How do I keep leaves out of my gutters?
There are two schools of thought when it comes to stopping, or rather minimizing, the amount of leaves and particles that enter your eavestroughs. Leaf Guard, or gutter caps, can be installed with your gutters to inhibit leaves from entering.The second method is to use a funnel and leaf catcher combination. The funnel that is attached where the down pipe attaches to the gutter, allows for a larger hole to be placed in the eavestrough. This concept sees the materials that are collected in the eavestrough washed down through the funnel and then get trapped in the leaf catcher. Smaller particles like pine needles and cedar pieces will enter the gutter if they are small enough to slip through the holes.
Do you provide gutters for homes with metal roofs?
Yes, our gutter systems work with metal roofs.
Can you match new gutters to my existing gutter system?
