Q:Is there a warranty?
Yes! We offer a lifetime warranty on workmanship and 50-year warranty on materials. We stand behind our work 100%.
Maintenance
Q:How often should gutters be cleaned?
We recommend cleaning twice per year—spring and fall. Homes with many trees may need more frequent cleaning. Gutter guards reduce cleaning to once every 3-5 years.
Q:Can I clean gutters myself?
While possible, gutter cleaning can be dangerous. Falls from ladders are a leading cause of home injuries. Professional cleaning is safer and more thorough.
Q:Do gutter guards really work?
Yes! Quality micro-mesh guards block 99% of debris while allowing water flow. They reduce maintenance by 90% and pay for themselves in saved cleaning costs.
Problems & Repairs
Q:When should I replace vs. repair gutters?
Replace if you have extensive rust, multiple leaks, sagging sections, or gutters over 20 years old. Repair for isolated issues like a single leak or damaged section.
Q:Why are my gutters overflowing?
Common causes: debris clogs, improper pitch, undersized gutters, or damaged downspouts. We can diagnose and fix the issue quickly.
Q:Can you match my existing gutters?
Usually yes! We can match most colors and styles. If your gutters are discontinued, we'll find the closest match or recommend a full replacement for uniform appearance.
Gutter Guards
Q:What type of gutter guards are best?
Micro-mesh guards are best for Northern California. They block all debris (even pine needles) while allowing maximum water flow. We use professional-grade micro-mesh systems.
Q:Can guards be added to existing gutters?
Yes! Guards can be retrofitted to most existing gutter systems. We'll inspect your gutters first to ensure they're in good condition.
Q:Will guards void my roof warranty?
No. Quality guards don't require any roof penetrations and won't affect your roof warranty. We install them safely without damaging shingles.
