"They always do a great job of clearing out the gutters and cleaning up afterwards. They are careful not to damage roof or gutter. Removed ineffective gutter shields to help with gutter performance during heavy rainfall."
"Mr. Mills inspected the roof and gutters and while the gutters needed cleaning, they did not need extensive work. He was honest which I appreciated. My neighbor cleaned them out like he has in the past which Mr. Mills agreed was appropriate. He's very nice and arrived on time. If I needed the gutter replaced, I'd hire him."
"Sales process was painful and was the least enjoyable contracting experience I have ever had. Salesman used a bait-and-switch in the contract and ultimately suckered me out of extra cash to do the work we had originally agreed upon. Then didn't listen to my instructions and wrote the contract for the wrong siding. His boss promised to call and follow up within a week with possible options to remedy. Never called. Production guys were ok. Enjoyed having them here, even though they scratched up some of my personal possessions, they didn't clean up, they cut the gutter downspout the wrong length, and the quality of their finish work was average at best. But my real issue is with the sales staff. Never again."
"My wife and I bought a new construction home with standard open 4" gutters. Very quickly we noticed the gutters were pitched incorrectly and collecting shingle grit and debris. This was causing the gutters to overflow during heavy rain events. We had The Drying Co. remove the new construction gutters and install Gutter Shutter. We're very happy with the installation and can already tell a difference during rain events. Dustin and crew were very professional and cleaned up well after the installation. Very happy with how the Gutter Shutter looks on the house and excited that I don't have to clean them!"
"It is great and they did what was promised. The guys are very down to earth and the owner is even involved in projects. It is sometimes hard to reach/contact to schedule due to cell service, but they will get the project done. Looking to have some gutter work done with them also as soon as my funds are available."
"We needed our whole roof replaced and add gutters and ridge vents. The whole process was easy, the crew had everything installed quickly and professionally. Everyone we spoke with was friendly and made the process smooth and easy. I would highly recommend this company"
"After the installation we had a major rain and the gutter covers worked as promised. The only problem we had were in the corners were two roofs came together so we told AAPCO about it and they sent their installer out to install a "dam" in the corners. Looks like this should work in the next major rain storm."
Gutter Repair and Replacement questions, answered by experts
Most homes will sustain water damage without gutters. When a home doesn't have gutters, water that runs off the roof will splash down to the ground to create foundation damage, rotting trim, rotting fascia, and soil erosion. A broken or compromised gutter system can be just as damaging as having no gutters. That's why it's essential to talk to roofing pros about how to fix gutters pulling away from house as soon as you notice an issue.
DIY is possible for minor leaks or realignments. Professional services handle complex issues like sagging or joint repairs.
Yes, many homeowners find that seamless gutters are worth the investment. Although they have a higher upfront cost than standard gutters—an average of $2,700 compared to $2,000—their benefits often outweigh the price difference. Seamless gutters last longer, require less maintenance, and are less prone to clogs and leaks due to having fewer seams. In contrast, standard gutters typically have seams every 10 feet, which can leak and require new sealant every one to five years. Additionally, seamless gutters are considered more aesthetically pleasing, come in a variety of colors to match your home, and can improve your home's curb appeal and potential value.
Buried downspouts can freeze during cold weather as cold water runs through them. If you’ve discovered your downspouts are frozen, you can carefully pour hot water down the top of the downspout to defrost them. If that doesn’t work, you may need to dig your downspout back up. Avoid trying to break the ice from the exterior using a hammer as this can cause cracks and damage to your downspout.
To avoid freezing the future, consider adding a heating cable to the exterior, which can adjust heat based on the surrounding temperature.
The best way to seal gutters is with a combination of waterproof roofing cement and silicone gutter sealant. This powerful duo works to prevent water from escaping through holes and cracks while allowing for breathability. While you can use polyurethane sealants, silicone sealants tend to be more flexible when it comes to climate. Silicone is UV-resistant and bonds well to many surfaces. However, polyurethane sealant bonds better with wood.
