Clogged gutters? Schedule Your Gutter Service Now! Overflowing gutter
Gutters are one thing on your home that many times gets little to no maintenance. Whether your home is directly surrounded by trees or in a new development, you need to maintain your gutters at least one time per year. The obvious is that tall trees will create clogged gutters and therefore chances for water to overflow over the gutters and get inside your home.
But even if you don't have trees, periodically your gutters need to be re-secured to the house, properly sloped and checked for leaks in seams and corners. In the winter months, gutters have snow and ice accumulation and the additional weight can cause the gutters to pull away from the fascia board they are hung on. This is why cleaning and re-tightening is so critical both before winter and then again in the spring to prepare your home for the onslaught of heavy rain storms.

Swarmageddon! Metal Roof and Magicicada Energy Retro-Fits make HUGE Sense This summer we met the Lamson family originally from Iowa. They really know how to renovate for optimal energy efficiency. The family loves their 1950 split level ranch home and decided that every improvement they make to the home must be done with a strong sense of energy efficiency. So when it came time to replace the roof they knew who to call. We worked with Brian Lamson to design a new retro fitted roof deck that allows for maximum ventilation and incorporates an aluminum barrier that minimizes the suns heat penetration into the home. The new roof system is 20x1" double locked standing seam metal in a Champagne color from Peterson Aluminum. The roof is a "cool color" reducing heat transmission by up to 30%. Tech-deck Low E aluminum coated OSB sheathing was selected for the retro fit roof deck as it provides 1" of clear air flow from the vented drip edge and soffit area up to the roofs peak ridge vent. The aluminum underside of the sheathing doesn't let the heat of the sun penetrate into the home’s vaulted ceiling living spaces. Lamson also removed the drop ceiling in the home, upgraded to spray foam insulation and installed new vaulted ceilings for a much more usable open space. The new roofing system and insulation upgrades keep the home very cool even in the 100+ days in July while we were out there working on the job. These are the types of projects we enjoy collaborating with the homeowners on to provide optimal performance and long term cost saving solutions.
