Gutter Protection Systems Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I have to buy new gutters? NO!!!
Gutter cover panels are individually prepared and custom-fitted over your full sized gutters.
Our gutter cover protections system is custom-fitted to your home by trained installers, who clean, seal, examine and adjust the alignment of your present gutter system. Gutter Covers are expertly installed with support brackets. Panels are then securely installed under or over shingles, depending on a professional dealer inspection of your home. In most cases, installation can be completed in just one day.
Can I get a partial Installation Now and the Rest Later? YES!!
Many homeowners will have us cover the upstairs gutters initially and the lower ones later. Obviously, the upstairs gutters are more dangerous to clean but need attention.
Can you provide New Gutters if Needed? YES.
If your gutters are not serviceable we can provide you with either five or six inch seamless gutters.
How much does a professionally installed Gutter Cover system cost?
The installation cost is determined by many factors. All installations include an inspection and tune-up of your existing gutters – cleaning, sealing, re-pitching and adding hangers as needed. Other factors affecting cost might include: the need of fascia repair and replacement; and the linear feet of gutters and number of corners on your home. The inspection of your home by a professional dealer is necessary to provide a fair installation estimate. Call us today to schedule your free inspection and estimate! That’s 713-956-5711!
What are our Gutter Covers?
A gutter protection system installs over your existing full-size gutters, protecting your home from the destructive and damaging effects of rainwater. Our gutter covers direct rainwater into the gutter through a continuous horizontal opening. And because there are no vertical openings, leaves and debris fall over the edge and harmlessly to the ground. Gutter covers can handle 8 to 12 inches of rain per hour and have helped reduce the maintenance on more homes than other gutter protection systems.
Why do I need Gutter Covers?
You avoid the muck and hassle of cleaning gutters yourself. You avoid the dangers of climbing a shaky ladder. You avoid the liability of having someone else clean your gutters. You help prevent clogged and overflowing gutters that can lead to rot and damage of landscaping, lawn, shrubbery, walls, fascia boards and soffit, invisible walls, foundation, basement, crawl spaces and existing gutter system. Stop worrying about your gutters and start enjoying the peace of mind that a Gutter Cover system provides. With Gutter covers, you'll NEVER have to worry about CLOGGED Gutters again!
How do Gutter Covers work?
Gutters become clogged when leaves and debris fall onto your roof and accumulate in the gutters. When it rains, debris in your gutters causes your downspouts to clog and your gutters to overflow. Also your gutters become an ideal breeding ground for insects, spiders and rodents. They also become a feeding ground for snakes, birds and squirrels. Clogging may cause rot and damage to your home, lawn, foundation and landscaping.
Gutter Covers are designed to prevent leaves and debris from entering your gutter system. Your Gutter Cover system channels rainwater around the panel and through a precise horizontal slit. In turn, the principles of gravity and liquid adhesion combine to allow rainwater to flow into your gutters and leaves and debris to fall harmlessly to the ground below.
Don't all gutter protections systems offer similar products and features? Definitely NOT!
Brackets: Every home is unique, and we offer a gutter cover system with installation brackets, each engineered with a custom installation and special purpose in mind. Our brackets will strengthen and support your gutters and prevent entry to birds and animals. They will withstand the heaviest rainfall ever recorded: and hook invisibly into your gutter with NO screws into the gutter. Gutter covers are installed by professional installers who are also trained in fascia-mounted systems that do not touch the roof at all; ideal for expensive slate, shake and metal roofing.
Panels: Our Gutter Covers’ horizontal-rib design is precisely engineered to provide maximum strength, maximum performance with minimum weight and stress onto the gutters of your home, unlike similar non-textured, non ribbed products. Our Gutter Cover Panels are coated to not only resist scratching, cracking and peeling, but to also neutralize the harmful effects of UV light and acid rain without perceptible fade years to come!
How will a Gutter Protection System affect the look of my home?
Gutter Covers are designed to blend into the natural architectural style of your home. A variety of colors are available to match your roof shingle so that an installed system becomes an almost invisible year-round protection from the damage caused by overflowing gutters. NO more small trees growing in your gutters.
How do Gutter Covers compare to screens and other products on the market?
Most screens accumulate debris and must be removed to clean gutters. Check with the Better Business Bureau for their experience with these types of installations.
Will a Gutter Protection System affect my roof warranty?
No. Gutter covers are expertly and professionally installed using the industry's highest quality materials and also provides our installers with a choice of installation methods, some that do not touch the roof at all! Finally, our installation procedures and methods have been evaluated and approved by major roofing manufacturers.
What if my roof is not a conventional shingle?
Our gutter covers can be customized to fit most homes. Our in home technician will advise you on the best installation procedure for your home.
My roof is very steep. Just how much rain can a Gutter Cover Protection System handle?
The angle of a roof is called pitch. There are a variety of engineered installation techniques to work on any pitch roof, from almost flat to almost vertical. Rest assured that rainwater will flow into your protected gutters, regardless of the pitch. Our gutter cover protection system can handle approximately 8 to 12 inches of rain per hour.
How thick are Gutter Covers?
Our Gutter Covers are made from a 0.027 gauge aluminum.
