North Carolina has had a cold winter and so far 2014 has been very cold. We sure are ready for spring.

Gutters lacking a gutter guard should be cleaned out multiple times each year. Some people only clean them once a year. All too often people wait until spring to clean their gutters. Spring is a great time to do spring cleaning but gutters need to be clean during cold temperatures, especially when the temperature dips below freezing.

If leaves, twigs, or other debris clog gutters, snow and water will build up inside of the gutter. We all know what happens when water freezes: it expands! When water expands in your gutter system it stresses the metal (or plastic) and can crack it open.

Gutterglove gutter guards not only prevent debris from building up in your gutter- you’ll never have to clean them again with one of our systems. This also keeps water from accumulating in the gutter and prevents gutter damage from snow and ice.

Gutter Glove of North Carolina is proud to offer a product that is strong enough to withstand the weight of ice. Properly installed, it is the same pitch as the roof and allows for snow and ice to slide right over it.
