Q: Can gutters get clogged with gutter guards?

• <div><p>Yes, it's possible for gutters to become clogged even after you've installed gutter guards. While gutter guards will drastically reduce the amount of debris that can enter your gutters, small pine needles, seedlings, and algae can still get through. Clogs can also happen if you're not maintaining gutter guards properly. Gutter guards can fail if they are overwhelmed with debris and water. While adding a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/install-rain-chain.htm">rain chain gutter</a> or other features can help to move water along, nothing can undo a poor gutter guard design that hasn't been installed by qualified experts.</p></div>

Q: What are common gutter issues?

• <div><p>Common problems include rust, leaks, and clogged downspouts. Regular cleaning prevents most issues.</p></div>

Q: Do you need gutters to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>In the Christmas days of yore, people braved winter weather to staple or tack their Christmas lights onto their rooftops or nearby surfaces like the fascia boards. Problems quickly emerged with that approach. Damage to the roof, even small marks from staples, provides entryways for moisture and similar issues that can hasten roof rot, wear, and associated leaks. Plus, some homes had tough fiber cement boards or other materials where staples and screws didn&rsquo;t work.</p></div>

Q: What other gutter materials are available?

• <div><p>You have several other options when choosing gutters beyond faux copper made from vinyl, aluminum, or galvanized steel. You can also install real copper gutters, zinc gutters, wooden gutters, or vinyl, aluminum, or steel gutters that don't mimic the appearance of faux copper. Some homeowners prefer to forgo gutters entirely and instead opt for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/gutter-alternatives.htm">gutter alternatives</a> like rain chains, box gutters, rain dispersal systems, or French drains. </p></div>

Very friendly and knowledgeable! I had Brendon come out to the house and had him fix my gutters. I had to go into town while he worked. He got me the job done quickly and efficiently and I could trust him while I wasn’t there. 10/10 will be hiring again!

Mike did a great job installing the gutters and cleanup, but he doesn't return calls very quickly, nor did he let me know what day he was coming out. It took 3 voicemails to him and one week for him to call me back regarding the estimate. Overall, his work is very nice.
