How gutters extend the life of your roof
I’ve always thought of gutters as just a way to keep rainwater from dripping all over the place, but a neighbor told me they actually help protect the roof too. Now I’m curious how that works. My house in Santa Barbara gets a lot of sun most of the year, but when the rain does come, it can be heavy. Can properly installed gutters really make a difference in how long a roof lasts?

Yes, gutters play a bigger role than most people realize. They channel rainwater away from the roof and foundation, which prevents water from pooling and causing damage over time. Without gutters, water can seep into the edges of the roof, leading to leaks, wood rot, or even mold issues. I had new gutters installed a couple of years back, and it really improved how well my roof held up through the rainy season.
