Do I Need Seamless Gutters Around My Entire House?

You just bought a new home, congrats! You noticed the builder installed gutters on the front and back, but left the sides bare. So… do you really need gutters all the way around?

Here’s a better question:

Would you put sunscreen on your whole body and skip your feet? Because the sun will still burn what’s exposed. Gutters work the same way with rain.

Rain doesn’t politely fall only where the builder installed protection. It hits all sides of your roof, and wherever water runs off without a gutter, it can wreak havoc:

• Eroding your soil

• Soaking your foundation

• Warping siding and fascia

• Encouraging mold and rot

• Damaging landscaping or washing away mulch
  

Partial gutter systems often lead to expensive repairs right where the protection stops. Thus, having seamless gutters around your entire home can be more cost effective in the long run.

Why Do Builders Only Install Partial Gutters?

It usually comes down to cost. Builders often install the minimum needed to pass inspection or enhance curb appeal. But because you only have seamless gutters on the sides of your home, it leaves your home vulnerable to damage in those areas, especially where wind-driven rain hits.
