Yes, first of all, the quality is different; we use a thicker aluminum coil than the normal hardware stores. Our gutter capacity is bigger, comparing 5-inch to 6 and 7-inch gutter, and we can make the length of gutter any size your home needs. We have replaced many gutter jobs that had been first attempted by the homeowner. Installing rain gutters is not as easy as it may look. Our professional installation will enhance your home and give it additional value.

The Leafguard and maintenance programs or a scheduled once-a-year clean with our company would certainly remedy this problem.

This is a very good question, and the answer is because of all the different types of homes and roof sizes that are being built. The old phrase “bigger is always better” certainly applies to gutters, but not all the homes we install need to have the larger of the two sizes.

Yes, even though our products come with a baked on enamel finish, and we offer many colors to choose from, there are many homeowners that want their gutter to match the custom color of their home. We recommend that you check with your painter or supplier of paint products on preparing your new gutter and downspouts for painting. It certainly can be painted and it is done quite often.

We are a state-registered aluminum specialty contractor. Each municipality has different requirements; make sure that the contractor that you use is licensed and properly insured. Designer Gutter Company has been a contractor in good standing for the past 33 years. Along with being licensed, it is required that we maintain our licenses with continued education, which keeps us up-to-date on any changes in the industry and/or changes within the state of Florida.

There are many products available for the protection of your gutters. We have several to choose from and will gladly show you the different types and suggest the best product for your situation.
