You can say a lot of things about roofs, and most of them might be true. But one thing that nobody can argue with is that roofs are tops. This statement can be taken in several ways. A roof does for the top of your home. It can also act like a "top" or lid for your home, keeping the rain out. Then, there's the third meaning, which is the one we happen to like the most: roofs are the best. (People say things are "tops" when they really like them.) Since we like roofs so much, we've decided to write about them, and you've discovered the blog where we do that.

Why You Might Want To Consider Upgrading Your Gutters Before Winter
Brian Riley
Winter is on its way and with it comes a whole host of challenges that each homeowner must tackle. For those who live in colder environments, there is a lot of work to do to ensure your home can withstand the pressure that potentially comes from snow as well as stronger winds and freezing cold temperatures. One area of the home that often gets overlooked during the start of winter preparation is the gutters. Fortunately, there is a newer, more modern way of gutter manufacturing that helps ensure your gutters last for decades with minimal wear and tear. As such, you might want to think about upgrading them now rather than during winter.
Seamless Gutters
Seamless gutters are specifically designed for each new building they are applied to. Instead of regulation lengths of guttering that have joints at certain intervals, seamless gutters are singular pieces of material formed out of larger sheets of metal. This way, are no connections or edges where two pieces meet up. This makes the whole process of funneling water from your roof to your stormwater drain much easier. In addition, there are other benefits of these gutters that are specifically helpful for winter weather too.
Less Chance Of Premature Aging
One reason why seamless gutters are so good for winter weather is that there is no chance of water getting stuck in the cracks and little gaps between the gutter joints. When water gets stuck in those gaps, it can then freeze when the temperature drops below a certain level. As the water freezes it can cause the joints to separate because of the expanding water. While this might not have a huge effect initially, over the lifetime of your gutters this can have a real impact and cause major leaks and holes to occur.
Seamless Gutter Installation
If you are thinking about getting seamless gutters installed then do so before the temperature drops too significantly. That's because working outside in colder weather is hard due to the numbness of fingers and so on. Seamless gutter installation is a very precise job because everything is designed to fit perfectly, so even a few inches one way or the other can cause significant issues. Always use expert services for seamless gutter installation or you may end up regretting it. That's because this job requires special tools and an experienced workforce to do it right the first time.
