Reasons to Consider Rain Barrels:
  • Rain water is naturally soft, so it is better for washing your car and watering indoor plants than tap water.
  • Save money! Use the water you've collected to water outdoor plants – reducing your water and sewage bill!
  • Saving your rain water is a good backup source of water for times of drought or in between rain showers.
  • Rain Barrels can help improve the aesthetics of your house, as they can be beautiful and add lots of character to your home and landscaping. 
Would you really save money??
YES! According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, 40% of water consumption is used for garden and lawn irrigation.
Save Money - Help the Environment - Be Kind To Your Plants

Suggestions From HGTV]]>Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:09:44 -0800http://www.alloygutter.com/1/post/2012/03/spring-is-here.htmlNow that winter is nearing its' end and spring is on the horizon, it is time to get outside and examine your house.(Contractors - encourage your homeowners to do this!!)
The spring sunshine will highlight areas that have taken abuse over the wet winter months. Fan of HGTV? They're #1 home maintenance tip for spring is to get out and take a look at your gutters! 
HGTV's first suggestion is to look for loose or leaky gutters. If your gutters are hanging off your house or if they are getting old, it might be time for a total replacement. You definitely want to avoid improper drainage, which could lead to water leaking into your basement or crawlspace.
HGTV's second suggestion is to check for debris clogging your gutter system. This would be a good time to call on us for a professional gutter cleaning, or perhaps even to consider a leaf protection product.

As always, we would be happy to come out and offer suggestions for your home as well as give you a free estimate. ]]><![CDATA[Reasons To Use Alloy Gutter Company As Your Subcontractor]]>Wed, 22 Feb 2012 10:04:44 -0800http://www.alloygutter.com/1/post/2012/02/reasons-to-use-alloy-gutter-company-as-your-subcontractor.htmlAlloy Gutter has a fully staffed office, 5 days a week, from 6am - 5pm.

Until I bought my own home and cleaning the gutters became my responsibility.

I live in a small home; however it’s surrounded by trees.  As pine needles, helicopters, leaves, walnuts, birds’ nests, tennis balls and all sorts of other interesting accessories collected in my gutters, it didn’t take long before they were full of water and overflowing with rancid, brown-colored ooze.

So my Saturday would look a little something like this:  Haul the ladder out, strategically and carefully wrestle it around trees, shrubs, electrical meters, decks, and walkways,  begin removing a copious amount of black smelly gutter muck from the gutters and downspouts, and running a garden hose up the ladder to spray out as much of the debris as possible.  (By this time an audience of half a dozen or so neighborhood kids would be standing beneath my ladder, watching with particular interest).  By the end of the process, I’ve been dive bombed by angry, overly protective mother birds, nearly fallen off the ladder, and covered myself from head to toe in gutter muck.  (I suppose it is entertaining for the kids).  Now every time I reach for the ladder, I hear a neighbor kid yell, “HEY EVERYBODY, HE’S GETTING THE LADDER OUT!”

It gets worse.  This is a process that requires constant attention throughout the year. To ensure that your gutters are draining properly, they need to be cleaned out on a consistent basis.  It doesn’t take but a handful of leaves (or 1 rogue tennis ball) to clog your downspout outlet.  One clogged outlet could result in a basement full of water or washed out landscaping. 

Turns out that leaf protection is quite functional and cost effective.  We offer a wide range of leaf protection products, all of them effective, affordable, and zero maintenance products.

clogged gutters
Fall is here and the leaves have begun to descend.  Homeowners may be thinking about how they can keep their gutters from clogging with leaf and debris build-up.  Besides having to spend a Saturday cleaning out the gutters, homeowners may be surprised to find out that there are other ramifications to unprotected gutters.

• Clogged gutters can cause water to back up into the house, leading to wall and ceiling damage. 
• Landscaping can be ruined by overflowing water. 
• Excessive water around the foundation of a home may eventually cause cracks around the
   foundation walls.
• The wood fascia around the house can rot by water backing up from the clogged gutters. 
• Standing water in your gutter attracts insects.

Alloy Gutter also offers a Gutter Cleaning Service.
