FAQs
Why are gutter guards especially important for homes in Ten Mile?
Ten Mile’s mix of heavy spring downpours, humid summers, and abundant hardwood trees means gutters regularly fill with rain-washed debris. When leaves, acorns, and pine needles pile up, water backs up under shingles, rots fascia boards, and erodes foundations. Quality gutter guards stop debris before it enters the trough, keeping water flowing away from your roof and slab and eliminating the constant ladder-cleaning many Ten Mile homeowners face.
How can I tell whether I need full gutter replacement or just new gutter guards?
Start with a visual check during a rainstorm. If water overflows despite clean channels, the gutters are likely undersized, poorly pitched, or rusted through—signs a replacement is best. If the gutters are structurally sound but clog every few weeks, adding guards is usually all you need. Our free inspection measures slope, rust, seam separation, and hanger spacing so we can recommend the most cost-effective option for your home.
What kinds of gutter guards do you install, and which one is right for my roof?
We carry aluminum micro-mesh, stainless-steel screen, and solid cover (helmet-style) guards. Micro-mesh blocks particles as small as shingle grit; stainless screen is ideal where pine needles dominate; solid covers shed large leaves and heavy rainfall. During our consultation we look at roof pitch, tree species on your lot, and budget to suggest the guard that balances performance, appearance, and price for your specific situation.
How long does it take to replace gutters or add guards on an average Ten Mile home?
A 150-to-200-linear-foot gutter replacement, including downspouts, usually finishes in one day. Installing guards only, on existing gutters that are in good shape, typically takes 3–5 hours. Larger or two-story homes may require a second day, but we’ll provide a firm timeline before work begins so you know exactly what to expect.
Will new gutters or guards affect my roof warranty or the look of my home?
No. We fasten gutters into the fascia board, not the roof deck, so shingle warranties remain intact. Our color-matched K-style and half-round gutters come in dozens of baked-on finishes that blend with existing trim. Low-profile guards sit flush with the gutter edge, so from the curb you’ll hardly notice them—except when you don’t see overflowing water or clumps of leaves.
What maintenance and warranty coverage should I expect after installation?
With guards in place, most homeowners simply spray the gutter edge with a garden hose once or twice a year to wash off pollen or fine grit. We include a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty on materials and a 5-year workmanship guarantee. If a section ever pulls loose or clogs, call us—local crews based right here in Ten Mile will service it at no charge within the warranty period.
