Clearing Gutter Clogs

If your gutters are regularly clogging or backing up, one of the easiest solutions is usually to invest in a gutter guard or gutter protection system. Gutter guards prevent larger forms of debris from entering your gutters, while allowing rainwater to continue to flow through.

Not all gutter guards are created equal, however. Many aren’t rated for protection against pine needles, which can result in having to continue to clean your gutters with the added frustration of a guard in the way. That’s why we recommend Alu-Rex’s DoublePro gutter system for buildings near coniferous trees, which has an anti-clogging warranty valid in pine tree zones.

It is worth noting that the DoublePro (and some other gutter guards) can only be installed on new gutter systems and not on old ones. In many cases, homeowners find it worth the upfront investment to get a new gutter system that includes high-quality, warrantied protection feature instead of opting for a cheaper option that may wind up clogging anyway. If you have any questions about which option would be best for you, let us know! We’re happy to answer them.

Fix Leaking Gutters

Gutters can leak for a variety of reasons, but a frequent cause is the deterioration of sealant between gutter sections. While sealant can be reapplied, it’s difficult to do well and it will eventually fail again.

A better, longer-term solution is to replace the leaking sections with either seamless continuous gutter segments, or more a more durable steel gutter system that uses rubber-sealed gutter connections.

Repairing Gutter Dents & Cracks

Aluminum gutters are often thin and prone to dents, while plastic gutters can develop cracks, especially after being struck by a ladder or debris from a windstorm. Unfortunately, many homeowners and building managers don’t realize that this damage can’t be repaired in any meaningful way. Once your gutters are damaged, they will almost always need to be replaced.

To prevent this kind of damage from happening in the first place, consider installing aluminum gutters with continuous gutter hangers that reinforce their entire length. If you want an even tougher eavestrough system, half-round steel gutters will shrug off forces that would crumple some aluminum gutters!

Broken Gutter Mountings

The mountings that attach your eavestroughs to your roof or fascia can suffer damage from direct impact, stress from extreme temperatures, weight applied to your gutters, or even just poor installation. You can reduce the amount of temperature fluctuation and increase resistance to damage by switching to a steel gutter system, or significantly improve the weight bearing capacity of aluminum gutters by installing a new system with a continuous gutter hanging system.

Roof Fascia Repair & Replacement

If your fascia board is rotting, not only does it make your home look unattractive, but it’s also no longer a solid foundation for your gutters.

No need to search for a carpenter — Best Gutters has professional experience with replacing rotted roof fascia. We’ll even drop it off ahead of time if you want to paint it prior to installation.

Sharp new fascia behind new eavestroughs does wonders for the look of your home, as well as keeping moisture on the outside, where it belongs!
