Once you have decided on whether six-inch gutter systems are right for you, it is time to decide on which material you want. At Williamson Gutters, we have every kind of material for you to pick from – whether you want to upgrade the look and feel of your home with elegant copper, or want to add rustic appeal to your home with the specialized coating of galvanized steel.
However, most owners – nearly 80 percent– choose aluminum because of its lightweight and highly durable properties. In fact, over the past 10 years or so, major automotive companies have begun to utilize aluminum to produce the frame of many of your favorite cars and trucks because of it has a high quality and provides more affordable pricing for buyers. This is the same for gutter systems – often, aluminum is one of the least expensive options compared to copper or galvanized steel.
While the lower price can be a driving factor for choosing this material, there are also many other great benefits to it to help ensure your home is safe from the potential dangers that come from improperly functioning gutters.
Because aluminum is strong and highly durable, it can withstand any type of weather from constant rainfall, to heavy snow or hail with minimal damage or warping. It will even stand up to the San Antonio area’s hot, muggy summers and wind-whipped winters.
It is also less likely to rust or weaken, so your home is better protected from the elements and potential problems. And because it is less likely to rust, they are also able to last for 10 to 30 years with proper maintenance and cleaning.
Customizable
Another reason this material is a popular choice among homeowners is because it can easily be customized to fit any house’s shape or size, no matter how large or steep a home is. With an assortment of colors (27 different ones!), it can match any home or add decorative elements to the exterior appearance for maximum curb-appeal. This can add a rustic flair to a modern home, or restore the beauty and timelessness of a more traditional build.
Whatever you are looking to achieve, we have everything you need to help find the right match for your home or business to keep it looking attractive. Combined with our seamless option, we can create a rainfall solution that is beautiful, functional and easy to maintain.
Because it is less susceptible to rusting and damage, aluminum gutters require little maintenance beyond the occasional need to remove dirt and leaves, and other basic cleaning services. This can be done by someone in your home without difficulty, or you can choose another qualified organization. If that’s not your cup of tea - leaf guards, barriers and other protection systems can also help to keep cleaning and maintenance to a minimum. These add-on accessories can be done during a repair, replacement or installation so that you can rest assured knowing your gutters are performing at their maximum potential.
Rain guards can ensure your gutters stay clog-free, making leaks nearly nonexistent. When you care for your gutters, it can help save you from spending even more money on costly repairs to the roof, drywall or yard. This alone makes leaf and gutter guards a popular option and no-brainer for people everywhere.
Even though the combination of rain guards and aluminum can minimize your maintenance needs, and keep your gutters working well for a long time – we still recommend inspecting your systems at least twice a year, or with every daylight savings time. Gutters can last a long time, but they don’t last forever.
