Busy Season for gutter work is Springtime! Most homeowners believe Fall is gutter season because of the heavy leaf load, but unfortunately Springtime is the time homeowners can see first hand how their gutters and gutter guards performed over the very wet, frozen winter conditions here in Central Kentucky.
The single most important message to homeowners about gutters and gutter guards: READ THE REVIEWS FOR EACH PRODUCT. Any reports of failure or lack of warranty support is a big red flag. Our company is empathetic each time a homeowner contacts us to remove their recently installed gutter guards of leaf gutters. They tell us about the pressure sales technique and promised about warranties. However spring rains expose water damage and wet foundations. Many of the products offered can actually keep the leaves out of the gutter trough BUT they fail at collecting and moving rainwater off the roof and away from foundations. Instead rain water finds its way into structural wood and windows, which is not good.
Why You Should Research Gutter Brands Before Buying Gutter Guards, Gutter Systems or Gutter Accessories
Before investing in Ever Clean Gutters—or any gutter system—it’s worth doing a little homework. Gutters are a long-term purchase, and not all brands perform the same. Here’s why researching first pays off:
- Beware of Gutter Hoods: Improperly installed gutter “hoods” may result in wood rot and or affect the roof shingle manufacturer warranty. Ever Clean Gutter System mounts to the fascia board up and under the roof’s drip edge, the right way!
- Beware of Gutter Mesh Screens or Gutter Toppers: Be cautious of any system whose basic function is limited to top filtration, such as gutter hoods that rely on holes or slots; they will soon fail when debris quickly fills all the holes and prevents any water from entering the gutter. These systems are NOT maintenance free.
- Beware of One-Piece Gutters: Guard yourself from potential wood rot and gutter overflow associated with a one-piece design is installed with pitch towards the downspout. Take the time to research the problems associated with them including clogging and overflow issues.
- Beware of Installation & Gutter Mounting: Did you realize clog free systems must mount to your fascia board behind the roof drip edge? They should never require any alterations to the existing roof like mounting under the shingles or installing any additional flashing/drip edge as either may void your roof’s manufacturer and installation warranties.
