"Hector is as honest as honest can be. He is straight up in his recommendation, friendly, punctual, and thorough. He knows the products, he cleans up well after the job, and he understands that his job well done, for a reasonable price, will generate recommendations. We hired Hector to clean our gutters and replace the old & failing gutter covers that were on the house when we recently bought it. I can definitely recommend him for any gutter-related jobs."
"This company replaced my old gutters with much higher quality ones in a half a day. They did outstanding job. Highly recommended for any work related to gutters. The crew arrived on on time, removed old gutters, taking care not to damage anything and expertly installed new seamless gutters."
"The repairs, the clean-up, and the pleasant experience exceeded my expectations. A large oak tree fell on our roof, breaking through roof rafters and ceiling joists with branches in the bedroom. It is an older house with loose fill insulation in the attic. As soon as the tree was removed, Steve's crew covered the gaping hole with a tarp and did the interior carpentry to replace the rafters and joists. They also cleaned up in the bedroom everyday so that I did not have to call a clean-up company The entire roof and chimney flashing was replaced. The estimate that was provided for the repair was not questioned by the insurance company, It was a pleasure to deal with Steve. He is pleasant, and always responsive to phone calls and emails. My first experience with Steve was at my daughter's newly purchased house to waterproof a stone chimney. Her "house inspector" said that the two color stone was because they came from different parts of the quarry. Steve correctly diagnosed that a new cap was needed and that water was seeping in from the top. Problem solved- the stone dried up in a couple of weeks and is now the same color on the whole chimney. I recommend Angus Theriault without reservation."
"I hired Nelsonâ s Roofing to replace and pitch my gutters. They arrived on time and did a great job. The company sent Carlos and an assistant. He tightened up the gutters with brackets, made sure the gutters were clean and inspected the roof for me. They cleaned before they left. Both workers were pleasant and very attentive to the repairs. I would definitely hire them again. Also, they did the job for a reasonable price. Thank you for your outstanding service! Lou from the Bronx"

"Responded quickly to my inquiry, and was able to schedule gutter cleaning same day. They did a great job, texted pictures of the work - before and after. While they were cleaning gutters, they found sealant holes around our chimney flashing and gave an estimate to repair which we accepted. Overall, we are very happy with the service. Easy to communicate with as well."
To clean the tops of gutter guards, use a soft-bristle brush or a leaf blower to remove debris like leaves, twigs, or dirt. For stubborn grime, spray the guards with a garden hose, directing water downward to avoid forcing debris into the gutter. If the guards are removable, take them off and rinse thoroughly before reattaching. Regular cleaning, especially during fall or after storms, will help maintain their effectiveness.
While both underground and above-ground downspout extensions are a step up from no downspout extensions, underground downspouts are better for those looking for a more discreet option. Underground downspouts are hidden away—out of sight, out of mind. You won't be bumping into the extended sections with your lawn mower, nor will you see the downspouts sticking out like a sore thumb.
Not enough downspouts to effectively remove water from your gutters
Too small of a gutter width—the average gutter size is four to six inches
Clogged gutters
Incorrect slope
