What the customer needed
The homeowner wanted to protect the foundation, move roof water away from the front and back porches, and keep future garden areas from receiving concentrated runoff.
What shaped the plan
The farmhouse pairs white board-and-batten siding with black trim, a shingle roof, a standing-seam metal accent above the front porch, and light stone skirting. The photographs show the home during the final stages of exterior construction.
The system and the reasoning
Mac recommended black 6-inch seamless gutters with matching 3-by-4 downspouts positioned at the home's corners. Gutter guards were not recommended because the house was not surrounded by trees.
What dcGutterPRO completed
dcGutterPRO installed black 6-inch seamless aluminum gutters across the farmhouse roof edges and added matching 3-by-4 downspouts at the front porch, side sections, and covered outdoor area.
How the finished system came together
The black system creates a clean outline against the white siding and ties in with the dark roof, window trim, and porch accents. The matching downspouts give collected roof water defined routes to ground level around the home's porch and foundation edges.
