Our new (very old) house has no rain gutters. It very clearly used to, but no longer. Water pouring off the roof is causing some erosion problems in the yard, and more problematic water is not being moved away from the house leading to the customary basement water issues.

I need a recommendation for both (1) what type of gutters people have good luck with and (2) who is a trustworthy contractor to install these gutters.

Thanks!
