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>

Are new gutters expensive?

• <div><p>New gutters cost on average $1,900 for an average sized home, but can cost much more depending on your house size. Gutters are a basic necessity for homes in order to keep water from pooling around your house and damaging the exterior. It’s also a project that can last for many decades with minimal ongoing costs (especially if you’re able to clean gutters yourself). While an expensive upfront cost, the decades long lifespan and low maintenance costs make it a worthwhile investment.</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: What happens if you don't clean leaves out of gutters?

• <div><p>Failing to clean leaves out of gutters can lead to blockages, preventing proper water flow. This can cause gutters to overflow, leading to water pooling around your home&rsquo;s foundation and increasing the risk of basement flooding or structural damage. Stagnant water in clogged gutters can attract pests like mosquitoes and rodents or cause the gutters to sag under the weight of debris. Regular cleaning ensures proper drainage and prevents these costly and inconvenient issues. </p></div>

Q: Do gutter covers prevent ice dams?

• <div><p>While they reduce debris buildup, ice dams may still form without proper attic insulation and ventilation.</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.
