Q: Can you replace a soffit without removing gutters?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s technically possible to remove some soffit material without removing your gutters, but it&rsquo;s usually a good idea to remove gutters, fascia, and soffit and then reinstall them in the opposite order. Replacing soffits without removing gutters is likely to leave you with a less professional and clean appearance, and you&rsquo;re more likely to do damage to your gutters and fascia boards in the process.</p></div>

Q: What are some cons of gutter guards?

• <div><p>While gutter guards offer significant advantages, they also have some drawbacks&mdash;namely, they don't completely eliminate the need for cleaning, and certain objects (like mold or large debris) can still damage your roof. If they're installed improperly, they can void the roof warranty, and heavy guards could even damage your roof fascia or roof material itself. This is why it's vitally important to have a pro install your gutter guards.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;t the only reason rain isn&rsquo;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: How long do painted gutters last?

• <div><p>Because gutters are consistently exposed to elements like water and humidity, any paint applied to them will have a shorter life span than other exterior home features, like siding and shutters. In general, painted gutters will need to be touched up or completely repainted every 5 to 10 years, though you may get a couple extra years with regular care and maintenance.</p></div>

Q: How often should gutters be professionally cleaned?

• <div><p>At least twice a year, or more if surrounded by trees.</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."
