The Gutter Cover Company reveals which type of protection may be right for your home
By Jim Carbone, Gutter Cover Company
With all of the different products available for gutter protection, most homeowners want to know which product works the best and can be installed at a reasonable price.
Here are some helpful tips about what to look for when choosing a gutter cover and who to call to install it.
A good gutter cover needs to perform in certain areas in order to be successful:
• Keep out debris like small leaves, needles, spinners, seedpods and roof shingle grit.
• Handle heavy amounts of rainwater without overflowing.
• Must be wind resistant and strong enough not to “cave-in” under heavy snow loads.
• Must not require any trips up the ladder to maintain performance.
• Cannot have vertical openings like screens or filters that can clog easily.
The Gutter Cover Company has been installing Gutter Topper in Northeast Ohio for almost 20 years. Gutter Topper is proudly manufactured right here in Ohio and made to withstand our wicked weather.
It is a smooth, solid aluminum cover that has no holes or gaps on top. A sloped self-shedding design prevents spinners, pine needles, shingle grit, or seedpods from clogging the gutter.
The old method of using gutter screens (pictured above) becomes ineffective as leaves and stems fall on the screens and get trapped, creating a mound of rotting debris on top of your gutters. Cleaning gutter screens is no easy chore.
Our Gutter Topper boasts independent product testing by PRI Asphalt Technologies, which showed that Gutter Topper could handle heavy downpours of up to 22 inches of rain per hour and 110 mph winds. It also features a lifetime transferable performance warranty, providing confidence that the gutters will remain free flowing.
Gutter Topper can be installed over existing gutters and each installation includes cleaning, tightening, re-sealing and properly aligning your gutters. New seamless gutters are also available.
The Gutter Cover Company also offers a safe and effective way to stop big icicles and ice damming—not the old-fashioned zigzag roof wires. An optional add-on product called Heater Cap can be installed with or without Gutter Topper that gently heats the gutter area with a self-regulated heat cable.
An aluminum plate then covers the cable that protects it, hides it and helps spread the heat to a larger area. Controls are even located inside the warmth of your home. Heater Cap is perfect for problem areas like doorways or areas that have a history of water back up. It can also be installed on most existing gutter covers.
Hiring the right company to install the cover correctly is very important. Try calling a company that’s focused on gutter protection only. This way, you can feel confident that all of their time is being dedicated to the task at hand.
