Protecting Our Home

Leaves, seeds, twigs and debris can easily fall into a home's drain system creating a nightmare. Soon the gutters get clogged, and the water from rain begins to cause chaos on your roof and walls.
Not having gutter covers makes no sense. It is an inexpensive way of protecting the stability of your house. Left unchecked, corrosion and rotting will start to occur and the damage will be so advanced that replacing gutter might be required or maybe even fixing walls and roof.


I always recommend getting gutter guards no matter how expensive or innovative you think your current drainage is. Gutter guards will prolong the live of your gutters and it will protect your biggest investment in bad weather.
Check your home gutters today. Is there some leaves or other debris in there? If the answer is yes, it is time to schedule an appointment with a gutter installation specialist, you should see that installing gutters seems economical relative to potential expenses due to poor planning. Ask for advantages and disadvantages of different materials and choose the one that fits better your house.

Cleaning and Gutter Repair

Just briefly I wanted to let everyone now that sometimes the best course of action is to repair your gutters. Yes, it might be better to repair than purchase new ones and I'll tell you why: installations cause a toll in homes, specially old ones. Weight the benefits against the potential dangers, the chemicals in the air, the noise, the financial investment and decide for your self.

Gutter Guards and Leaf Guards Installation

So you are thinking of getting new aluminum gutter guards for your home, read the following before you do and get the upper hand!
Would you paint on a dirty canvas? Can you stick something on a decadent wall? It is common sense, but some services out there go to install new gutter guards in your house and not always clean first.


It is imperative that the gutter company realizes the importance of "having a clean canvas" before they start working. You will probably pay good money for new gutter guards or leaf guards, and they can potentially fall or just don't work properly if a professional does not install them.
Like scotch tape, gutters can fall if not attached to a clean straight surface. Ask the person or business that does your roofing if they will clean the area and the current system before installing the new product, they should have implemented good steps in their modus operandi to do a good job when they are required to.
Don't be shy about looking around, there many companies that specialize solely on gutters and they can probably give you the best prices and quality of products and service.
