What material is better to use: Aluminum or Steel?
These are both good products. Steel is a harder material and is more durable, while aluminum is softer and won’t rust. Both materials have the same paint system, which has a warranty for approximately 20% fade over 20 years.
What is the general life span of gutter?
Pre-painted gutter has a 20 year warranty on fade. You could expect a 40 year life, but that is not warrantied. On an unpainted gutter (bonderized or galvanized), the life span depends on the circumstances such as trees, maintenance, etc. You could expect 15-25 years on this type of gutter system. Copper and stainless should last a life time.
How often do I need to maintain my gutters?
Gutter should be checked yearly and under certain trees it is advised to get leaf protection to save on gutter cleaning, otherwise every time the wind blows you could be out cleaning clogged gutters.

Yes, we do. We offer various products according to the types of foliage on site.
