"I had Ray Soto and CT Gutter Shutter install new gutters and downspouts on my Colonial in the Fall of 2021. I waited this long to leave a review because I wanted to see how the gutters held up, to ensure nothing was leaking, and to see how effective their leaf guard system was. I can say now, with absolute certainty, that this was the best decision I could have made. I initially contacted five companies to assess my house and give me quotes. I chose Ray because of (at least) seven reasons: First, his materials were equal or better than those presented to me by the other companies. Second, he only installed 3â x 4â downspouts, whereas the other companies installed these as an upgrade to their normal 2â x 3â downspouts. Third, the leaf protection system he installs on top of the gutters seemed more effective than any other type I found, even the heavily advertised ones. Fourth, Rayâ s price for replacing rotting fascia boards and soffits was far lower than any other company, which charged an average of $10 per foot of replacement. Fifth, Ray was the only one of the five who took the time to look at the whole house, tell me what he was going to install, how he was going to do it and why, and also make suggestions about fixing or improving other things which he could cost effectively do while he was working on my house. Sixth, he was the only company where he would be onsite for the entire job, supervising his team. With the other companies I only met with a salespersons or owners who basically only did estimates but was not physically on the job. And seventh, his price was lower than the other four estimates! Ray suggested that I have him install vents in the soffits around the entire house, install chimney caps, and replace an outside vent to one of the bathroom fans. I had him do all of these things, and at a very reasonable price. Ray worked with a team of extremely competent, permanent workers (not contractors) and all I could say is that this team, led by Ray was as good as it gets. Having this gutter system installed now for almost a year, I can say that there hasnâ t been a single issue. No leaks whatsoever and the leaf system has been working like a charm. Most companies warrant their leaf systems against clogging, meaning that the gutters wonâ t clog. But for most systems you still need to hose off the leaves and debris that accumulate on the surface of the leaf protection system, and if you have a two story house, youâ re likely not going to be able to do this by yourself. Absolutely nothing sticks to or stays on the Gutter Shutter system, and so no additional cleaning or hosing down appears necessary. Ray and CT Gutter Shutter is the ultimate in house contractors. Besides being incredibly competent, Ray is also one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. Hiring Ray and CT Gutter Shutter was one of the best decisions I have ever made as a home owner."

Gutter Cleaning questions, answered by experts

The best times of year to clean your gutters are typically in the spring and fall. Cleaning in the fall is crucial for removing leaves and debris that have accumulated, which helps prevent clogs. A spring cleaning ensures your gutters are clear and prepared for seasonal rainfall.

As a general guideline, experts recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year. However, the optimal frequency depends on several factors, such as local weather patterns, the type of gutters you have, and the number of trees on your property. If your home is surrounded by many large trees or pine trees, you may need to clean your gutters as often as every three to four months. If you have few or no trees nearby, twice a year is likely sufficient. In some cases, you may need to clean them a couple of times during the fall and spring to keep them clear and allow water to flow freely.

Whether or not you can use a pressure washer to clean your gutter guards depends on the type of gutter guard you have and the strength of the pressure washer. Most gutter guards can handle a low-pressure setting but check first. If you’re unsure if your gutter guard is designed for pressure washing, check your manufacturer’s instructions, ask a pro, or use a garden hose to clean the gutter guard instead. As gutter guards age, they become less resistant to the strong forces of a power washer, so treat older gutter guards with more care.

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.

You can clean the gutters on a two-story house using gutter tongs on an extension pole. However, cleaning second-story gutters from a ladder or the roof is very dangerous and should be done by a professional.

On a typical three-bedroom home, gutter cleaning takes about one hour. For larger homes, especially those with multiple stories, the job can take two to three hours. The time required may increase if the gutters need extensive cleaning, the roof is steep, the gutters are hard to reach, or if gutter guards need to be uninstalled and reinstalled.
