The 4 Things You Need to Know about Open Gutters

White siding house corner with two windows, a gray shingled roof, and a rain gutter. The clean lines and bright tones convey a well-maintained exterior.

Who wants a home soaked top to bottom in water? No one, that’s who. That’s why getting a quality gutter system is a top priority for any smart homeowner. Open gutters are just one option available to you. If there are four important things that you need to know about open gutters before opting for a purchase, it’s these:

1. They’re very reliable and simple.

As far as gutters in Salem go, open gutters are as simple as they get. There’s a very good reason why they’ve been the go-to gutter system for homes in America for many years: they do the job and do the job well. Coming in sizes of either 5 or 6 inches, they can handle the expected water load for the Salem area. The fact that they’re so simple means that there is little room for error in functioning.

2. They’re easy to clean.

By far one of the biggest advantages of open gutters is that they’re very easy to clean. Other gutter shapes are at a disadvantage because of the bends and corners where debris and dirt tend to collect. The round shape of the open gutter not only leaves no room for clogging, but makes it easy to scoop out what little debris does settle.

3. They’re durable.

We carry open gutters that are hewn from aluminum. Unlike other metals, aluminum naturally comes with a protective oxide coat that staves off rusting. This will significantly reduce maintenance costs over the years—saving you some money! We also ensure that the installation is done professionally the first time, which will significantly increase the lifespan of your gutters.

4. They’re open to some great options.

If there’s one tiny disadvantage to open Salem gutters, it’s that they’re vulnerable in areas where a lot of leaves and debris are expected. If you live in areas that usually have leaves flying all over the place, our clog-free gutter system is a great option. It fits over any gutter and prevents all but water from flowing in. The great part is that investing in this means you never have to clean your gutters again.

Whether it’s quality gutter systems or full remodeling, A&A Services provides both high-quality products, as well as the professional services to get them effectively in place. We’re the company that North Shore residents have been trusting since 1982—and you can too. Give us a call today and we’ll be happy to provide you with a free in-home estimate.

I chose A&A Services for a roof replacement. Rick came out to provide the initial estimate and from then on guided me through the whole process. He was great to work with. No pressure at any time and I was notified every step of the way. No surprises. Aurel and the roofing crew were great too! My roof looks beautiful and more importantly, my house is dry inside! Highly recommend!!

A&A did a very nice job at my house replacing the gutters and downspouts and the main roof and many smaller ones and also the garage roof. They came on time, did a professional job and cleaned up nice when the project was complete. I would definitely use them again.
