Gutter guards only work when the gutter line is sound first. We check slope, hangers, fascia, roof valleys, and tree cover before recommending a guard. Most installs use Alu-Rex because it fits Pittsburgh rain, snow, and leaf load well.
Alu-Rex is the guard system we use most because it gives us clean options for new gutters, existing gutters, and reinforced gutter runs. The important part is the inspection first: if the gutter is loose, undersized, or pitched wrong, a guard will not fix that by itself.
Water has to move fast enough to leave the gutter. We check pitch, outlet size, and where each downspout dumps.
If the gutter is pulling away or the fascia is soft, we fix the support before covering the top.
Leaves, pine needles, roof grit, and steep valleys all change which guard setup makes sense.
If we are already replacing the roof or installing new gutters, adding guards is cleaner, faster, and easier to price accurately.
The page stays simple because the quote does the detail work. These are the main things we look at before recommending a scope.
We look at tree cover, roof valleys, gutter size, slope, fascia condition, and downspout placement.
Existing gutters may only need a retrofit guard. Weak or undersized gutters may need replacement first.
Most homes finish in one day. Gutters cleaned, guards installed, downspouts tested, paperwork handled.
