FAQs
What is a high-capacity gutter system and why is it recommended for Kingston properties?
A high-capacity gutter system is designed with larger troughs, downspouts, and flow-optimizing hangers to move a greater volume of water away from your roof and foundation. Kingston experiences heavy rainfalls, snowmelt, and occasional freeze–thaw cycles that can overwhelm standard gutters. Upgrading to a high-capacity solution prevents overflow, ice dam formation, and water damage to siding, fascia, and basements.
How can I tell if my current gutters need to be replaced rather than repaired?
Look for persistent issues such as sagging sections, multiple leaks at seams, rust or pitting, peeling exterior paint near the gutters, and water pooling around the foundation. If more than 25 % of the system shows damage or if the gutters were installed over 20 years ago, replacement with a modern high-capacity system is usually more cost-effective than recurring repairs.
What gutter sizes and materials do you install for high-capacity systems?
We offer 5-inch and 6-inch K-style aluminum gutters (our most popular option) as well as 6-inch and 7-inch seamless steel and copper systems for maximum flow rates. All options are paired with oversized 3 × 4-inch or 4 × 5-inch downspouts. Materials are powder-coated or factory-finished to resist Kingston’s coastal moisture and winter salt exposure.
How long does a typical gutter replacement take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A standard single-family home in Kingston can usually be completed in one working day, while larger or multi-storey properties may take two. Our team removes old gutters, inspects fascia boards, installs new hangers every 24 inches, and performs a full water-flow test. We schedule work around your availability, keep access points clear, and perform a thorough cleanup so disruptions are minimal.
Do you offer leaf and ice protection options for high-capacity gutters?
Yes. We can integrate micro-mesh leaf guards that maintain water flow without clogging, and we install self-regulating heat cables in vulnerable roof valleys and gutters to prevent ice dams. Both options are designed specifically to fit our high-capacity profiles, adding an extra layer of protection against Kingston’s autumn debris and winter freezing.
What kind of warranty and maintenance support do you provide?
All high-capacity gutter replacements come with a 20-year materials warranty and a 5-year workmanship guarantee. We also offer an optional annual maintenance plan that includes inspection, minor adjustments, and debris removal each spring or fall. This ensures the system continues to handle Kingston’s heavy precipitation efficiently while preserving your warranty coverage.
