​Having clean gutters is an essential part of home maintenance.  However, many homeowners neglect this admittedly tedious chore, which can lead to gutter damage.  Even if you consistently clean your gutters, your gutters may need to be repaired at some point, due to everyday wear and tear or a severe storm.  It is important to know that a house needs a functioning gutter system.  Gutters channel water away from your home, and if they don’t work properly, you could risk water damage to your house.  Fixing water damage can be very costly, more costly than hiring a professional to clean or fix your gutters.  Below are four reasons why you should have your gutters repaired by a professional.

 ​Colorado loves to flaunt its seasonal weather. Rain, snow, hail, and strong winds bring heavy winters and lush springs, and beautiful weather in between,  but the elements take a serious toll on residential gutter systems.  You can replace rusted sections or patch them up, but doing so requires frequent upkeep and financial investment. Rust is irreversible, and replacement is usually the only way to fix the problem.
