Though majestic to behold, storms have been known to spook household pets, rain on parades, and add too much realism to performances of “Rub-A-Dub-Dub.” Battle the elements with today's Groupon: for $59, you get up to $130 worth of gutter cleaning or installation service from California Rain Gutters. Service options are 100 feet of gutters cleaned (a $125 value) or 40 feet of rain-gutter installation (a $130 value). Additional feet of cleaning or installation may be purchased during the time of service for the same price-per-foot ($1.25 per foot for gutter cleaning, $3.25 per foot for rain-gutter installation).

California Rain Gutters’ cleaning-and-installation virtuosos keep foundations stable and basements dry with gutter-mending skills. Skilled technicians remove obstructions from roof-dangling water chutes, ensuring that rainwater runs smoothly away from homes and toward overconfident itsy-bitsy spiders. Clump-free gutters funnel fluids away from foundations and doorways, preventing basements from flooding and houseguests from receiving unwanted showers. Homes without rain-routing accouterments benefit from California Rain Gutters' expert installation services, which equip owners with rust-free eaves troughs. A three-year guarantee on parts and labor eases owner worries, and a lifetime guarantee for baked-on colored enamel ensures pigments last longer than the Sphinx’s sense of superiority.
