Challenge

These folks are surrounded by pine, fir, and cedar trees. If you are too, you know they shed like SUBSTANTIALLY, so the gutters were constantly clogged.

Solution

Worse than the maintenance issue this clogging caused, water was being channeled back into the roof, fascia, and soffits due to a lack of proper roof flashings. We removed the old system, installed perimeter flashing, and installed the MasterShield gutter guards. Now, they can rest easy knowing their gutters are one less thing they need to worry about
