Affordable rain gutters in Provo may not be something you have thought a lot about, but they can be a lifesaver as you are staring down the teeth of another winter in Utah with another season of ice and snow melt, plus rain. The last thing you need is rain gutters that don’t function, leaving you with puddles of water and runoff that freezes and causes a slippery sidewalk and movement hazard. New rain gutters are not as expensive as you might think, and if they save you a doctor’s visit or home owner’s insurance claim, they are well worth the price.

What can you do to ensure you find affordable rain gutters in Provo? First, start with a professional, not just a DIY blog for advice. You can put a lot of different materials on your home for rain gutters, and some are so inexpensive you’ll be surprised, but each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, things a blog might not clarify.

For example, vinyl rain gutters are easy to install yourself and easy on the pocketbook, but they also have the drawbacks of not lasting as long as aluminum or steel. Additionally, vinyl rain gutters only come in ten-foot lengths, so you will have seams showing, which may not be the look you are going for. Finally, although vinyl rain gutters aren’t going to spontaneously decompose, those seams will leak over time.

Aluminum isn’t much more expensive than vinyl, but it lasts a lot longer and can be formed and sized to fit your home so you don’t have seams showing and you do have a more consistent, elegant look.

Both types of affordable rain gutter in Provo are easy on your bank account and both are customizable for color and style. Which you choose is a matter of preference for the long haul.
