6″

Downspout Size
Gutter downspouts are vital parts of the gutter system. Things to consider when selecting downspout size are: area to be drained, gutter system design, roof shape, pitch and design, gutter style, size and outlet capacity.
2″ x 3″

- Affordable
- Used with 5″ gutters only
3″ x 4″

If your gutters are more of a problem than a solution, it’s time to get them cleaned.
Routine maintenance (1-4 times per year) is highly recommended to optimize the guttering system’s performance and extend its durability. The gutters perform their function best when clear of blocking debris. Leaves and other debris can block gutters or put too much weight on them. Even if there are no trees close to your property, debris can find its way into your gutters. If the problem is left unattended, the gutters and your house can be damaged.Maintenance costs less than repairs!
The lack of maintenance lead to water leaks or overflow that can result in the following:- Landscape Erosion
- Wood Rot
- Gutter and/or Fascia Pulling Away
- Paint Peeling
- Humidity = Toxic Mold & Mildew = Health Problems
- Flooding
- Foundation Damage
- Pests
Did You Know…
Gutter Cleaning Can Be DANGEROUS!!! Statistics show that over 700,000 accidents occur each year from falls while cleaning gutters. It is time to put away that ladder and let the professionals do the work for you. We look at your property virtually and provide you with an estimate the same day!
Do you find yourself needing gutter cleaning too often?
We highly recommend you get a gutter protection system installed on either your existing or new gutters. We offer multiple options to fit everyone’s budget.
The gutter guards that we recommend help you protect your property and family by:
– Keeping pests out
– Preventing clogs due to leaves, roof grit, and other debris
– Reducing the cleaning frequency and cost
Our Recommendations:
Some micro-mesh guards come with a slotted frame underneath, but not the LeafBlaster Pro that we use. In our experience, a few brands tend to clog with pollen, like it’s the case with Gutterglove. We have been using LeafBlaster Pro brand for hundreds of clients over the years without any report of such problems.
Advantages:
– Only design that protects against pine needles and roof grit
– Stainless steel offers better corrosion resistance than aluminum
– Durable
– Secured with screws to the front lip of the gutter
– Almost invisible from the ground
– Most dry debris blows off with a slight breeze
– Compatible with copper gutters
Disadvantages:
– Expensive
– Does not properly collect water from roof valleys. When installing these at a property, we often use Mesh gutter guards for the valleys
Aluminum screens with perforated holes. We usually install the “wavy” type but there are flat ones as well. Some brands are GutterRx, Shur Flo, Senox Eave N Flow or Smart Flow, LeafTek, PlyGem Leaf Relief
Advantages:
– Durable
– Made of rust-resistant aluminum
– Slides under shingles

Some brands are Spectra Armour Lock, Amerimax, and Senox Roll Lock, Step Lock or Flat Lock

Also called gutter helmets. They resemble caps that sit atop the gutters. We use LeaFree brand.
