What is the installation procedure for your gutter covers?

by | Jan 17, 2012

Every company approaches gutter cover installations in different ways depending on the product design, the type of guarantee offered, and the skill of the installers.

Our approach is simple and straightforward. When we make the initial visit to inspect your gutter system and give you a bid, we inspect the existing gutters for signs of fatigue, leaks, deformation, loose spikes, corrosion etc.

If the gutters are in bad shape we will quote you on New Replacement Gutters at a reasonable cost.

Provided we have a good substrate to mount our gutter cover to, we can work with your existing gutter system which results significant cost savings. About 80% of the time we can use the existing gutters after we have fine tuned them to accept our covers. The steps we use in preparation for mounting our covers is the same on every installation we do.

1. Hand Clean Gutters – Remove all debris.

2. Clean Gutter Outlets and Downspouts as needed for proper operation.

3. Check for loose Spikes or Hangers – Retighten or add new if required

4. Check gutters for proper pitch to ensure correct flow to downspouts

5. Caulk & Seal all end caps and corner miters

6. Install gutter cover

7. Remove and Dispose of all job related debris.

By following these steps we start with a clean and properly functioning system that will evacuate water, sediment, roof grit during heavier downpours.

Many times the preparation work takes 3 times longer than it does to actually install the cover, but is vitally important to long term performance of the product  and minimizes costly service calls for us.
