Sizing Makes or Breaks the Strength of a Gutter: Although a gutter installation isn’t labor intensive or extremely difficult to plan out, gutter services need to know and understand basic engineering fundamentals. Basically, professionals need to figure out how big a gutter needs to be with relevance to the square footage of your home and potential for any inclement weather in your area. That’s why gutters in Seattle are a lot thicker and larger than a gutter in Arizona.

If your gutters aren’t proportionate to your home’s square footage and area’s average downpour, then your gutters could ultimately fail and cause serious damage to your home.

Pitch and Downspouts are Important: While a gutter itself is extremely important to a collection system, a pitch and downspout is just as important. During your gutter installation, make sure your pitch is placed in the center of the middle of your spouts. This location is prime for pitches because it allows the overall structure to be steeper, which promotes a free-flowing system.

Differentiate between Gutter Guards and an Open Gutter: Prior to your gutter installation, you should decide whether you want gutter guards or an open gutter. The type of gutter you choose will ultimately be dependent upon where your home is located. For example, if you live in an area near forests with lots of leaves and pine needles, then a gutter guard is more appropriate.
