Today you have many choices when it comes to keeping debris out of your rain gutter. Let’s take a look at a couple of the leading products on the market today.
Gutter Sentry – This option allows you to add the filtration system to your existing gutters and downspouts with out replacing the entire gutter. To get the warranties with other companies, they often require you to replace the entire system with their system. This can be a very expensive option. Gutter Sentry is promoted to stop damage to your fascia boards, siding and landscape due to water run off and overflow. This system comes in custom made 5” and 6” gutters, and does not attach to the actual roof. Products that attach to the roofing material will have to be removed when the roof is redone.
GutterMaxx – This option offers free quotes. GutterMaxx proclaims to be the only self-flushing system, with two water entry points. Installation is relatively easy since it comes with a unique yet convenient snap-on, snap-off cover. This system was designed to help protect your home against rot and water filtration to your fascia, as well as overhanging areas. This option also has a quality look to the gutters on your home.
