Heavy snows from this past winter built up on the seamed open-style plastic gutters on a home in St. Cloud. One seam busted on a section near the front door, leading to a noticeable leak out of the gutter as the snow melted. The homeowner was ready for an upgrade and started researching different options online. After coming across our website, he reached out to our office and set up an appointment for a free estimate of gutter replacement. Kevin Feldewerd, our lead Gutter Shutter of St. Cloud salesman, was able to visit the home to draw up a quote and plan.
With very few trees nearby, the homeowner was sure he wanted to stick with a open-style gutter system. Kevin then drew up a proposal for our premium RainGuttersXL system. These seamless rain gutters aren't your average open-top gutters. Heavy gauge aluminum gives them unmatched strength and the squared trough design nearly doubles the amount of water it can hold. To ensure no water dripped off the side of the roof, we also added in a small deflector piece to redirect water right into the gutter. Beyond the replacement of a plastic downspout with our 3x4 aluminum, the addition of a wide mouth outlet instantly doubled the drainage capacity from the system, pushing it down into a long downspout extension that would send all of the water away from the house and into the lawn.
Newer house didn't have gutters-got to have a one on one with the owners and they fell in love with the RGXL open gutter concept.
