If you are one of the many homeowners who have hired the services of a professional gutter cleaner this spring, pat yourself for doing the wise thing because you will stand to save on the cost of repairs later on. Moreover, dotnews.com describes the role of gutters in dictating exterior function as well as its understated impact on the overall aesthetics of your home:
“The gutter is very important because it has an extreme mechanical function, to take water away from the eave,” he says, as he makes his way around a grand Victorian home on Cushing Avenue, its front covered in scaffolding. “And it has an even more extreme architectural function, which is to throw shadow in light and, in classically derived architecture, we are really trying to imitate a face.”
As such, property owners will do well to research a product or material that will fortify their gutter systems against the harsh elements, as well as to improve the appearance of their home. The metal rain and gutter leaf guard of Gutter Helmet® is highly recommended because this innovative product features patented technology that minimizes the build-up of debris atop roofs, as well as lowers the risks of water damage to other parts of your house.
