Our Solutionists receive all kinds of questions about our mesh gutter guards and have helped to compile questions they hear from customers. Below are answers to some of the most common inquiries we receive.
Gutter Guard FAQ
Q: My home has a lot of trees in the yard which results in horrible clogs from the falling leaves. I have wasted money on several different, expensive guard systems. How do I know your gutter guards will be different?
A. Mesh guards have been available since the early 2000s. Since then, countless quantities have been purchased. While robust enough to retain large volumes of liquid, they are just as adept at barring even a small piece of sand from passing through. We stand by the excellence of our product with a guarantee (your Solutionist can provide more information, just ask!)
Q. Are mesh gutter guards maintenance free?
A. No gutter guard supplier from any area can provide a guarantee of maintenance-free service. If somebody else from one of these companies pledges this, RUN. It is crucial to secure your home from major water harm and our mission is to secure your residence from clogged gutters plus prevent you from having to put effort into cleaning off the sticky buildup inside them. Usually, the item can self-empty because of the wind although with other constructions, it may be essential to quickly sweep away deposits on its exterior.
Style & Sizes
Q. What sizes are available?
A. Our guards are available for both 5″ and 6″ gutters.
Q. How are the mesh gutter guards installed on the gutters?
A. Our guards are crafted to fit securely, running counter to the openings that some alternatives create. The front portion of the guard is fastened using a zip screw into the lip of the channel and the back portion is affixed with a zip screw to the fascia of the home beneath the drip edge. This keeps water from slipping in behind the gutter.
Q. Can I install mesh guards myself?
A. Qualified personnel must install professional mesh gutter guards. Our teams must pass an installation training course that the manufacturer offers exclusively to install the guard we utilize. A few of the reasons professional installation is critical are due to its aptitude to avert unpredicted issues. Your downpipes must be fully functioning prior to placing Barriers. Furthermore, a competent gutter professional must install to ensure all boards are appropriately positioned and inclined.
Q. Is there anything I should do after my mesh gutter guards are installed?
A. We advise that you equip yourself with a raincoat and an umbrella for the subsequent decent rain after set-up and give the gutter system a quick once-over. (This is because sometimes the product has greasing agents and oils from the installation process, which should auto-clean during the first rainfall after installation). Look out for any area of your residence where water could splash over the gutters. In case there are any spaces where liquid overflows the gutter, note down the location. Give us a call and we will return to perform the necessary adjustments. Then afterward, it is a must for a homeowner to make sure that no further issues arise.
Sales Experience
Q. A salesperson from another company said they have a lifetime guarantee also. Why do so many companies offer a lifetime warranty?
A. This is a very common sales tactic. Normally, when a gutter guard business proposes a lifelong warranty, it implies they will return to unclog your gutters for free. This books you in on the next free spot in their schedule which means you might go weeks with your gutters being blocked up.
Q. I have seen a couple of other products that use stainless steel mesh. What makes yours different?
A. It is sad that many companies out there think it’s okay for their sales staff to do whatever is necessary to land a sale. Instead of taking this approach, we went down a different path by solving, instead of selling. This means talking to the homeowner and discovering the best plan for their unique situation. So, we decided to alter their title from Salesmen, to Solutionists. The Solutionist will analyze your gutters, evaluate your gutters, and provide you with a composed offer. We believe homeowners should be present during the estimation not only to hear the demonstration but also so they can assist the Solutionist in understanding any specific issues you might be facing with your gutters. Undoubtedly, this can contribute greatly to guaranteeing your complete satisfaction.
