The Gutter Cover Company’s Gutter Topper offers total gutter protection, without the holes
By Ken McEntee
Holes may be acceptable in Swiss cheese, or in your teenager’s new pair of $60 jeans. But holes are not acceptable on top of your gutter guards, argues Jim Carbone, owner of the Gutter Cover Company.
Not if you want them to work right—and for a long time.
“Any gutter protector that has holes in the top, whether it is a plastic cover with cheese grater-like holes, or a stainless steel filter, at some point needs to be cleaned off. That’s just how a filter works,” Jim says. “If you’re ever on a ladder cleaning off your gutter guards, your gutter guards aren’t working.”
What makes the Gutter Cover Company’s aluminum Gutter Topper unique is its solid, smooth and sloped design—with no holes on top. This prevents debris from falling into your gutter or accumulating on top.
“When leaves, maple tree whirlybirds, pine needles or anything sliding down your roof gets to the gutter area, they just keep going right off the edge,” Jim explains. “Except for rainwater, which follows the natural curve of the cover right into the gutter. It sheds debris naturally, without you doing anything at all.”
The Gutter Cover Company has been installing Ohio-made Gutter Topper for 21 years.
“I’ve looked at some of our earliest installations and they still look and perform just like they did 15 to 20 years ago,” Jim says.
That’s because they are specially designed to hold up under Ohio’s brutal weather.
“It is tested against torrential downpours, hurricane winds and heavy snow loads,” Jim says. “No matter how severe the weather is, the cover will not get loose or get crushed.”
A locally-owned and operated business that specializes exclusively in gutter protection, the Gutter Topper is installed over existing gutters and installation includes gutter and downspout cleaning, aligning, tightening and resealing. You can even add on ice protection with the Heater Cap, which is available for open gutters and most existing gutter guards. And it’s all done by meticulously trained employees, not subcontractors.
“That’s one reason why our quality has been so consistent over 21 years,” Jim says. “Our installers are experts, not roofers or home improvement contractors who offer to install do-it-yourself gutter screens from the big box store.”
The Gutter Cover Company maintains an A+ rating with the BBB and has received awards from Angie’s List and HomeAdvisor. You can schedule your gutter inspection by calling 440-366-0688 or 800-335-4367. View short videos of Gutter Topper and Heater Cap at GutterGuard1.com.
