Q. What type of gutters do
you install?
We install seamless aluminum, Galvalume as well as
copper gutters and leaders (downspouts). While the most common gutters
are K-style, they are available in other
styles and sizes, and the aluminum gutters and leaders are available
in white, brown and a variety of colors. We also install "Half
Round"
gutters (available in Copper, Aluminum and Galvalume).
Q.
What about covered gutters (the kind that leaves don't get in)?
These
are referred to as "leaf covers" or "gutter guards". Installing
leaf covers with your gutters will provide protection for your
gutters. Keeping debris out of your gutters will help prevent
clogged gutters and keep the rainwater flowing freely. When a gutter
gets clogged, rainwater gets trapped in the gutter system. When this
happens, your gutters become a breeding ground for mosquitos. In
addition, leaf covers will prevent birds from building nests inside
the gutter and clogging it. When your gutters are clogged, water
will collect in the gutter but will not drain into the leader (downspout),
causing it to spill over, which can create interior leaks,
foundation damage and soil erosion as well as providing "standing
water" on the ground for
mosquito breeding.
Q. Will gutters handle heavy downpours with leaf covers
intalled?
Yes. When properly installed, Gutter Control can handle
almost any amount of rainfall. They have been tested in conditions
up to 6 inches of rain per hour. Our design allows only
water to enter your gutters by surface tension and electromagnetic
attraction. Water follows the curved surface into your gutters while
causing debris to fall over the edge.
Q.Will pine needles, seedlings or other debris find it's way into
the guttering?
Debris and leaves are mostly blown into open top gutters, which
can cause severe clogging and the need for messy gutter cleaning.
In most cases, if small bits of debris do enter your gutter, they
will flush through the gutters and out the downspout.
It is important that your guttering be cleaned thoroughly before
installation. An annual inspection of your gutters and downspouts
is recommended.
Q. Can you install leaf covers on my existing gutters?
In most cases, leaf covers can be installed on your existing gutter
system depending on the type of gutters that you have. Call Superior
Gutters at 903-597-1111 and we will be happy to come out and take
a look at your gutter system and give you a free quote.
Q. Is there a warranty on Superior Gutters?
Yes. Superior Gutters are backed by a limited five-year warranty that covers
material defects. They also come with a 50 year paint guarantee. In addition,
installation is warrantied for 5 years by Superior Gutters.
Q. Do you clean gutters and what does it cost?
Yes,
we clean gutters. The
cost of a gutter cleaning is determined by the size of the house
and the ease (or difficulty) of accessing the gutters. Call
Superior Gutters at 903-597-1111 for a free estimate for cleaning
your gutters.
Q. How often should we have our gutters cleaned?
Most
houses need gutters cleaned twice a year; once in the spring and
once in the fall. Some
need more, others less, usually depending on the amount of trees
near the house.
Q. Do you repair gutters and what does it cost?
Yes, we repair gutters. The cost of gutter repair depends on the
extent of the damage to the gutter system. Call Superior Gutters
