Exterior walls are one area where upgrading or adding insulation can make a big difference in the homeowner’s comfort and energy use
Can gutters help my home be more environmentally friendly?
Absolutely! Rain barrels can be used to gather the water that is collected by the gutters. Using gathered rain water in your yard through hoses will reuse valuable water and help save on your utility bill.
Why should I hire somebody to install gutters? Can I do it myself?
As with most home projects, a homeowner can install gutters themselves. The inherent risk with “do-it-yourself” projects is the effect it can have on your home and your wallet. In the case of gutters, if they are not installed properly the home can be damaged by run-off water, which can result in structural damage, mold growth and foundation decay. It is always best to choose a qualified and insured contractor for any home improvement project.
