover, stagnant water in your gutters can lead to mosquito infestation.
  •         If your gutters are old and worn-out, consider replacing them, as they can have a negative impact on the value of your home.
  •         Old gutters can become dented or bent or can start pulling away from the fascia boards in a way that it’s impossible to reattach them. If that’s the case, then contact us to install a new gutter system.
  •         When you want to change the color or material of your gutters.

·         When the drainage system of your current gutters is not enough, and you want a gutter system with larger gutters as downspouts. Most homes in Durham, North Carolina have 5” gutters and 2 x 3 downspouts. However, we can also install 6” gutters and 3 x 4 downspouts if necessary.

How do you install gutters without fascia?

Usually, gutters are installed directly onto the fascia board. However, some homes were built without fascia boards—most likely with the intent of never installing gutters. Though this is uncommon in North Carolina, if it’s an obstacle you think you might be facing, call Tidewater Gutters today! We can discuss your options and offer a free inspection to assess your current roof and gutter situation.
