Boston, MA, April 07, 2011 -- Gutter Helmet, the original gutter protection system, has declared 2011 to be “The Year of Home Improvement” after viewing industry statistics and their own sales. The trend is being driven by several different groups of homeowners and new, emerging trends in home ownership and home improvement.
One driving factor is the green technology movement, which has filtered down from the corporate and government environments to the home. Technologies such as energy-efficient water heaters, solar panels, heat-efficient windows, and other relatively simple “green” improvements have been selling well, with high consumer interest online and in stores.
Second, there is a quiet trend of homeowner optimism that the housing market has approached bottom and will soon turn around. With the surplus of contracting labor and lower prices at home improvement stores, improvements to homes are cheaper than ever, and will add value as housing begins to appreciate in the future. Homeowners are thinking ahead and planning improvements both to make their homes more luxurious, and to raise their value in the future.
Finally, older homeowners are choosing to stay in their homes rather than move to a managed care facility or retirement community. These homeowners are seeking to make their homes both more efficient and easier to manage as they age and require help to maintain their homes on lower incomes.
Gutter Helmet’s gutter guards are aimed to suit all three trends. Gutter Helmet prevents gutter blockages and other problems, preventing damage to roofs, siding, and foundations; gets rain to the ground instead of trapped on roofs; and reduces the need for risky gutter cleaning work on the part of homeowners and contractors. Gutter Helmet looks forward to entering the year of home improvement, helping homeowners keeping their gutters clear.
About Gutter Helmet:
Founded in 1979 by Robert Demartini, Gutter Helmet pioneered a new market in gutter guards and gutter protection with its innovative “nose-forward” design that sloughed off debris while allowing water to flow into the gutter using capillary action, proving superior to the mesh screens used in gutters since the 1960s.
As a result of his work on Gutter Helmet, Demartini has been granted seven patents for gutter protection. In 2005, Gutter Helmet was acquired by Southeastern Metals, owned by Gibraltar Industries, a billion-dollar company in the field of metal craftsmanship for the home.
