"I needed simple box gutter repair, and Blockbuster really came through. Blockbuster did the work other roofing companies could not do. They went above and beyond. I will definitely have them back in the spring to do the roof. Happy to have found my new roofing company."
"I had a problem with my roof gutter overflowing in heavy rain. The gutter was recently installed by someone else and that roofer was non responsive. I put out a call for bids and the owner of Royal Fox Roofing contacted me quickly (same morning as I asked them for a bid). He quoted me a great price to come and repair the roof/gutter after we discussed the issue. A member of his team arrived around noon, diagnosed the problem and made a repair to the improperly installed roof shingles and gutter where the overflow was occurring. Same day service is rare and nice to have, especially for a roof problem. Many thanks to Royal Fox!"
"I think Gutter Helmet has the best product out there. It matches the color of the roof, so it blends in and doesn't stick out. It looks great and it really works! I am so excited that I never have to clean my gutters again! Lastly, they called me while was away, cause they were in the neighborhood and able to install it sooner than originally planned. I was a little hesitant, since I was not home to make sure they did everything I asked and also because I wasn't able to move planters and things on the patio that would have been in there way. I could not believe how careful and clean they were. I could not tell that they were there. They moved things and out everything back exactly how it was before. My only regret is that I didn't have Gutter Helmet install their product sooner!"
"Jim and his crew did a great job putting a top coat of asphalt on the driveway, spearing the cost of having it replaced altogether. Then they came back a few months later to do the sealing work. Jim was easy to work with, promptly responding to all questions and the overall cost was very reasonable. I would definitely use his services again."
"Spellman Home Services arrived on time and worked four straight hours cleaning our rain gutters and power washing the entire house. They were thorough not only power washing the house but the porch ceiling and lawn chairs that were on the porch. He worked methodically and focused, and cleaned up after himself, including all the materials clogging the rain gutters. A. first rate job.,"
"Very professional, showed up next day to repair. No questions around safety or integrity and provided drone footage before and after repair. Made sure to meet requirements and not go overboard with forcing additional, unnecessary repairs. Did a great job of providing life estimates of each level of repair. Would recommend to anybody!"
Gutter Repair and Replacement questions, answered by experts
Yes, caulking or sealing your vinyl gutters is a good way to help prevent gutter leaks. When you’re installing gutters, it’s important to overlap the sections to help avoid issues like leaks or drips, but they can still happen. In this case, adding caulk can help. Make sure to use a caulk designed for multiple surfaces, like a silicone-based caulk. You can also purchase a gutter sealant as well, which is specifically designed for this purpose.
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.
Yes, professionals can repair or replace sections with seamless copper for better durability.
The most common problem with gutters is clogging from debris like leaves, blossoms, and seeds from surrounding trees. This debris can block downspouts, leading to improper drainage and water overflow.
Other common issues include:
Leaks and holes, which can often be repaired with gutter sealant or caulk.
Rust, sagging, or detachment from the roofline.
Damage from strong storms.
Improperly pitched gutters that don't drain correctly.
Regular cleaning in the spring and fall is the best way to prevent most of these problems. You may need to clean them more often during periods of heavy leaf fall.
