What are seamless gutters?

Are seamless gutters better than sectional gutters?

Yes, seamless gutters have fewer joints, making them less prone to leaks and clogs.  

What materials do you use for gutters?

How long does it take to install new gutters?

Most installations can be completed in one day, depending on the size of your home and the scope of the job. 

Gutter Repair

How do I know if my gutters need to be replaced?

Signs that you need new gutters include visible rust, cracks, sagging, or frequent overflow during rain. 

What should I expect during a gutter inspection?

We will check for blockages, leaks, and any signs of damage to your gutters, downspouts, fascia, and soffits. Based on our findings, we’ll recommend repairs or maintenance.

Can you repair gutters, or do they need to be replaced?

In many cases, we can repair specific sections of your gutters instead of replacing the entire system. 

What causes gutters to sag, and can this be fixed?

Gutters can sag due to improper installation, excessive weight from debris, or wear over time. We can fix sagging gutters by adjusting or replacing brackets and ensuring proper alignment.

How long do gutter repairs typically last?

With proper maintenance, a well-done gutter repair can last several years, especially if small issues are addressed before they become major problems.

Gutter Cleaning

How often should I clean my gutters?

We recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year, typically in the spring and fall, or more often if your home is surrounded by trees.

How can I prevent my gutters from getting clogged?

Installing leaf guards and scheduling regular cleanings will help keep your gutters free from clogs. 

Can clogged gutters damage my roof?

Yes, when gutters are clogged, water can back up under your roof shingles, causing water damage and even rot to your roof structure.

How soon should I clean my gutters after a hurricane?

It’s important to inspect and clean your gutters as soon as it is safe after a hurricane. Debris such as leaves, branches, and other materials can quickly clog gutters, increasing the risk of water damage to your home during future storms.

Can clogged gutters make hurricane damage worse?

Yes. Clogged gutters can cause water to overflow and pool around your home’s foundation or back up under the roof. This can lead to structural damage, leaks, and weakened foundations, which are especially dangerous during hurricane season. Regular cleaning reduces this risk.

Downspout extensions direct rainwater away from your home’s foundation, reducing the risk of flooding during heavy storms. This service can help protect your home from water damage during intense hurricanes and tropical storms.

How can gutter guards help protect my home during hurricane season?

Gutter guards prevent debris like leaves and branches from clogging your gutters, ensuring that heavy rainwater can flow freely. This reduces the risk of water overflow and potential damage to your roof and foundation during hurricanes.
