While they may blend in visually with your house, gutters are a key feature in the protection of your home from the elements. When deciding which type of gutters is best, it helps to have a trusted home improvement specialist on your side. Based in Cincinnati, OH, Murphy Home Improvement has been helping area residents upgrade their houses for over 30 years. Whether you need improvements made to your windows, doors, or roof, these professionals can help.

There are several types of gutters, all of which have different characteristics. Murphy Home Improvement runs down three kinds to consider:

• Vinyl: These gutters are simple to install and are minimally vulnerable to rusting. Many homeowners choose them for their lower price point. One weakness of vinyl gutters is they can eventually break down in colder weather.  
• Aluminum: While they’re a little more expensive than their vinyl counterparts, aluminum gutters are more resistant to the weather and have the additional advantage of working well with paint. However, they’re not very strong.
• Stainless Steel: These gutters are the best-quality product out there, but that quality comes at the highest price point. However, you’ll get your money’s worth: They are rust proof, aesthetically pleasing, and extremely strong.
