Is Gutter Guard Truly Worth the Buy?

Here at Professional Gutter & Drain, we have had over 30 years of experience with gutter guard/gutter protection. One of our most common questions we are asked: “Is Gutter Guard Truly Worth the Buy?” Short answer…yes! Now there is quite a bit of science that is involved with gutter protection, and choosing the right type of gutter guard for your home is highly important. What many homeowners run into as they are deciding on what type of gutter guard to choose from, is that there are so many different styles of gutter guard. Each one is claiming that you would never need to clean your gutter and downspout system ever again. Now, this is true with some types of gutter guard, but certainly not all of them. Also, another important note is that you will still need to maintenance ANY type of gutter guard you install. Yes, every product needs to be maintained in some sort of fashion. Now that being said here are some bad qualities to be aware of when trying to decide:

BUYERS BEWARE OF:

Long and tiresome sales pitch
“Piggy-Backing”- meaning adding materials on bigger jobs to bring your cost down.
Flexible schedule for additional discount
Calling a manager for additional discount
Other excuses or reasons to “save the sale”
High pressure sales tactics such as sharp price drops
Steer clear of any product made from plastic or vinyl components. They will break down over time and eventually fail.

GOOD QUALITIES TO LOOK FOR:

Made in the USA
Stainless Steel Micro Mesh
At least a 20 year warranty
Friendly & reliable service
Reputation
Quality craftsmanship

Again, you will still need to maintenance even the best types of gutter guard out there, but the maintenance is much less than having to clean your gutters 2-3 times a year. It is very important to keep your gutter system working properly, and investing your money into the right type of gutter protection for your home could save you thousands later on down the road. Some of the issues you could face with improperly functioning gutters is:

As a full service gutter company we do gutter cleaning and repair as well. This type of service is completed during a service call out to your home. As part of a gutter service call, we will clean debris from your gutters and give your entire gutter / downspout system a “tune-up”. This means we will spend up to two man hours cleaning, tightening loose fasteners, adding fasteners, re-pitching gutter, refastening downspouts, re-sealing corners, and making other adjustments on an as needed basis. If two man hours is not enough time to complete gutter cleaning and repair on your entire home than additional time will be charged per man hour.

For gutter replacement columbus, here are several different profiles and sizes of 1/2 round gutter. They are commonly made of galvanized steel, copper, or reverse bead seamless aluminum. The most common profile of 1/2 round gutter is a single bead across the front of the gutter and a double bead version with a bead in the front and back of the gutter is available.

There are many different hangers and bracket systems available to hang and support 1/2 round gutter. Typical sizes range from 5″ gutter with fluted or smooth round downspouts to 8″ with 5″ round downspouts. Due to the profile of the gutter and it’s limited capacity we recommend no smaller than 6″ be installed in the central Ohio – Columbus Ohio area. When installing copper or galvanized 1/2 round gutter we solder the seams and joints to provide decades of leak free service.

Rhino Gutter Guard

RHINO GUTTER GUARD was designed and developed to bring an affordable yet reliable gutter protection product to market that works with everyone’s budget. The gutters on your home were designed to collect and channel the water from your roof “away” from your home’s walls, landscaping, and most importantly, your foundation. Unprotected gutters quickly collect debris and clog, causing the water to channel to all the wrong areas. When RHINO is installed, the debris collection is eliminated and your gutters can work as intended.

The RHINO is a high quality product with strength and durability built into each and every piece. It will take the heaviest rain of rainfalls while preventing even the smallest of debris from ever entering the gutter system. Absolutely nothing but water will ever enter your gutter. The stainless steel mesh combined with the strong aluminum body makes RHINO the clear choice in gutter protection. We are so confident in our product, we offer a 20 year NO NONSENSE-NO CLOG warranty! And best of all, it’s 100% made in the USA!

The RHINO is the gutter protection system you need at a price that just makes sense!
