Gutter Protection & Gutter Covers
On the topic of Gutter Covers and Gutter Protection, I could go into much more detail than you are likely interested in reading about. Generally speaking, there is an enormous selection of possible gutter protection devices available. For more information on all of these, please see the FAQ section named 'What do we think about all the other types of gutter covers'. hyperlink to the FAQ question with the same name
What we do recommend and install: At Advanced Pressure & Gutter Cleaning, we use our very unique experience of cleaning more than 20-40 homes a day, on a regular basis, to recommend and install only products that we know will work properly, based on our experience. We have inspected, repaired, and even removed almost every product available on the market. We have clearly learned the characteristics of each.
Generally speaking, we do not recommend or install any of the following: 'clip-on' style gutter screens, plastic or vinyl products of any kind, or any cover of inferior design which you will simply not be happy with 5 years down the road.
We do recomend and install the following:
- Two different under the shingle type screen covers (one powder coated steel, and the other aluminum), at a modest cost, which work very well and will NEVER fall off or flip open. These screen covers do require some cleaning (generally recommend once per year), primarily just to blow the debris of the roof (which will naturally accumulate). These covers will work very well to allow your gutters to continue to drain properly even between long periods between cleanings. These are great for most homes as it is generally advisable to blow off your roof a minimum of one time per year anyway (regardless of the type of gutter cover you may have) to prevent sub roof damage from the accumulation of debris in valleys. Most homes can be maintained very well by installing one of these covers, and hiring us to clean off your roof and gutters once or more times per year, between which the gutters will never clog, and will always drain properly.
- We also install Advanced Gutter Hood, a very high quality, 2nd Generation, retro fit solid gutter cover in which you really actually do not need to clean your gutters ever again. This product installs on top of your existing gutters, and is better in design and function than all of the competing "solid gutter cover" products in the same category. It is a full 'nose forward' design, with a patented installation bracket which solves all the common issues associated with other solid aluminum under the shingle gutter covers. With this product, it will not be necessary to clean your gutters again after installation. This product is more expensive and may not be ideal for every house. Please call us for a consultation if you are interested.
