FAQs
What makes your clog-resistant gutter guards ideal for homes in Graysville?
Our guards combine fine stainless-steel micro-mesh with a rigid aluminum frame that fits securely under the first row of shingles. The mesh openings are small enough to block Graysville’s common debris—oak leaves, pine needles, helicopter seeds, and shingle grit—while still allowing up to 40 gallons of water per minute to flow through. This design is tested to withstand the region’s heavy spring downpours and prevents ice dams from forming during the occasional winter freeze.
How do I know if my current gutters need to be replaced instead of just adding guards?
Before recommending guards, we perform a full inspection of your existing system. If we find rusted troughs, sagging sections, separated seams, or water stains behind the fascia, we’ll suggest replacement. Guards should only be installed on sound, properly pitched gutters; otherwise, debris will still collect in warped areas and water may overflow. During your free estimate, we’ll provide photos and a written report so you can make an informed decision.
What materials do you use for new gutters and how long do they last?
We primarily install seamless 0.032-gauge aluminum or 16-oz copper gutters. Seamless aluminum is cost-effective, rust-proof, and carries a 30-year material warranty. Copper is a premium option that can last 50+ years and develops an attractive patina over time. Both materials pair perfectly with our micro-mesh guards, ensuring the entire system remains clog-free and low-maintenance for decades.
How much does a gutter replacement with clog-resistant guards cost in Graysville?
Pricing depends on the linear footage, gutter material, roof height, and any fascia repairs. On average, Graysville homeowners invest between $18 and $26 per linear foot for seamless aluminum gutters with micro-mesh guards installed, including removal and disposal of the old system. Copper systems start around $38 per foot. We provide a precise, itemized quote after measuring your home, and financing plans are available.
Will the installation affect my roof warranty or shingles?
No. Our technicians slide the back lip of the guard beneath the bottom shingle row without breaking the shingle seal or driving fasteners into the roof deck. This method preserves your manufacturer’s roofing warranty. We are also fully licensed and insured in Alabama, and we follow all manufacturer installation guidelines for both asphalt and metal roofs.
What maintenance is required after the guards are installed?
Very little. We recommend visually inspecting the gutters twice a year—usually after spring pollen season and after fall leaf drop—to make sure no large branches are lodged on top. If you see surface debris, a quick sweep with a broom or a light spray from a garden hose will clear it. The interior of the gutter should stay clean, eliminating the need for dangerous ladder climbing and manual scooping.
