Gutters

Gutters are an important part of a home's rainwater drainage system. If they fail, the foundation could be undermined, or rainwater could ruin the exterior or flood the interior. Leaves and other tree debris seem to cause the most gutter trouble for homeowners.

If you need to have your gutters cleaned, I can clean them. If you need a gutter shield installed to keep tree debris out of your gutters, I can install it. (I am testing various gutter protection products and hope to have some results by summer 2004. Then, I'll be prepared to make a recommendation.)

If you have rainwater running behind your gutters (as evidenced by vertical streaks on the fascia board behind and below the gutter), I can easily install flashing that will guide water into the gutter. This will help to keep the fascia boards from rotting.

 

I cleaned the leaves out of these gutters, so rainwater can now flow out.

 

I cleaned all the pinestraw out of this gutter and covered it with the covers pictured on the right. (I will install this product, but I cannot yet vouch for its effectiveness.)
