Gutter Installation and Replacement
Proper water management is essential for protecting a home from the foundation issues and landscape damage that can be caused by North Carolina’s heavy rains. We specialize in installing custom-fit seamless gutters that are crafted on-site to perfectly match your home’s dimensions. This process eliminates the numerous joints and seams found in traditional gutters, which are the most common points of failure and leaks, ensuring a more durable and reliable system.
To create a complete, low-maintenance solution, we highly recommend pairing a new seamless gutter installation with a professional-grade gutter guard system. These guards are designed to stop clogs from the leaves, pine needles, and other debris common in the Benson area, ensuring water flows freely year-round. This combined system offers the best possible defense for your home, providing peace of mind and preventing costly water-related repairs down the road.
Commonly Asked Questions
My home is older; what should I look for in a roof inspection?
For the many classic homes found throughout the Benson area, an inspection focuses on both the shingles and the underlying structure. We look for age-related wear like widespread granule loss or curling shingles, but we also pay close attention to the condition of the wood decking underneath. Ensuring the foundation of the roof is solid is a critical step before planning any repair or replacement on an older home.
How do I know if my roof has been damaged by wind?
After a strong storm, visible signs of wind damage include missing shingles on the ground or shingles that have been lifted and are no longer sealed to the roof. You might see a horizontal crease line where the shingle was bent back by the wind. Because this damage can be hard to spot from the ground, a professional inspection is the safest way to assess the full extent of the impact.
Is it better to repair or fully replace my siding?
A targeted repair is an excellent and cost-effective option if the damage is limited to a small section and the rest of your siding is still in good condition. However, if the siding is becoming brittle, faded, or is showing widespread wear, a full replacement is the better long-term investment to ensure your home is fully protected and to provide a complete aesthetic upgrade.
What siding material works best for our climate?
Fiber cement siding is an outstanding choice for its durability and low maintenance. It is completely resistant to the humidity and seasonal moisture that can cause issues like rot and pests. It also holds paint exceptionally well, giving you a long-lasting, beautiful finish that won’t warp or swell, making it ideal for protecting homes in our region.
What makes seamless gutters a better choice for my home?
Seamless gutters are superior because they are custom-fabricated on-site to the exact measurements of your house. This eliminates the multiple seams found in standard sectional gutters, which are notorious for weakening and leaking over time. A seamless system provides a cleaner look and far greater durability against leaks.
Why are gutter guards so important for homes in this area?
With the beautiful, mature trees found throughout the properties in and around Benson, falling leaves, pine needles, and other debris are a constant issue. Gutter guards are essential for preventing this debris from creating dense clogs in your gutters. They ensure that even during a heavy downpour, your system works correctly to channel water safely away from your home’s foundation.
