Newport County is known for its vast architectural differences. Wood gutters used to be the most common, but that is changing. Aluminum or copper gutters have become extremely popular for many distinct reasons. Notably, due to the amount of water capacity they can handle and that classic appearance.
Wood gutters are used when a customer is matching an existing building component or are required due to historical reasons. The challenge of wood gutters is that gutter profiles have been standard for the last 50 years or more, but older homes have profiles that are no longer milled. We can make any profile match any older product by milling.
Wood gutters are losing ground to aluminum and fiberglass gutters due to the maintenance required to keep them performing. Joining the wood gutter together is still done with lead flashing and when done properly will perform for 20 to 30 years or more. Coating the inside of the wood gutters is very important step and one that should be done every time you paint the outside of your house, or sooner.
Seamless aluminum gutters are used increasingly every day. Half round gutters are back in style again and being used on modern homes as well. Request a Quote from Newport Construction Services for Gutter Installation and Repair.
