Do gutter guards work in heavy rain?

• <div><p>Gutter guards work in heavy rain, but perhaps not as well. The main purpose of gutter guards is to protect your gutters from getting clogged with debris, which can be carried (or worsened) by heavy rain. However, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-ways-clogged-gutters-can-damage-home.htm">clogged gutter</a> isn’t the only reason rain isn’t traveling through your gutter properly. Other reasons include roof shingles extending past your gutters, improperly installed gutters, or incorrect gutter sizes. </p><p>If you suspect you have any of these other gutter issues, it may be more cost-effective to repair your gutters first and see if that solves the problem before investing in gutter guards.</p></div>

Q: Do icicles mean clogged gutters?

• <div><p>Icicles can form if your gutters are clogged, but that&rsquo;s not always the issue. You could also have an ice dam on your roof from poor insulation inside. In that case, the melting snow can refreeze in the gutter even if there isn&rsquo;t a clog. If you&rsquo;re unsure of the underlying problem, call in a roofing company to assess the issue and implement a permanent solution for you.</p></div>

Q: Should gutter downspouts touch the ground?

• <div><p>Unless you've chosen to install underground downspouts, your gutter downspouts shouldn't touch the ground. If they come into contact with the soil or pavement next to your home, rainwater can back up into them during a storm, preventing them from doing their job effectively. Instead, aim to have your downspouts end about 12 inches from the ground. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain my gutters?

• <div><p>Once you&rsquo;ve installed your gutters, you'll need to maintain them. You should clean your gutters once or twice a year to keep them functioning correctly. But if climbing a ladder and scooping out handfuls of wet leaf gunk is just not your thing, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/gutter-cleaners/">hire a professional gutter cleaner near you</a> to do the job. </p></div>

Q: Should you remove icicles from your roof?

• <div><p>It can be dangerous to remove icicles from your roof, so the best option is to treat the underlying issue instead, usually by ensuring proper insulation in your home. If you&rsquo;re concerned about immediate damage, you can hire a professional to remove the icicles and the snow accumulation on your home to prevent the issue from recurring. Just make sure you use a long-term solution, too, like addressing insulation problems or installing roof heating coils on your roof.</p></div>

Jerry did an excellent job. Showed up exactly when he said he would and showed me along the way the issues he encountered - which were plenty since I hadn't had the gutters cleaned in 12 years and pretty sure the prior owners hadn't. Lots and lots of roofing debris. He quoted his price upfront...

Brannan's was an excellent company to work with. From my initial inquiry to the clean-up, Brannan's was timely, accurate, responsive, careful in their work, and thorough in hauling away old windows and completing clean-up both inside and outside.

They installed fascia (made repairs) and gutters with 16 inside/outside corners, not an easy task. They also installed gutter guards to complete the job. Both management and installers were polite and professional. We are more than happy with the results.

I chose them based on recommendations from neighbors. I was not thrilled by their performance. The roofing was okay and I would give them a 6 or 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. They didn?t do the gutter guards themselves, but contracted that out. The people who came for that will get a 1 out of 10....
