Frequently Asked Questions

Our purpose here is not to promote or tarnish any one company's reputation or discredit the performance of any one product, but to solely express the opinion of Concord Gutter Service which is based on our long standing experience in the field of rain gutter installation, gutter protection and gutter maintenance.

Concord Gutter Service has been in business since 1986. Having completed thousands of jobs, we have installed or removed almost every type of gutter or gutter protection that exists. In those years we have never encountered a single type of gutter or gutter protection that did not need some form of maintenece.

Any type of gutter protection may help keep your gutters clean, but your expectations have to be realistic and some maintenance will be necessary. Perfect gutter protection, one that is completely maintenance free, does not exist.

Regular gutter maintenance is often the best and most economical way to keep your gutters functioning. In fact, there is nothing more reliable than a real person cleaning the gutters, removing roof debris and evaluating the conditions of your gutter system routinely.

We offer 3 products currently:
1. Extreme Gutter Guard
2. Gutter RX
3. Leaf Free

THE IMPORTANT PART IS WE STAND BEHIND THE INSTALLATION OF OUR GUTTER GUARD PRODUCTS. WE ARE ALSO ALWAYS GOING TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A REALISTIC EXPECTATION OF WHAT EACH GUTTER GUARD WILL MEAN TO YOU AS IT PERTAINS TO MAINTENECE AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION!

We get requests to install gutter protection that homeowners buy on the internet or from hardware stores and we are happy to install those products and accommodate our customers with our informed opinion regarding them. The price of installation will be determined by the price of gutter cleaning and the difficulty of the job. We will also provide the homeowner with a gutter cleaning price with the gutter protection in place and suggest at least a once a year cleaning and check-up for the system. We will not obligate ourselves to stand behind the performance or the warranty of a particular product, but we will insure that the gutter protection is installed properly.

If you are considering installation of a gutter protection system, then please read the fine print in the manufacturer's warranty. Terms like "lifetime" warranty or "never clogs," are the type of language designed to get the end-user to think a particular gutter protection product is completely maintenance free. For your convenience, a sampling of gutter protection systems is listed below with links to each product's website. If you do not find a detailed warranty on the website, you should request one.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, but if you are determined to install gutter protection, let Concord Gutter Service recommend a sensible system for you or instead have your gutters cleaned on a regular basis.

Most warranties originate from the manufacturers, not installers of gutter protection products. They often offer what appear to be excellent warranties that are in fact so good that they are unbelievable. While the gutter protection is warranted not to clog for 25 years or lifetime, the warranty will often spell out that periodic or occasional cleaning is necessary or that a special brush will be supplied for the homeowner to periodically brush off the fine screen mesh or filter.

Rather than just listening to the hype about a revolutionary product that promises to save you time and money, please read the fine print of the full version of a warranty for conditions, exclusions, prorating and remedies to any problems. Lastly, what does common sense tell you: are you buying a great product that will work, or are you paying for a warranty?
