Gutter Shutter Chicago

I just had the Gutter Shutters put on my house and I am extremely happy.
What really impressed me the most was the installer that did the job. His name was Nate and he is worth his weight in gold. He showed up early and worked straight through the day. He even skipped lunch to get the work done.
The only time he stopped was when I asked him to move his truck because I had to get out of the driveway. When I got back the gutters were done and the yard was so clean that you couldn’t even tell someone had worked there. And the gutters look great. A very drastic improvement.
Thank you Gutter Shutter and especially Nate the installer.

I just had the entire exterior of my home remodeled, roof, siding, windows, and gutters. For my new gutters I choose to go with the gutter shutter gutter guards.
Honestly, I have no idea about these things. What I do know is I live in an area that has lots of trees. I clean my gutters on the front of my house once or twice a year, which is about 5 times less than I should be doing it. The back of my house is three stories up, I don’t touch them, ever, for obvious reasons! Over the years my white gutters had basically turned black and stripped. I would guess from clogging and overflowing.
So when it came time to do the exterior project on my house, I wanted to see if leaf guard gutters made sense. I got quotes on gutters like I had on the house and on the covered typed. I will say the covered ones are significantly more expensive. I would say some where around 2 – 3 times the price. But I guess it makes sense considering more material is needed and most of the companies put a pretty strong guarantee that your gutters won’t clog. Plus as far as professionalism goes, the leaf guard gutter companies were significantly better.
I got 2 quotes for standard gutters (tried to get three but 3 of the companies I called didn’t answer there phone and never called back). The guys that did show up looked like they had just gotten done putting up some gutters. Which is fine, but didn’t give me any confidence or trust when it came to giving them money or trusting that they would actually warranty their work. Plus I couldn’t find any info about either one of them online… neither are on Unilocal.
The covered gutter companies were much better. Three out of 4 actually had a humans that answered the phone and the 4^th one (who I decided to not have come out) actually called me back. I found information on the 3 that I had come out online, and they were all listed with Unilocal.Also when the representatives from the companies came out you could tell these were sales guys and not the installers. Again I may be wrong to think this way, but I just feel better dealing with a professional organization and not some guy working out of his garage.
I ultimately decided to spend the extra money for the leaf gutters and I ultimately decided to go with The Gutter Shutter product. I would say all of the companies had decent online reputations, all of the sales people were professional and showed up on time and were courteous, and all of the prices were within a few hundred bucks of each other. What made me choose this company was the product itself. It appeared to be the strongest out of the three that I saw. The other covered product seemed flimsy and the other was a standard gutter with a screen over it. I just can’t see how a screen won’t clog, no matter how small the openings are. I don’t know, I could be wrong.
Anyways I signed a contract with Gutter Shutter and away we went. It was probably 2 months before the gutters where installed because that was the last thing that got done on my house after the roof and siding. I want to thank Gutter Shutter for working with me. I had to change my install date 3 times because of the scheduling of the other work. The staff at Gutter Shutter was very helpful and worked with me during the changes with no problem.
When the time finally came, I can say the installation went perfectly (mostly because I was at work when it happened. lol). When I did get home the guys were just finishing up packing up their truck. I did a walk around with the installers to make sure their clean up was good and to make sure they did everything they were supposed to.
The majority of my 5 star rating is based on the installation crew. They did an excellent job of cleaning up, the new gutters looked great, everything was straight and done well, and the guys were very courteous during the walk around even though I could tell they were tired and just wanted to go home. Well done Gutter Shutter… definitely give those guys a raise!
So far so good, the gutter looks really good, but the real test was… do they work? With these covered gutters the water is supposed to follow the solid top part and flow into the gutter part. In the back of mind I wasn’t sure that the water would actually wrap around and go inside. I can say without a doubt it works! Thank God! It has rained 3 times since the gutters were installed and the water goes right in. The one time it was raining pretty hard and it was handling it just fine.
If you are considering investing in leaf guard gutters, I recommend checking out Gutter Shutter. I had a very pleasant (no problems) experience with them, the install crew that did my house was great, and their product looks great and works as advertised.

Amazing is all I gota say. The product was by far the best thing Ive seen. I got it for 600 dollars less than what leafgaurd tried charging me and couldnt be happier with the results. They look great and work fantastic. I highly recommend anyone interested in clog free gutters to give them a call
