"I called to set up an appointment and he came the next day. Did an excellent job. Very nice friendly and professional. The cost was very reasonable. He also inspected our roof for us and took pictures so we could see any damage. We would definitely use him again."
"All went very well. Started on a Thursday, worked through the weekend and had 5000 square ft of roof complete by Saturday. Rained on Sunday and his Carpenter didn't work Sundays. His carpenter finished the facia on Monday and did crew did all gutters and down spouts on Tuesday. Have a few connections to make to underground drains, but waiting on me to get the drains installed...."
"I hired them to replace flooring in my house. They replaced my nasty old floor with beautiful new vinyl flooring, about 1000 square feet. They worked professionally, well mannered, and had great time management. Overall thumbs up, good customer service!!"
Yes, gutters can still get clogged even with gutter guards installed. While guards significantly reduce the amount of debris that enters your gutters, they are not 100% effective.
Small debris such as pine needles, seedlings, algae, small leaves, and pebbles can pass through the guard's screen or mesh and accumulate over time. Clogs can also form if the guards themselves are not cleaned and become overwhelmed with debris on top, preventing water from entering the gutter.
If this buildup is neglected, it can lead to clogs, water leaks, mold growth, and even plants sprouting from the gutters. The primary benefit of gutter guards is not the complete elimination of maintenance, but a dramatic reduction in how often you need to perform it, often from several times a year to just once a year or less.
If not properly maintained, an underground downspout may damage your home's foundation. A clogged downspout can back up, causing water to pool around the base of your home and seep into the foundation. Regular inspections and maintenance keep your downspout in good working order, preventing damage and protecting your home.
Water should not be dripping behind your gutters. Rain dripping between your gutters and the fascia might indicate that the gutters are misaligned with the fascia board or there are loose screws in the gutters, allowing water to pass through. Start by checking for these issues and make repairs ASAP.
Walking on the roof to clean gutters is unsafe and not recommended due to significant safety risks. It is especially dangerous on steep or slippery roofs, or if the roof is wet or covered in leaves, which increases the chance of a fall. In addition to personal injury, walking on the roof can damage shingles, potentially leading to water leaks. Instead of walking on the roof, use a sturdy ladder positioned on a stable surface to access the gutters. Be aware that using a ladder also carries risks, as it can be difficult to maintain balance while performing the work. You can also use ground-based cleaning tools. For safety reasons and to prevent damage to your roof, hiring a professional to clean your gutters is the best and safest option.
