I am only interested on putting the rain gutters on the lanai (less than 40 feet total). Does anyone have recommendations for installers if I decide it may help? We are new to the Villages and don't have much experience dealing with contractors here.
Gutters definitely help. BUT depending on which way the wind blows during a rainstorm/hurricane, the lanai still gets water. Not much you can do about that, other than installing windows.
