Q: Should I tip the gutter cleaners?

• <div><p>While there is no definitive rule on this practice, you are not expected to tip your gutter cleaners. However, ask their policy and feel free to do so to show appreciation for a job well done.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time to replace gutters?

• <div><p>The best time to replace gutters is before they experience enough damage or leaking to cause water problems to the home they protect. Seasonally, springtime is the most popular time to replace gutters after a harsh winter causes damage. However, gutter replacement deals are more common later in the year and into autumn when demand for the project is lower. </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>

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>

It went well, but circumstances beyond our control kept us from competing the entire job of power washing the siding. The pressure valve coming into the home was faulty and there was not enough pressure to effectively clean the siding, thus prompting the cancellation of the balance of the...

Quite well. The only issue is that the gutters still need to be completed (9/18). The supply company shipped the wrong gutter caps and I still have white end caps on my brown gutters :(

Seth was very responsive and courteous. The only complaint I have is I asked Seth to reattach the downspout that had fallen off of the house on one end and to clean the black stain on the gutter on the back of the house. In all fairness, Seth told me that he did not have the appropriate rivet...

The gutter repair was fine. The cleaning is a different story. The men were sloppy - throwing debris everywhere and not as thorough as it should be for $250. I did not complain at the time because the job was done and at least my husband didn't have to climb on the roof. However, now one...
