The most commonly used gutter – open top gutters – collect rain running off a roof and channel it, to downspouts that carry the rain water to the ground and away from your siding, windows, doors and foundation. In the course of collecting water, open rain gutters also collect leaves, acorns, pine needles, and other debris, which can cause clogs anywhere in the gutter itself or sometimes in the downspouts. In dry conditions, clogged gutters are a fire hazard; and during heavy rains, clogged gutters and downspouts can cause rainwater to overflow, potentially causing substantial damage to your building, landscaping and basement. They should be regularly cleaned of leaves and debris in order to function properly.

Our hood system for gutters keeps debris, ice and snow out, while reducing or eliminating problems and lengthen the life of your gutters, allowing water to flow freely through the gutter, while preventing debris from falling into the gutter and interrupting the flow. Though it adds to the initial installation, these costs can be mitigated over the years by the safety benefits and/or eliminating costs associated with gutter cleaning and potential damage to your home. These costs can range from $150.00 and up, depending on the size of the house and number of gutters. After several years of paying someone to clean your gutters twice a year, it would have covered the cost of our hooded system, which is guaranteed not to clog.
