Why are seamless aluminum gutters a better choice?

Seamless gutters are custom-formed on-site in long continuous runs—often up to 50 feet—so there are fewer seams, fewer potential leak points, and a cleaner appearance. Compared to 10-foot sectional pieces from hardware stores, seamless aluminum offers improved durability, reduced maintenance, and enhanced curb appeal.

How do you fix leaking or overflowing gutters?

We diagnose the cause, then clean and reseal joints and miters, replace worn sections, and correct gutter pitch. For overflow, we often add or upsize downspouts, clear obstructions, and ensure proper slope so water drains efficiently away from the home.

Can you replace my old gutters with a better installation method?

Yes. We replace nail-fastened systems—which can loosen over time—with hidden hangers that securely support the gutter and allow for proper expansion, contraction, and long-term stability.

Do you offer gutter installation for new construction projects?

Yes. We provide seamless gutter and downspout installation for new residential and commercial builds, coordinating with contractors to ensure correct sizing, placement, slope, and code-compliant discharge.

Can you repair damage to the wood behind my gutters?

Yes. If fascia boards are rotted or damaged from prior leaks, our team can replace or repair the wood before installing new gutters to ensure a solid attachment and long-lasting performance.

Do you handle gutter guards or other gutter accessories?

Yes. We install gutter guards to reduce debris buildup, as well as accessories like kick-out flashing, splash blocks, and downspout extensions to direct water away from siding and foundations.

How to Effectively Keep Raccoons Off of Your Downspouts at Home

July 25, 2022

Raccoons are destructive creatures that can cause severe damage to your gutters and downspouts. If you are not able to effectively deter them, these small animals can eventually nest in your home.

Keep reading to learn some tips on how to keep raccoons off your downspouts, according to residential roofing experts.

Avoid Leaving Food Outside

Improperly putting food waste in the trash or leaving pet food outside the home will attract raccoons later. Make sure you don’t leave traces of food in your outdoor areas and keep the trash lid properly closed. If you live near trees and plants that yield edible fruit or produce, make sure small animals won’t be able to access them. You should also pick up any fallen food and trim branches that are hanging over your home roof.

Install Gutter Guards

Gutter guards at home will minimize the leaves and debris that are getting into your gutters and downspouts. They will also make it easier to clean and maintain these parts of your home. By keeping your downspouts clear of dirt and debris, raccoons won’t be attracted to these roof areas or your metal roofing.

Grease Your Downspouts

Apply automotive grease on your downspouts to prevent raccoons from climbing to the gutter. The grease will cause the small animals to slide down every time they attempt to climb up. Make sure to apply grease to all the sides of the downspout. And to keep yourself from accidentally touching the greased section while working on your home, choose a high point on the downspout that you can’t reach from the ground.
