How Gutters Help Maintain the Value of a Home

Are you wanting to bump up your home’s value to put it on the market? Do you want to increase curb appeal? Maybe you are just wanting to get the best bang for your buck? Well maintaining your gutters and roof will not only help keep the value of your home, but also give potential buyers a great first impression.

A sturdy roof and intact gutters are among the most important factors in determining a home’s value. Why? Well without them, other improvements on the home are worthless. When a potential buyer comes to see your home, the first impression is based on the condition of the home’s exterior. Cracked, drooping gutters will serve as a red flag for buyers who aren’t wanting to deal with the possible damage they have caused. Unkempt gutters can easily indicate poor water circulation, mold, and a poor foundation. Buyers who see gutters in poor condition may not even make it in the front door. As far as helping curb appeal, something as simple as painting the gutters to match the home’s trim or exterior color can go a long way.

Quality Rain Gutters

A good roof and sturdy rain gutters help keep the home’s foundation dry and in good standing. They also ensure attics, landscaping, interior walls, and exterior siding all stay in tip top shape. Another added value is the installation of a gutter protection system which may be favorable to the homebuyers who absolutely hate cleaning their gutters.

Help Your Home Sell

Gutters may seem like a last priority when getting your home ready for the market; however, they can serve as one of the most important pieces in buying value when it comes to a buyer’s first impression and the overall condition of the house
