Your gutter system is built to blend into the exterior of your home and not be noticed. While they are not exactly hidden, you may not even notice them when you are looking at a home across the street, or on a Sunday afternoon drive. You may not think about your own gutter system very often either, until it is time to climb the ladder and clean them out periodically! Your gutters perform a very important function – to allow water to flow away from your home so that it does not pool on your roof or property and cause costly water damage.

Your standard gutter system is not built for the leaves that fall – they are made to allow water to flow away from your home, to protect it from water damage.

As of the latest estimate, Minnesota is home to over 14.7 billion trees! That means that over 17 million acres of the state is densely wooded! That amounts to a lot of falling leaves this season… leaves that inevitably will end up piling up inside many homeowners’ gutters. Are your gutters at risk of clogging? All you may know at this point is that you have gutters, but perhaps they’re not doing what they’re designed to do. Perhaps they keep getting clogged, they are a bit unsightly, or just that there has to be a better solution. Enter gutter guards. Gutter guards are metal additions (or caps) that are installed on the top side Read Full Post

Cooler nights are upon us, which means that fall will be here before we know it. By the end of September, cooler nights and cooler days will begin to turn the leaves to their brilliant golds, oranges, and reds that we all adore.
