Q: What are alternatives to gutter guards?

• <div><p>If you don't want to install gutter guards, the most inexpensive alternative is to clean your gutters as soon as they start to fill up. You can use a leaf blower attachment to make this process easier. You can also install gutter screens, which are typically made of wire mesh, nylon, or foam. These usually cost much less than a full gutter guard installation and can reduce regular gutter cleanings. </p></div>

• <div><p>With routine maintenance, gutters don&rsquo;t usually need to be replaced for 20 years, but there are warning signs that they might need early replacement.

Q: Should gutter downspouts touch the ground?

• <div><p>Unless you've chosen to install underground downspouts, your gutter downspouts shouldn't touch the ground. If they come into contact with the soil or pavement next to your home, rainwater can back up into them during a storm, preventing them from doing their job effectively. Instead, aim to have your downspouts end about 12 inches from the ground. </p></div>

Q: How do I get my gutters looking new again?

• <div><p>The trick to getting gleaming gutters can vary based on the material of your gutters. Aluminum gutters can often be restored to pristine condition by using a cloth to scrub them with a solution consisting of 1 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water. Vinyl gutters can be whitened using dish soap and water. For deeply stained vinyl gutters, adding bleach with water and dish soap may help to remove black streaks. Many retailers sell premixed gutter sprays. Applying cleaning solutions to dry gutters before rinsing can help cleaners attach to dirt and grime for easier removal.</p></div>

Q: What are some effective tips for extending the lifespan of my gutters?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning, checking for leaks, and ensuring that downspouts direct water away from the foundation help prolong gutter life.</p></div>

We had extensive water damage to the front porch and Rob and his crew replaced and rewrapped the entire support beams and posts. They saved my roof from collapsing. We are very happy with the final results. We will definitely hire HHC construction again for any future projects.

Andrew diagnosed a board failure, and also determined that our furnace was unsafe to operate - not a surprise given the facts that it's 25 years old, and is installed in a damp crawlspace. We made arrangements with CJS to replace our furnace and our failed AC.
