Question 1

What size gutters do I need for my home?

Accepted Answer

Most Wisconsin homes do well with 5″ K style. Steeper roofs, large roof planes, or homes under heavy tree cover often benefit from 6″. We size every job after walking the roof, and you'll see the recommendation in writing before any work starts.

Question 2

Are gutter guards worth it in Wisconsin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but only the right kind. We install stainless micro mesh guards that keep out pine needles, seeds, and grit. Cheaper plastic or foam guards tend to fail after a few freeze cycles.

Question 3

How do you prevent ice dams?

Accepted Answer

Ice dams form when warm attic air melts snow at the ridge and it refreezes at the cold eave. We address both: proper attic ventilation, heated cable on at-risk eaves, and gutter / downspout sizing that handles snowmelt volume.

Question 4

Do you install copper gutters?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Half round and K style copper with soldered seams. Most copper work goes on lakefront homes and historic restorations. It's significantly more than aluminum but ages beautifully and holds up for decades.

Question 5

How often should gutters be cleaned without guards?

Accepted Answer

Twice a year is the rule: once in late spring after the maples drop their seeds, and once in late fall after the leaves are down. Homes with heavy oak or pine cover may need a third visit.

Question 6

Will homeowner's insurance cover storm-damaged gutters?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. Wind and hail damage to gutters, fascia, and soffit is typically covered under standard homeowner policies, minus your deductible. We photograph the damage during the estimate and give you a written quote your adjuster can work from.

Question 7

A storm knocked my gutter down. Do I need a full replacement?

Accepted Answer

Usually not. If the run isn't creased or split, we can often rehang it with new hangers and repair the fascia behind it. If a section is beyond saving, we replace just that run to match the rest. We quote both options and you decide.

Question 8

How fast can you come out after a storm?

Accepted Answer

We look at safety issues first, like gutters hanging over doors and walkways, and open fascia letting water into the roofline. Most storm calls get a walkthrough and a written quote within a day or two.
