Gutters & Accessories

Gutters & Accessories keep rainwater moving away from roofs, walls, and foundations, reducing the risk of basement leaks, erosion, and siding damage. This section brings together gutter systems, downspouts, connectors, guards, sealants, and installation hardware so you can build, repair, or upgrade roof drainage with confidence. Whether you’re matching a new build or refreshing an older system, the right components improve flow, cut maintenance, and boost curb appeal.

Choose profiles and materials to fit your climate and style. K-style and half-round gutters in aluminum, vinyl, galvanized steel, or copper offer different looks and durability. Common sizes include 5-inch for most homes and 6-inch for higher rainfall or larger roof areas. Pair gutters with drip edge flashing to guide water cleanly off shingles and into the trough, and use color-matched finishes and corrosion-resistant fasteners for long-lasting performance.

Accessories make the difference in day-to-day reliability. Downspouts, elbows, outlets, miters, and end caps shape the path; hidden hangers or fascia brackets provide strong support; and sealants or butyl seam tape stop leaks at joints. Leaf protection options include micro-mesh guards for fine debris and pine needles, screens for broad leaves, and foam inserts for quick retrofits. Add strainers, splash blocks, diverters, and rain chains to control discharge, or integrate rain barrel diverters for water harvesting.

Installation and maintenance are straightforward with the right tools. Snips, crimpers, a rivet or nut-driver, a caulk gun, levels, and chalk lines speed accurate assembly. Pitch gutters about 1/4 inch per 10 feet toward outlets, space hangers every 24–36 inches (closer in snow zones), and extend downspouts 4–6 feet from the foundation. For gutter repair and cleaning, use scoops, hose nozzles, and safety-stabilized ladders. Schedule seasonal gutter maintenance to prevent clogs, reduce ice issues, and protect landscaping. From DIY gutter installation to pro-grade upgrades, this lineup supports reliable, low-maintenance drainage and better building protection.
