"LeafFilter doesn't clean gutters, they sell and install their LeafFilter Gutter products and only clean the gutters if you buy their product. I can't even begin to afford their product so I wasn't able to get my gutter cleaned by them."

"Gutter Flow team called almost as soon as the job was posted and we made a next day appointment. They showed up the next morning and we discussed the repair/40 foot replace project and his bid was strait forward and much lower that what I had been quoted previously. Due to weather and personal scheduling conflicts we postponed the job to the next day. On arrival we signed the contract and the owner and his partner went strait to work resetting original gutter spikes, reinforcing all of the gutters, and installed 40 feet of steel gutter that had fallen off of the house last winter. They were very professional, completed the job in under 3 hours and cleaned up everything. I was impressed with the job they did and very happy that the new gutters blended well with the old gutters."

"They did an excellent job from price quote to clean-up. They were very easy to communicate with throughout the job.They worked with me on using no-VOC paint, choosing a paint brand, colors, suggestions for different rooms, etc. They are hard working and very timely in starting the job each morning. The clean-up after painting was meticulous and included vacuuming and damp mopping of all floors. They respected my home and belongings and that in itself impressed me greatly. It is such a pleasure to work with excellent craftsmen like these. They were a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. "
"We had our wood stove area in our home done. When we requested a quote, we received a call promptly. I appreciated the friendly communication from start to finish and the price was very reasonable. The whole crew who came out had a great work ethic and the quality of work was "beyond" what my husband and I expected, My husband and I are so glad we chose Milestone Masonry and would definitely hire them again in the future! Love the work they did and just a great job from start to finish, I also really appreciated how respectful they are cleaning up and wiping everything down. Thank You!!"
Icicles don't necessarily mean your gutters are clogged or bad, but they can indicate an underlying issue. While clogged gutters can cause icicles to form, the problem could also be an ice dam on your roof from poor insulation. In that case, melting snow can refreeze in the gutter even without a clog. Regardless of the cause, the weight of the ice can damage your gutters or even rip them completely off the house. If you are unsure of the underlying problem, it's best to call a roofing company to assess the issue and implement a permanent solution.
If you want to avoid burying your downspouts, several alternatives can help direct water away from your home's foundation. One option is to connect a rain barrel to your downspout. During a storm, the barrel collects water that you can later use for irrigating your lawn or garden. Another common solution is to install an above-ground downspout extension. This can be done in a couple of ways:
Splash Guards: Placing a splash guard, available at most hardware stores, under your downspout can act as a simple funnel to direct water away from the house.
Downspout Extensions: You can add an extension to the end of the downspout's elbow to carry water further into your yard. Some extensions are flexible, allowing you to maneuver them around landscaping.
These above-ground solutions are particularly useful if your home has a slab foundation that you cannot dig up. However, they have limitations. An extension may not move water as far from your home as an underground system. More importantly, if your yard slopes back toward your house, these methods will be ineffective, and burying your downspouts remains the best option to prevent potential flooding and water damage.
Clean regularly to prevent clogs, check for cracks, and ensure downspouts direct water away from the foundation.

Recommendations for repairs
The cost to install a downspout extension or reroute a downspout generally falls between $30 and $200. The final price depends on factors like whether you DIY the project or hire a gutter professional, the complexity of your gutter system, and the length of the new extension. A simple, above-ground DIY installation can cost as little as $30 for materials. In contrast, a more complex project involving professional installation and digging trenches for underground piping could cost over $1,000. This is still a significant saving compared to replacing your entire gutter system, which costs around $1,900 on average.
