Raleigh Home Show was a big success for LeavesOut Gutter Guards!

This past weekend we had over 85 people interested in LeavesOut Gutter Covers.  Several set up an appointment at the show and we are giving them estimates this week.  It was effective for the home owners to see some other gutter guard products on the market and shop and compare right at the show.  We still have the Strongest warranty on the market for about half the price of most all other products that offer a lifetime guarantee!  We had many customers come from Raleigh | Wake Forest | Cary | Chapel Hill | Creedmore | Clayton | Knightdale | Durham | Fuqua Varina.  Please let us know if we can help you solve your gutter problems as well.  Thank you and have a great day!  Ben

Why Gutter Guards are Less Expensive than Gutter Cleaning

Homeowners that have trees have a constant battle with overflowing gutters that cause most of their moisture problems.  So either you clean out the gutters yourself or you constantly pay someone else and hope that the problems will be reduced. 

Gutter Cleaning:

  1. The Wear and Tear- Your roof and gutters are torn, scratched, dented and broken every time someone cleans out your gutters.
  2. Are they really clog free?- How do you know if all the gutters and downspouts are really clean and free flowing outside of climbing up the ladder yourself and inspecting. 
  3. What happens every time they overflow?- It causes problems to your landscaping, foundation, basement, windows, doors, siding, concrete, and anything else including you that gets under the runoff.
  4. What lives in your clogged gutters?- Cockroaches, Mosquitoes, Ear Wigs, Carpenter Ants, Squirrels, Birds, Spiders, Snakes and tons of other wildlife and all types of plants can grow out of them as well.
  5. Price- $350-$800 ANNUALLY

There are over 80 different types of Gutter Guards [http://www.raleighgutterguards.com] on the market today so which ones work the very best?

Here are the things that really matter:

1.  The Warranties- You want a gutter guard that comes standard with a Lifetime No-Clog Guarantee, Money Back Guarantee, Lifetime Material Warranty, and at least a 20 Year Transferable Warranty all in writing.

2.  The Performance- The Gutter Cover should handle at least 12″ of Rain per Hour, Guarantee to never overflow even when the valleys have debris in them, All covers or guards that have any type of hole or screen in it will eventually clog itself and overflow because mildew and mold grows in them and small organic materials will clog them.  It has to be a solid gutter cover with a continous gap of a minimal of 2′ wide between the lip of the gutter guard and the lip of the gutter, not the small slots for sticks and pine needles to clog up in.  It also needs to be a small opening of 1/4″-1/2″ and no more.  The Gutter Guard does not need to be nailed or screwed through your roof making it very difficult to salvage the product when you go to re-roof.  The Gutter Cover should have end caps to completely enclose the system and protect it from Birds, Squirrels and debris getting in.

3.  The Appearance- It should come in an unlimited color selection to custom match your gutters or better yet your roof!  It should be low profile and smooth so as to blend in with the gutters and/or roof and virtually disappear.  The Paint should be a lifetime product that never fades and is resistant to scratches and stains.  Also the “nose” or front of the gutter guard should be set back a little to protect against ladders denting it and causing it to overflow because of those dents.  [http://www.raleighgutterguards.com]

4.  The Price- It should be competitive compared to the other solid gutter covers with the above mentioned warranties.

5.  The Company- It is critical to find a company who stands behind their promises and it shows.  As you do research and read testimonials you should find someone you can trust to work on your home and is licensed and insured.

Raleigh Gutter Guards Pressure Washing

Hello Everyone,

Because we got such a good response from the How to do Gutter Cleaning we thought a few suggestions on pressure washing could be helpful.

Suggestions on Pressure Washing:

Electric Power washers ($165 or so) are good 1800 psi is usually sufficient when you use an effective chemical for your home.  Also you can buy attachments like an extension rod which will get you closer to the dirt or jets which spin and clean decks and driveways.  The chemical should be able to “eat away” the algae and dirt without hurting any plants or animals.  The following is a method you can use:

  1. Remove any items that can be damaged
  2. Set up your pressure washer directly below where you will use the ladder with enough slack to reach the higher places
  3. Set up your ladder with a 2 or 3 story house to reach the higher spots
  4. Always start from the very top of the house and work your way down so dirt and cobwebs and debris will flow down to the bottom
  5. I like to pre-soak the area then apply the chemical with a pump sprayer to use it sparingly then let is soak for 5-8 minutes
  6. Rinse off the area- basically you are washing your home not blasting it and possibly damaging the exterior of your home
  7. I like to use electric because they are affordable, quiet, clean and do a good job

Raleigh Gutter Guards | Gutter Cleaning

Hello, we wanted to help those who have not yet experienced the fun of Gutter Cleaning.

1. Use a ladder that is safe. You can purchase a stand-off (stabilizer) from Home Depot or Lowes for around $20 which will prevent the ladder from sliding or falling sideways. Also levelers are a great added safety feature for unlevel surfaces.

2. You can either use a 5 gallon bucket to put the debris in or use a gas blower from the roof if it is low pitched and safe to walk.

3. There are certain chemicals you can use to make your gutters look bright white and new again also but they need to be “hand” rubbed to apply.

If you need any assistance we would be happy to help fix your gutter problems forever if you so desire with our lifetime gutter guards. Contact Ben Rutter 919-219-2289 raleighgutterguards@yahoo.com or http://www.raleighgutterguards.com.

Thank You and have a great Day!
