WHY DO I NEED A LEAF GUARD?

Leaf protection for your gutters is important in maintaining a gutter system that continues to work properly by preventing clogged gutters. Gutter guard installation also significantly decreases the maintenance required on your gutter system and, with the right guard, will eliminate interior gutter cleaning completely.

Maintaining a clean gutter without a guard requires cleaning both your gutters and downspouts at least twice a year. This will allow your entire gutter system to handle its highest capacity of rainfall. This also reduces the risk of overflow, rotted fascia, mildew, deterioration of foundation, landscape erosion and other damage to your property. However, cleaning your gutters has to be timed right and done more frequently in certain areas.

The alternative option to cleaning gutters at least two times a year, is installing gutter guards. Clients are often concerned by the initial cost of installing gutter guards. Unless you clean the gutters yourself, the minimum maintenance costs can often be much higher within just two-three years. The value of eliminating interior gutter cleanings that comes with having covered gutters is often worth any additional up-front costs to our clients and the long-term protection of their home.

On top of having leafless gutters, gutter guards can provide an added strength during the winter. The weight of snow, ice, branches, and late falling leaves can loosen your gutter system from your home, or tear it down completely. This added strength that guards provide, can reduce the risk of needing an entirely new gutter system after a rough winter.

WHAT ARE SEAMLESS GUTTERS
Seamless gutters are rain gutters that are cut from a preformed roll of composite metal. A rain gutter is a narrow trough that is attached to the outer edge of the roof to collect water and redirect it away from the building. Rain gutters are also called eaves troughs or eaves channel guttering.

Rain gutters are an important part of every roofing system. Redirecting the water off the roof reduces the erosion of soil at the base of the building, which weakens the foundation over time. Rainwater can be redirected into a water collection system, or diverted to specific locations with the use of downspouts.

Seamless gutters are a marketing term used to describe a specific method of rain gutter installation. These gutters have less seams and possible leakage points than other rain gutters, as they are formed from one continuous roll. Traditional gutters use aluminum pieces, which are attached on site and have visible seams.

To install seamless gutters, you must hire a seamless gutter contractor who offers this product. It is very common in North America and available from a wide range of gutter companies. It is not possible to purchase or install seamless gutters yourself.

If you are thinking about installing seamless gutters, make a list of your requirements. Determine the color of the gutters and the total length required. The gutters can be the same color as the roof or can coordinate with the other trim on the building.

When selecting a seamless gutter contractor, ask for a written quotation. The quotation should provide detailed pricing for the materials and installation labor. Obtain quotes from at least three different suppliers to ensure you get the best price.

Ask for and check at least three references from prior customers before selecting a seamlessgutter contractor. Ask the references if the work was completed on time, were garbage disposal services included and their satisfaction with the quality of work. Take the time to visit the references and inspect the quality of the installation before selecting a contractor.

When the seamless gutter contractor arrives, they will have a machine inside a truck which contains a roll of metal in the selected color. The seamless gutter is formed on site from this roll. The gutter is then installed onto your roof.

At each corner, the seamless gutter is cut just enough to allow the material to create a perpendicular corner. These cuts are then sealed during the installation process. The seal can be created on the inside of the gutter to provide a visually appealing appearance.

The installation staff work their way around the perimeter of the roof, attaching the seamlessgutter as they go. Downspouts are usually installed at the end of the process. The downspouts are used to allow the water collected in the rain gutter to run off the roof to another location.
