"I have to say that Five Star Rain Gutters was definitely 5 stars for sure. Everyone there is friendly and willing to go the extra mile. Melissa was great! She made sure everything was set from the estimate to the scheduling of the install. They got the estimate done quickly and I had told them that I'd call them when it was time to install. After my roof and fascia boards were replaced by my roofers, I called them back to schedule a day to have them install the gutters. From that call, they were able to come out in 10 days! Wow! That's fast! The installers arrived exactly on time. Andy (the foreman) was fantastic. Before they started, he took me around the house and showed me exactly what was planned per estimate. He was spot on. He said they would finish up at 3:30 p.m. and sure enough, he was spot on again. They installed the gutters, downspouts, gutter screens and it all looks 5 star beautiful! Cleanup was 5 star, and they even went and cleaned off any smudges from gutters making the gutters sparkle. The guys did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend them to do your rain gutters. Did I mention they were very quiet on the roof and property? No stomping on the roof which I really appreciated since it was a new roof. I did observe them carefully walking on my roof. Thanks, Five Star Rain Gutters!"

If you want to avoid burying your downspouts, several alternatives can help direct water away from your home's foundation. One option is to connect a rain barrel to your downspout. During a storm, the barrel collects water that you can later use for irrigating your lawn or garden. Another common solution is to install an above-ground downspout extension. This can be done in a couple of ways:
Splash Guards: Placing a splash guard, available at most hardware stores, under your downspout can act as a simple funnel to direct water away from the house.
Downspout Extensions: You can add an extension to the end of the downspout's elbow to carry water further into your yard. Some extensions are flexible, allowing you to maneuver them around landscaping.
These above-ground solutions are particularly useful if your home has a slab foundation that you cannot dig up. However, they have limitations. An extension may not move water as far from your home as an underground system. More importantly, if your yard slopes back toward your house, these methods will be ineffective, and burying your downspouts remains the best option to prevent potential flooding and water damage.
Yes, professionals can spot and rectify downspout issues such as clogs, leaks, or disconnections during cleaning. They ensure proper water flow, protecting the building's foundation and preventing water damage or erosion.
Regular cleaning, checking for leaks, and applying protective coatings help prevent corrosion.
It’s best to schedule regular gutter cleanings before there’s a major issue, but sometimes life gets in the way. Luckily, a few telltale signs will let you know when to clean your gutters ASAP:
You notice built-up debris in your gutters.
Your gutters overflow with water when it rains.
Water doesn’t readily flow from your downspouts.
Your gutters are damaged or visibly leaking.
You notice evidence of leaking along your roof, siding, yard, or pavement.
Your gutters have pulled away from your roofing or exterior walls.
You see water damage on your soffits or fascia.
You have weeds growing in your gutters.
You start to see ants or other insects around your gutters or in your home.
You suddenly have issues with leaks in your crawl space or basement.
To clean the tops of gutter guards, use a soft-bristle brush or a leaf blower to remove debris like leaves, twigs, or dirt. For stubborn grime, spray the guards with a garden hose, directing water downward to avoid forcing debris into the gutter. If the guards are removable, take them off and rinse thoroughly before reattaching. Regular cleaning, especially during fall or after storms, will help maintain their effectiveness.
