FAQs
Why are leaf-blocking gutter guards especially important for homes in Luttrell?
Luttrell’s wooded surroundings and four-season climate mean gutters quickly fill with oak, maple and pine debris. When leaves, needles and twigs accumulate, water can back up under shingles, rot fascia boards and erode foundations. A properly fitted leaf-blocking guard system keeps debris out while letting rainwater flow freely, reducing the risk of roof leaks, ice dams and costly structural damage.
How can I tell if my existing gutters need replacement rather than just cleaning or a minor repair?
Look for persistent sagging sections, seams that drip even after resealing, rust or pitting through the metal, peeling paint on nearby siding, or water marks behind the gutter line. If you see nails or screws pulling loose or notice landscaping erosion directly below, the gutters have likely lost their structural integrity. In these cases, a full replacement combined with modern guards provides a longer-term, worry-free solution.
What types of gutter guard materials and profiles do you install?
We offer aluminum micro-mesh, surgical-grade stainless steel mesh and solid-surface reverse-curve systems. Guards come in k-style, half-round and fascia-mounted profiles to match 5-inch or 6-inch seamless aluminum or copper gutters. All materials are rust-resistant and powder-coated to blend with common roof and trim colors used in the Luttrell area.
Will adding gutter guards void my existing roof warranty?
No. Our installation method slides under, not through, the first course of shingles and follows manufacturer guidelines from GAF, Owens Corning and CertainTeed. We do not nail or screw into the roof deck, so your shingle warranty remains fully intact. We also provide our own workmanship warranty on the guard and gutter system.
How long does a complete gutter replacement with guards take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Most single-family homes in Luttrell can be completed in one day—two days for larger or multi-story properties. We remove old gutters, repair minor fascia damage, install new seamless gutters and attach the guards. Our crews arrive after 8 a.m., use ground-level debris catchers, and clean the site before leaving, so you experience minimal noise and no mess left behind.
What maintenance is required after the new guards are installed?
While the mesh blocks most debris, we recommend a quick visual inspection each spring and fall. Spray down the guards with a garden hose if pollen or fine shingle grit collects on top. No ladder scooping or seasonal professional clean-outs should be necessary, and your new gutters carry a 20-year no-clog guarantee backed by an annual inspection option for added peace of mind.
