Gutters Service: Protecting Your Home
If you’re like most homeowners, gutter service is something you don’t keep on your radar. The only time you think about gutters is when water flows over the sides, a piece breaks, or you observe ice dams forming on top of them. Gutters and gutter service are essential to your home’s exterior and should be kept on the same schedule as your roof inspection and maintenance. Without functional gutters, water can seep into your home’s foundation and cause costly structural damage. No one wants to experience that problem during bad weather.
Gutter service and maintenance are vital to avoid a more significant problem as your gutters and roof age. Homeowners need to understand the function of gutters and notice when small things or damage to their existing gutters appear. Luckily, Matute Roofing will work with homeowners to eliminate worry and keep gutters working to help other aspects of your home. To discuss gutter service for your home, don’t hesitate to contact one of Matute Roofing’s knowledgeable staff. We guarantee your gutters accent your home’s aesthetic and function perfectly too!
Clean Gutters = Healthy Gutters
Gutter service includes cleaning, repairing, and replacing gutters as necessary. Cleaning gutters is messy, but removing any accumulated debris inside them is essential. This debris usually includes leaves, twigs, pine needles, and anything else that gets caught in the gutter system. Removing this material is essential to maintain the proper water flow away from your home. If not removed, it can cause blockage and lead to water backups around your house.
Maintaining your Gutters with Matute’s Gutter Service
Gutters play a significant role in protecting your home from different natural events. Gutter service and maintenance will help prevent water damage to your siding, roof, and foundation, which can lead to costly repairs. During the gutter inspection process, a qualified technician from Matute Roofing will look for any signs of decay or damage. If these problems are found, they can be addressed during the same visit.
Everything from rodents to a substantial buildup of ice or snow can cause severe damage to your gutters, roof, and home. Regular gutter service is vital to keeping your home safe and secure. Matute Roofing can provide the necessary maintenance to prevent any problems and address problems with sagging gutters, leaks, improper gutter slopes, clogged or blocked gutters, and damage.
Are Gutters Needed on My Home?
Although gutters aren’t required by law, gutters often deter many problems associated with rainwater. Gutters are especially helpful in keeping water away from your home’s foundation and siding. If you live in an area with heavy rain, gutter service is even more important to keep up with.
If you want to improve your home’s look and increase its value, gutters may be an excellent option. Gutters can be customized to match any house style and give it a more modern look. They are also shown to:
- Prevent Basement Damage
- Prevent Damage to Siding
- Prevent Foundation Issues
- Prevent Flower Bed Erosion
- Prevent Roof Damage
Prevent Basement Damage:
Gutters are vital if you have a basement, especially a finished one. Water can enter your home around the foundation and cause basement flooding if your home is not equipped with a gutter system. Gutters are a cost-effective investment to mitigate a much larger problem. Let Matute Roofing provide simple gutter installation to protect your basement and your most significant asset.
Prevent Damage to Siding:
If your home has a minimal overhang, rainfall can wreak havoc on your siding. Rainfall can cause staining and discoloration, which will lead to costly repairs. Installing gutters on your home can save you from future maintenance costs and help protect your siding from the elements.
By scheduling regular gutter service with Matute Roofing, you ensure your gutters are effectively draining water away from your home. With our team of qualified technicians, you can trust that your gutters will be well-maintained and ready to take on whatever Mother Nature throws their way. Keep your home protected with Matute Roofing’s gutter service!
Prevent Foundation Issues:
Rain falling straight off your roof can erode the ground around your foundation and cause other severe problems. Gutters redirect rainwater away from your foundation and keep it at a safe distance. With our gutter installation services, our technicians can help position gutters in the right location to ensure maximum water protection for your home’s foundation.
Say goodbye to the trenches or troughs rainwater can form around your home’s foundation. By investing in gutter service from Matute Roofing, you can ensure your home’s foundation remains strong and water damage-free.
Prevent Flower Bed Erosion:
Gutter installation protects more than just a home’s foundation and siding. When gutters are installed, they protect precious landscaping around your home. Without gutters, runoff water can erode flower beds, raise soil levels, and wash away mulch and soil from around your house.
Gutters can protect other exterior elements, including decks, patios, and walkways. The damage caused by runoff water can be costly, so invest in gutter services with Matute Roofing.
Prevent Roof Damage:
In addition to the other benefits, gutters protect your home’s roof. When gutters become blocked or clogged, rainwater has nowhere to go. The water then accumulates along the edges of your roof, damaging your existing roof shingles, especially during freezing temperatures. Standing water forced along a roof’s edge can lead to ice dam formation during winter, causing even more severe roof and structural damage. Ice dams can cause extensive damage to your gutters and roof if left unchecked for long periods.
Matute Roofing will inspect your roof, gutters, and other home elements to ensure they are in good condition. If there is any wear or tear on the existing gutter system, our highly-trained technicians will repair them promptly.
Add Flair and Design to Your Home:
The installation of gutters doesn’t require much planning. After homeowners select the gutters that complement their current or new siding, roof color, and the design elements found on the rest of the house, installation is an easy process. Homeowners can decide if they want gutters to be a focal point or prefer them to be camouflaged. Once installed, gutters add value and enhance the home’s curb appeal.

Are Gutter Service and Covers Worth the Investment?
Gutter covers are worth the investment. Gutter covers provide several advantages to your home’s rainwater management. The most obvious benefit is that they keep leaves and other debris out of your gutters, which prevents clogs and flooding.
They also help prevent:
Pest Infestations
Pests often find homes in your gutters. Mice, squirrels, bats, and birds can build nests, and spiders may find it the perfect location to lay eggs. Mosquitos enjoy the wet environment and create chaos around the home.
Ice Dams
Water that doesn’t drain from your gutters will probably freeze during winter weather. At that time, gutters develop ice dams during thawing and refreezing temperatures. Gutter covers help prevent clogs and improve water flow to assist in draining water from the pipes during those warmer times.
Brush Fires
When dry leaves and pine needles lay in the gutters, they create a fire hazard. If you live in an area that experiences frequent fires, know that embers can travel in the wind, land in your gutters, and set the debris ablaze. Gutter covers create a physical barrier between wind-blown embers and debris in a home’s gutters.
Blockages and Water Damage
The weight of trapped water and waterlogged debris can cause the gutters to sag or pull away from your home. This damage is an expensive repair or replacement that properly installed gutter covers can avoid. As we learned, gutters can cause soil erosion, foundation cracks, basement flooding, and other damage if blocked or clogged. When water enters places, it isn’t meant to be, mold and mildew can infiltrate the area.
Biological and Mold/Mildew Growth
Clogged or dirty gutters provide the perfect setting for the growth of biological matter. Whether it is a tree seed thriving in the humid soil and water or mold spores entering unprotected gutters, there is potential for damage. Gutter covers prevent all these seeds and soil from entering and keep water flowing properly.
