GUTTER INSTALLATION
IN THE BUFFALO, NY AREA
In areas like WNY, it is essential to have a modern system of gutters protecting your home. With an average rainfall of over 40 inches per year, your house could be subjected to precipitation at any time. For homes with a basement, a proper gutter system is even more crucial, as it helps to protect the integrity and longevity of the foundation.
Gutters not only protect your home's foundation, properly installed gutters will help to protect your windows, siding and paint. Coupled with a proper drainage system, gutters will also protect your lawn and landscaping projects from pooling water and make it difficult for insects like mosquitoes to spawn around your home.
Types of Gutters
At Buffalo Roofing, we offer a wide variety of gutters to match your budget and home's style. Learn more about each type of gutter below to help decide which is best for you.
- Aluminum Gutters. This is the most common type of gutter and for good reason. Aluminum is cost effective, resistant to corrosion, light and easy to work with. It also looks great on almost any type of house.
- Copper Gutters. Though more expensive than aluminum, copper gutters look unique and are slightly stronger than their aluminum counterparts. Another advantage is that they require less maintenance like painting.
- Galvanized Steel Gutters. These are steel gutters coated with a layer of zinc. These gutters are quite strong, but can be more prone to oxidation (rusting). Keeping these gutters clean is important to get the most out of them in the medium to long term.
- Vinyl Gutters. The cheapest option, these gutters are light and generally easy to install, however they are not as strong as the other types and are more prone to being damaged or cracked from a powerful storm or a fallen tree branch.
- Gutter Guards/Leaf Guards. No one likes to clean out their gutters because it's usually a dirty, tedious chore, that can also be dangerous, as it requires being on a ladder for long periods of time. Our team can install modern gutter guards and gutter screens that will protect your gutters from particulates like leaves and dirt, while letting the water flow freely through the system. Buffalo Roofing offers a variety of gutter guard and leaf guard solutions that will fit with your home and budget.
