Service for Gutter and Downspout Systems in Wichita, KS

​​We bet you just thought gutters and downspouts were designed to keep you from having to walk through a sheet of water when you walk out the front door…

Turns out, they have a much more important job!

Purpose

Gutters and downspouts direct water from the roof so that it flows away from the home or commercial building, which protects the building’s foundation. We highly recommend that any structure that has a basement or a crawl space has gutters and downspouts.

These roofing features can also keep your siding or paint from becoming discolored by repeated splashing. They can also protect any landscaping that you have done around the property and prevent it from being washed away.

As you can see, there are many reasons why Clark’s Roofing and Construction should install gutters and downspouts on your residential or commercial building.

Other Accessories

A simple gutter and downspout system is all most customers need. But in some cases, other items may be required to fully protect your roof and the area around your home.

For example, some customers request that we add a gutter drain extension to the end of their downspout. These extenders guide the water farther away from your home, protecting landscaping or walkways from being flooded.

We sometimes are asked to install leaf guard gutters as well. There are different brands of this type of gutter, but all do about the same thing – they prevent leaves and other debris from getting in the gutter or downspout and causing a clog. This is, of course, most helpful if your home or business is partially bordered by trees. Other structures may not benefit all that much from leaf guard gutters.
If you are unsure about additional features that you may need, you can always ask our helpful technicians when they come out to do your free inspection and estimate!

Types of Gutters and Downspouts

We can install different types of gutters and downspouts on your home or commercial building. You have the following varieties to choose from:

• K-style – The bottom and back of the gutter are both flat, while the front side has some decorative shape. K-style gutters work well for many different kinds of homes and businesses.
• Half-round – As the name more than implies, these gutters are round on the bottom and open on the top. Half-round gutters look best on historic homes and businesses.

After you have chosen the shape of your gutter, you will then need to decide what material will suit the look of your residence or commercial property best. These are some of your options:
​

• Aluminum– Aluminum gutters and downspouts are popular because it is lightweight and is resistant to rust. It can be painted to match the exterior of your building and it is relatively inexpensive.
• Copper – No one can deny the stunning beauty of copper. We most often install copper gutters and downspouts on historic renovations because of the cost and distinct look.
• Steel – A less common choice, steel gutters and downspouts have many advantages. They are extremely strong and come in lots of colors.
