Q: What are some cons of gutter guards?

• <div><p>While gutter guards offer significant advantages, they also have some drawbacks&mdash;namely, they don't completely eliminate the need for cleaning, and certain objects (like mold or large debris) can still damage your roof. If they're installed improperly, they can void the roof warranty, and heavy guards could even damage your roof fascia or roof material itself. This is why it's vitally important to have a pro install your gutter guards.</p></div>

Q: Are heated roof cables better than heated gutters?

• <div><p>While both work, heated gutters are a more popular choice as they don&rsquo;t affect the aesthetic of the home. Roof cables are powerful, but some consider them a bit ugly. That being said, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-heated-gutters-cost.htm">heated gutters cost</a> less than heated cables, so the decision really comes down to budget and desired appearance. </p></div>

Q: How do I thaw frozen gutters?

• <div><p>If you do end up with frozen gutters, it's important to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-can-i-thaw-frozen-gutter-or-downspout.htm">thaw them correctly</a>. Thawing your gutters slowly is far safer than trying to break apart the ice. Once you get through the ice, bring in a gutter professional to check out the effectiveness of your heated system.</p></div>

Q: Should I remove gutter guards in winter?

• <div><p>This question requires personal discernment. Most homeowners leave gutter guards in place throughout the year. However, metal gutter guards can potentially freeze at low temperatures. In areas with heavy snowfall and ice formation, ice dams and snow can build up on metal gutters. Inexpensive <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/foam-gutter-guards-reduce-regular-cleanings.htm">foam gutter guards</a> should also be removed in places that experience freezing winter temperatures due to the fact that frozen guards can become breeding spots for moss and weeds while unthawing in the spring. If you have questions about leaving gutter guards on all year long, ask a local gutter guard pro to help you analyze your options.</p></div>

Q: How often should gutters be inspected once installed?

• <div><p>At least once a year&mdash;or more in areas with heavy foliage or frequent storms.</p></div>

"Michael Lyday was the technician and was very professional and courteous. He set a trap and returned the next morning to find a female raccoon. He also found she’d been nursing and captured two kits in the crawl space. He told me to tell him if I heard anymore sounds which I did when he returned the following day. He captured two more kits and told me to call him again if I heard any more sounds. There weren’t any more and I was impressed that he still called to follow up. I was completely satisfied with his humane methods of removing the animals from my property."

"We hired AAA to clean up after a fire we had. I think others need to be aware of their practices. They give the key code to everyone on the job. Those people in turn give the code to their friends. People were coming in and out of our house freely. While we where in a hotel while they "cleaned". Workers and sometimes their friends were coming in and out of our house at all hours. They also would hide "merchandise" around the back of the house and by the dumpster and come in late at night and pick up the stuff. Sometimes they "work" unsupervised. I would come home in the middle of the day and people would be in the master bedroom just looking at stuff. Or while most people would leave for lunch, they would stay behind and just go through everything. I came home one day for lunch and there were 2 guys there while everyone else was out to lunch. I would ask what happened to different things and they would look at each other and shrug there shoulders suggesting "I don't know". While we thought things were going out to be cleaned they where not. They were taken. We only found out about it after going through the boxes once they were returned. AAA knew about the initial theft and yet told no one. Deciding instead to keep it to themselves so they would get paid. Had we known of the first initial incident, we would have moved back in right away to save our stuff. Instead the initial theft of a stereo led to many more items being taken. Because the employee was mad because he had been caught taking a stereo. He came back that night and wiped out half of our basement. Then came back on a Saturday and took everything else. We have lost many precious family heirlooms that will never be recovered. Our valuables are now all over the city of Toledo. Lost forever. We hired a company to clean after the "cleaning" was complete and they would show me buckets of black water. Showing they really didn't do a good job cleaning. They also hire employees from a third party, like Manpower. You could have convicted felons working in your house with an all access pass to everything you own. Get the name of everyone who is working on your home. A quick google search of there name will show that they have a criminal record or not. Have an extra lock on your door that cannot be opened with the key that they have access to. When they are finished, CHANGE YOUR LOCKS! If at all possible, stay in your residence while the work is being done. Don't fall victim to this scam like we did. Watch everyone all the time, even if they seem nice BEWARE!"
