Installation Advantages and True Cost of Maintenance.

Installing Gutter Protection by Window Genie does not detract from the beauty of your home or damage your home in any way. With a "V-groove" design to allow for water flow inside the gutter, the filter fills the entire top area of your current gutters and is not visible from the ground. If you choose one of our "sloped" versions, the filter may become visible. Our installation requires NO screws, nails or brackets!

• Most gutter protection installers use screws, nails or pop rivets to hold their devices in place.
• Other gutter protection systems are typically installed above the gutter making them visible from the ground and can be shifted or blown off by the wind.
• Many gutter protection systems are required to slide under the shingles and possibly nailed or screwed down. Lifting shingles damages the wind seal tabs of your roofing, which can void your roofing warranty.

Gutter Protection by Window Genie is form fitted to your gutter and presses against 3 of the 4 sides of your gutters. The 4th side, which is the inside of the front, is unobstructed to allow for water flow. The wind cannot blow it out -- EVER.

• The top of filter is flush with the top of your gutter.
• It does not modify the appearance of your home or business in any way.
• Many gutter solutions are visible from the street, and really do not look very good once installed.

Since our system is NOT inserted under your shingles, it can't cause damage to your roof. It is the preferred solution of some of the best roofing contractors in the country. Do you really want a gutter protection system that is nailed into your roof and screwed or pop riveted to the front of your gutter, eliminating access to your gutter?

When it comes time to clean the gutters, most gutter cleaning companies may refuse to clean your gutters with certain gutter protection systems mounted to them, because they are too difficult to clean. If they are able, it is often times at a premium. Don't get stuck with this common problem; systems that are expensive to install and now even more expensive when they do need to be cleaned.

If anyone tells you that their system is MAINTENANCE FREE, beware. Window Genie has been cleaning gutters since 1994, and we have seen every type of system on the market. We can assure you that no matter what the other "gutter guys" might say, we have cleaned them all out at one time or another. This means that ALL systems have some level of maintenance, including ours.

Since we will be cleaning your gutters prior to installation, you will not have to ever get up on a ladder or pay someone to "clean out" your gutters. Once our Gutter Protection system is installed in a "clean" gutter, they will stay that way. No screens to come loose, no unblocked areas to allow for leaves to enter. The "pores" or "cells" in our system are also designed to be small enough to block debris, yet large enough to allow your shingle "grit", which over time works its way out of the shingle and down to the gutters, to pass through.

• The need for regular cleaning goes away and so does your risk of injury with our system.
• Most homeowners clean their gutters 2-4 times per year at an average cost per cleaning of $75 to $125. That's $1,500 to $5,000 over a ten year period! What's even worse, this cost doesn't even guarantee that you will be free from problems.
• Aside from dollar costs, some of the other "costs" include the risk of injury and associated liability, damage to your gutters and roof due to inexperienced technicians and trampled, uprooted landscaping.

It is a FACT, that our system, like ALL others, can require some level of maintenance. The key is, this maintenance is no longer physically removing the potentially damaging debris from all of your gutters. In general, most of the debris that can tend to collect on various areas of your gutters, will dry out and blow away over a short period of time. There can also be areas that are not exposed to the wind, etc, that can accumulate debris that does not blow off completely. This scenario is true of ALL protection systems on the market. This might be their dirty little secret that they fail to tell you, but again, our years of experience cleaning gutters has shown that ALL systems will require a certain level of maintenance.

For example, there is NO system in the market that will stop or prevent leaves from building up along certain valleys of your roof during the fall when leaf accumulation is the heaviest. The choice is to either leave them, wait for them to blow off or use a service company to come blow them off. But again, the key is that prior to the installation of Gutter Protection by Window Genie, all of these leaves were winding up in YOUR gutters, requiring their removal OR worse, remaining in them during the winter months which can lead to even greater damage.

• Window Genie can offer a separate maintenance program for you based on your needs.
• By using our ongoing window cleaning services, we can in many cased offer you a no-cost program that coincides with your regularly scheduled cleaning.
• NO OTHER company can offer this built-in service program.
