Do I Need Rain Gutters?
October 22, 2026
In Mobile Alabama we receive approximately 66 inches of rainfall per year. This makes Mobile officially recognized as the rainiest city the United States. With that said rain gutters are a major attribute to protection for your home and adding value to as well.
They do not only, when done properly look attractive. They also protect your roof and your foundation from wood rot to a sagging foundation from erosion.
There are many gutter companies currently looking to capitalize on the need for not only rain gutters but also gutter guards to help keep them from getting clogged up with leaves and debris. They have created a competitive market to obtain your gutter needs which you would hope would have lowered the price to install or repair gutters as well as add gutter guard protection. Well, they have actually done the opposite, they have driven the price up for a couple of reasons. One, the cost of materials which has affected everything we buy nowadays. They other because the local companies are not attracting as many customers as in the past, which forces them to raise prices to stay in business. And also maintain their experience gutter employees. These small local companies that have the most UpToDate equipment and material to build you custom gutters do not have the funds needed to advertise as heavily as the national companies. For example, 3 years ago to buy views to their websites from a google search would cost less them than $4.00 a view, is now well over $25.00 a view.
With this said, there are many great local rain gutter companies in our area that have been around a long time. They have continued to improve on the quality of gutter material and equipment used, They also as making the product more attractive and efficient. They have also expanded the color options available.
