Common Questions About Gutters
Q: Should I hire a professional gutter installer to install my gutters?
A: Yes. Seamless gutters, offer the best value and can only be installed on-site by a professional.
Q: What if I only need to repair or replace a section of my gutter?
A: Do-it-yourselfers should only attempt gutter installation with the proper safety equipment and must be comfortable on a ladder. Also make sure to be extremely aware of contact with power lines.
Q: Our home does not have a fascia board. It has exposed eaves with the rafters coming out. Can gutters be installed on this type of area?
A: There are several methods for hanging gutters from rafter ends. One method is to install fascia boards for mounting. Another is by installing hidden hangers and roof straps to install the gutter system.
Q: My gutters leak/spill over in the middle but don't appear to sag. I checked and they are not clogged with leaves. What should I do?
A: Use caution while up on the ladder. The first thing is to confirm that the gutter is not sagging, spikes may be loose causing imperceptible sagging, and draining water away from the gutter downspout. Use a builders level and check the direction of flow. Also, check the gutter outlets for any hidden obstructions that may be slowing the water flow. If everything is found to be in order, you may need additional downspouts to handle the volume of water coming off the roof. Additional outlets and downspouts can easily be added to existing gutter systems.
Q: Can I paint my gutters?
A: Yes, but it is not recommended, for it will void any paint finish warrantees, and will shorten the life of the gutters as paint will more easily peel and chip away from the aluminum.

The Advantage of Seamless Gutters
“Seamless” is usually a word you hear in terms of clothing or fabric, not rain gutters. However, seamless gutters are a new development that can be a big improvement over traditional gutters. The reason is that traditional gutters are assembled and attached by various types of connectors, and every place where there is a connection, or “seam” is a place where rain can leak through. Over time these leaks can get bigger, causing wood rot, peeling paint, wear and tear on your roof, mildew. They can cause problems in your foundation when the rain moves down the side of the house to the ground level.
Seamless aluminum gutters are made on the spot with a machine, so they are customized to the exact dimensions of your house. Most seamless gutters come with a warranty not to leak for a number of years. Seamless gutters offer an effective protection from the damaging effects of rain.
They’re custom fitted to your house, and have a coating of baked on enamel, which means they never need painting. In order to work properly, seamless gutters need to be installed correctly, taking into account the proper pitch to the gutter so fine debris and water flow and drain the right way.

Why Keep Gutters Clean?
|
Failing to clean gutters regularly can cause problems. In fact failing to clean can cause twice the damage as no gutters and is essential to the upkeep of any property. Ice-damming is another major issue with clogged gutters. Blocked water can freeze when it backs up in the gutters, pushing up against the roof structure and working its way under the shingles destroying the wood, causing even more leaks.
