Gutters & Leaf Protection

Size does matter

In the past few years the weather has increasingly worsened. We now get frequent heavy downpours that easily overwhelm standard size gutters and when they are full of leaves it does not help things at all. In many cases upgrading from a 5” gutter to a 6” with over sized downspouts is becoming a necessity. Adding some sort of Leaf Protection is also usually warranted.

What’s best for you?

The size, steepness and surroundings of your roof will dictate the size of the gutters and downspouts required. In most all cases custom seamless aluminum gutters are the only viable option. Plastic just will not hold up and if you have the house and cash for it; copper is swell! When it comes to leaf protection there is a wide variety of available options from polystyrene- foam inserts to plastic covers. We can show you all options and explain the pros and cons of every type. You will really get what you pay for in this category, the best options run around $8.00 per ft installed. The cheapest around $3.50 per ft installed.

Fitting

There are different metal gauges available for custom made seamless gutters and those options are offered you. All gutters and downspouts are installed using screws instead of nails that loosen over time. Our gutter contractors painstakingly install them with both function and ascetics in mind. Leaf protection installs easier, faster and works better if done with new gutters.
