Increases the Value of Your HomeTimberTech not only adds value to your life, it helps to add value to your home. Remodeling Magazine's 2009-2010 Cost vs. Value Report estimates a national average of 71% return on investment for composite deck additions*. This is a similar or better return on investment than projects such as bathroom addition, bathroom remodel and major kitchen remodel. To maximize your return, Realty Times suggests using a non-rectangle design, and making your deck an extension of your living space.
*Based on a 16′ x 20′ deck set in simple linear pattern; using pressure-treated joists supported by 4x4 posts anchored to concrete piers; built-in bench and planter of the same decking material; stairs, assuming three steps to grade; complete railing using a matching system made of the same composite as the decking material.

RAINDROP GUTTER GUARD
History of Gutter Guards and Gutter ProtectionThe very first variation of the gutter guard were of the screen variety. They laid flat on top of the gutter catching leaves, pine needles and miscellaneous debris while allowing water to flow in to the gutter. The problem with this was that the debris would build up on top of the gutter guards and cause clogs and need to be attended to. The screen style gutter guard is still in use today and still works just as poorly. The only upside(if that's what you wanna call it) to the screen style is that its cheap, until you find yourself replacing these screens annually.
About fifty years after the creation of the screen style gutter guard came the reverse curve style gutter cover(also known as: solid hood cover, surface tension guard, nose forward cover, or the front slit guard). The reverse curve style was more successful than the previous screen style but it was soon discovered that during heavy downpours water would cascade over the front of the guard, over the gutter and on to the ground, potentially causing serious damage to a homes foundation and landscape. Another downfall to the reverse curve cover is that leaves and pine needles have a tendency to cling to the guard with the water, drawing debris into the gutter and causing clogs. When these systems get clogged and fill up with water some other problems arise including mold growth and the perfect nesting ground for mosquitoes. These types of gutter protection systems tend to be costly.
More recently, there have been some advances in the world of gutter guards. In the early 90's, the micro-mesh style gutter guard was created and seemed to be the end all be all to all gutter maintenance issues. However, while the micro-mesh style does a phenomenal job keeping everything out, it also keeps water out if not maintained on a frequent basis. Throughout the course of a year there are all different types of debris that finds its self down the roof and into the gutter. Aside from leaves, branches, pine needles and pine cones there is also micro debris. Micro debris such as broken down leaves, roof grit and dirt develop a layer of gunk over the top of the micro-mesh systems and prevents water from flowing into the gutter. The micro-mesh systems are the most expensive style of gutter guards on the market.
Last but not least, at the start of the millennium came the future of gutter guards, Raindrop Gutter Guard Systems. Raindrop is a unique gutter guard that has set out to break the common misconception that there is no such thing as a maintenance free gutter guard. It is designed to allow micro-debris into the gutters along with every drop of water intended for the gutter. In doing this, micro-debris flushes out with the water and the slope in which Raindrop is installed helps push large debris off with the help of wind and rain. Anything that can get in the gutter will make its way out one way or another without having to pull out a latter to clean your gutters or gutter guards.
