Why does my home need gutters?
It costs less to prevent problems than to repair them. If you've ever walked out of your home and been drenched at the door, you've thought about gutters. If you have unsightly stains or damage on your stone, brick or siding, you should think about gutters. If you have installed costly landscaping only to see it wash away in the rain, you should think about gutters. If you have cracks in your walls, floors, or ceilings, or your doors don't shut correctly due to settling, you should think about gutters. If you have foundation problems and/or soil erosion, you should think about gutters. After so many years in the gutter business, we've heard all these reasons and more time and time again. Improper rain control and drainage around your home or property can be unsightly and extremely costly. By making the small investment of less than 1% of the cost of your home, you can rest assured that your property will reap the benefits of a high-quality rain and water control system. Your wise investment now will save you thousands of dollars over the long term!

What is Gutter Helmet®?
Gutter Helmet® is a patented gutter protection system that installs right over your existing gutters. It blocks leaves and other debris out of your gutters while allowing rainwater to flow into your gutters freely. This revolutionary system protects your home from the harmful effects of clogged gutters, build up of rainwater, and insect infestation. Gutter Helmet® is the superior gutter protection system on the market. Gutter Helmet® is engineered to last a lifetime. That’s why we back it up with a three-part lifetime warranty!

How does Gutter Helmet® work?
Gutters become useless when they become clogged with leaves and debris. Clogged gutters can rot and damage your home, lawn, basement, foundation and landscaping. Gutter Helmet’s® secret is the principle of surface tension. Hold a glass under a running faucet and you can see surface tension at work. The water flows around the outside of the glass. Similarly, water clings to your Gutter Helmet® as it flows down the roof, flowing freely into your gutters. Leaves, dirt and other debris, however, fall to the ground below. Your gutters stay open and clear!

What benefits can I expect with Gutter Helmet®?
The benefits are many: • Keeps your gutters clear from clogs; • Ensures that dirt, leaves, and debris roll off of your roof and stay out of your gutters; • Deters infestation of birds, animals, and insects; • Protects your home’s foundation and landscaping by properly directing rainwater away from your home; • Protects against harmful mold, mildew and rot caused by water gathering in your gutters and seeping under your fascia and eaves. And perhaps most importantly, Gutter Helmet® keeps you off that dangerous ladder!

Why should I choose Gutter Helmet®?
Simple … because you’ll never have to clean your gutters again! You avoid the stress of cleaning gunk-filled gutters yourself, or hiring someone to do it for you. No more need for you to risk climbing a shaky ladder. No more unwelcome surprises from nature … such as insects or varmints nesting in your gutters. You avoid overflowing gutters, which can lead to rotting fascia boards and soffit, damaging your foundation, basement, crawl spaces and walls. Never again will rainwater destroy your landscaping by pouring off your roof.

How does Gutter Helmet® compare to gutter screens and other gutter protection products?
The major difference is that other gutter protection products, such as screens or grates, have vertical slots, louvers or other openings. These openings allow leaves and debris to clog your gutters. However, Gutter Helmet’s® unique, multi-patented design has no vertical openings that can allow debris to enter your gutters. Gravity causes leaves and debris to fall harmlessly to the ground, while surface tension causes water to flow around the exclusive cover design and back into your gutters.

What colors are available?
Gutter Helmet® is designed to blend with your roof color. You can choose among several colors to match that of your roof shingles.

How is Gutter Helmet® installed?
Our professional installers first clean, seal, check and adjust the alignment of your present gutter system, where necessary. We custom-fit the Gutter Helmet® product to your home with heavy gauge, reinforced support brackets. Gutter Helmet® panels are individually prepared and secured over your full-size gutters. Our installers will attach your Gutter Helmet® under or over your roof shingles, depending on the construction of your roof. We can usually complete your installation in a single day.

What is SnapLock®?
SnapLock® is an innovative new technology in gutter installation that carries a Lifetime Installation Warranty. No nails, screws, or spikes penetrate the back of your gutter, so you now can prevent leaks and rotting fascia! The Truss SnapLock® Gutter System focuses on providing the end user with a fast, easy, and permanent installation that is superior to all current and past installation practices.
