When gutter installation is done correctly by a competent company the rain gutters last for many years. The homeowner typically doesn’t notice their presence. That’s the whole idea – for the gutters to fade into the background while doing their job.

You can count on Guttersmith to be on time, honest, reliable and easy to work with.

Properly installed seamless gutter systems bring many benefits to your property, one of which is noise reduction during heavy rains. You can also choose to get gutter guards installed which reduce the need for cleaning throughout the year.

What Everyone Should Know About Gutters

Proper installation of gutters includes measurement of the eaves (along the fascia to which the gutter will be attached with hangars every two feet), placement of downspouts at least every 44 feet, and ensuring the gutter is hung with a level that places a proper pitch for drainage.

A very common mistake we see is installation of gutters over the drip edge instead of under the drip edge. Drip edge is an L shaped piece of metal which is secured to the very edge of your roof, under the shingle, tile or other material. It hangs over the fascia and protects that very edge of the wood upon which your roofing material is hanging. The back edge of the gutter must be placed under that drip edge to prevent wood rot to the fascia boards.

Because proper installation is time intensive, unlicensed workers can be found installing gutter over the drip edge. This can save hours of time on a job with the added detriment of harm to the property and the homeowner. This is why it’s best to only work with a licensed gutter company.

Why Hire Guttersmith?

We’ve done countless gutter installations in Dunedin, Clearwater, Safety Harbor, Largo, and all over Pinellas County. We offer both 6″ and 7″ seamless gutters, as well as box gutters upon request.

For commercial buildings proper gutter installations can help create safer conditions for customers and employees while protecting the building by taking water out and away in the proper manner. Landscaping and flower beds close to the building is also protected, as the water doesn’t pour off the roof onto the beds, damaging them.

For three story buildings or houses we use lifts with proper harnesses. We carry workers compensation insurance to protect the customer and employee alike and are insured with general liability insurance as well.

Local Company Gutter Installs

In Clearwater, Dunedin and the other cities where we install gutter systems the torrential hurricane season brings heavy rainfalls and can cause a property to take on extra water close to the foundation.

Moving this water away from the foundation is important. It reduces the risk of water intrusion damage and even mold.

With all the trees in the area we also recommend gutter covers if your gutter is prone to filling up with leaves or acorns. They are sometimes also called leaf guards or gutter guard.
