Q: How far apart should downspouts be on gutter systems?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s possible to run a gutter for 30 to 40 feet without a downspout in some cases, you really should place a downspout every 20 feet. Too long of a gutter run without a downspout means that the downspouts you do have will more easily get overwhelmed since the gutters divert water from a larger portion of the roof to them.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to paint gutters?

• <div><p>It can be worth painting gutters if they look worn and old but are still functioning properly. Gutters should define and complement your roofline, not detract from the look of your home. Rust can be treated and potentially removed before repainting, but severely rusted gutters may need to be replaced instead. If your gutters simply aren't functioning, try cleaning them out.</p></div>

Q: Should gutters and downspouts be the same size?

• <div><p>When connecting a gutter to a downspout, make sure that both have the same outlet capacity. Meaning starting from your gutter and moving downwards, the diameter should match so you have a secure seal. Make sure you&rsquo;re working downwards when attaching the pipes (for example, the gutter fits inside the downspout) as doing the reverse will cause leaks. </p></div>

Q: Can I paint my gutters to look like copper?

• <div><p>You can paint your gutters to look copper by using a copper-colored liquid or spray paint. To give your gutters a shiny appearance, choose a rust or metallic paint and primer. This option is a cost-effective way to achieve the coveted look of real copper gutters without spending the money. Be sure to choose a high-quality exterior paint that is designed to withstand the elements. </p></div>

Q: How can I hang Christmas lights without damaging my gutters?

• <div><p>Several options for hanging Christmas lights won't damage gutters. Using shingle clips avoids any hardware contact with them, and using plastic gutter clips minimizes the likelihood of scratching gutters. Remember not to rest a ladder, especially a metal one, against the gutters, and use a ladder stand-off device or stabilizer if you need to use an extension ladder. </p></div>

"Michael Lyday was the technician and was very professional and courteous. He set a trap and returned the next morning to find a female raccoon. He also found she’d been nursing and captured two kits in the crawl space. He told me to tell him if I heard anymore sounds which I did when he returned the following day. He captured two more kits and told me to call him again if I heard any more sounds. There weren’t any more and I was impressed that he still called to follow up. I was completely satisfied with his humane methods of removing the animals from my property."
