Before & After Photos

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. 

This homeowner saw our mailer ad for a premium gutter system and decided it was time for an upgrade. The existing seamed K-style gutters were not keeping up with the trees close to the house. 

After meeting with our salesman Kevin Feldewerd, the homeowner decided to replace all but one section with Gutter Shutter. The home had several uneven rooflines, leading to multiple gutter runs needing to connect indirectly. The previous system accomplished this by inefficiently dumping water onto the shingles to make its way into the gutter, as seen in the photo. 

To provide more efficient flow and 100% water capture, our installers cut directly into the hood and inserted the other run in. This direct connection blocks debris, creates a much cleaner look, and prevents any risk of damage to the roof. 

Ed was in the market to put a first gutter system on his home. After receiving a company postcard in the mail, Ed called up our office and got an appointment set up with Kevin, our Minnesota salesman. Once he had a full installation plan in hand and saw a demonstration of our product, he signed off on the work and got our production department moving. 

In these photos, you can easily see the step-style fascia boards. To properly mount a gutter, a flush surface is needed to maintain the flow of the system and keep the water following the trough. We make this flush by bending up metal flashing at a 90 degree angle twice, creating a square shape that adds depth to the recessed fascia board. In the installed photo, it is easy to see how the lower half of the gutter is not sitting against the lower board. 

Gutter Shutter of St. Cloud installed our premium open-style product on this home to get this section's water away from the house!

The old seamless gutter on this home in Sauk Rapids, MN was clogging, rusting, and leaking from its perch on an angled fascia board. With such a steep angle, the gutter had been mounted with inside hangers and wedges to keep it flowing towards the downspout end, which wear and tear eventually reduced. Gutter Shutter's extra-large gutter trough and our commitment to long-lasting design changes our approach to working on angled fascia boards.

Rather than using wedges that can rust out, we build out 1x6 boards to square off the angle and create a solid surface for the gutter to be mounted on. To ensure longevity and water protection, we also fully wrap the boards with a color-matched fascia wrap. The high-back design of Gutter Shutter also helps prevent water from slipping behind the gutter and into the fascia. This 33 foot piece of seamless gutter was installed with our solid-cover style to eliminate any chance of catching pine needles. All this would drain down to the far end downspout, equipped with our wide mouth outlet to ensure maximum drainage.
