No Gutters On Your New Build Home? Why Your New Jacksonville Home Needs Rain Protection (and Why That Tiny Front Door Gutter Isn't Enough)

Imagine this: keys in hand, you step into your sparkling new Jacksonville abode. Sunlight streams through the windows, palm trees sway in the breeze... wait, their is no gutters on your new build home? Well, there's that one above the front door, but something tells you it's not enough. You're right, future neighbor! While "doorway drizzle deflectors" have their place, let's uncover why full-fledged gutters are essential for your Jacksonville dream home, and why builders sometimes go a little light on the rain protection.

Sunny Skies, Stormy Surprises:

Jacksonville's sunshine might tempt you to think gutters are optional. But those occasional downpours? They're like surprise sprinklers turned up to eleven! Uncontrolled rainwater becomes a sneaky saboteur, targeting:

• Foundations: Imagine watching your foundation crumble because a waterfall cascaded off your roof. Gutters divert that flow, acting like storm-defying knights shielding your home's structural integrity.

• Crawlspace Woes: Basements might be rare in Jacksonville, but those crawlspaces holding your plumbing and electrical? They're vulnerable to moisture mayhem. Gutters keep water away, preventing musty smells, bug infestations, and potential structural damage.

• Siding Sorrows: Water stains, peeling paint, and rotting wood? Not exactly the picture

• Landscaping washout: Imagine your carefully designed landscaping ravaged by uncontrolled rainwater. Gutters channel water away from flowerbeds, walkways, and patios, protecting your outdoor oasis from erosion and flooding.

The "Doorway Drizzle Deflector" Mystery: So, why that lonely gutter above the front door? Sometimes, builders offer it as a cost-saving measure, thinking it's enough. But let's be honest, it's like putting a life preserver on only your pinky toe in a hurricane. It's simply not enough.

Myth Busters:
