Valor Gutter Guards from The Gutter Boys keep your gutters clog free
By Patricia Nugent
Merriam-Webster defines the word “proactive” as “acting in anticipation of future problems, needs, or changes.” The been-there, done-that crew over at The Gutter Boys says this word also applies perfectly to gutter cleaning and gutter guarding.
“The rain will always fall, and waiting until we get three inches of rain and you notice your gutters are completely clogged to give us a call is not a wise idea,” says Ken Wilson, who, for the past 17 years, along with Anthony Alberino, has operated The Gutter Boys.
“Acting proactively—rather than reactively—will save you a lot of money in the long run. By the time you see little trees sprouting from your gutters, this could be the tip of the iceberg in terms of the problems going on deep down in your system.”
Never Worry About Your Gutters Again
Installing gutter guards is the best proactive approach to fostering a healthy, maintenance-free gutter system. Ken and Anthony are familiar with every type of guard on the market. After doing exhaustive research, they chose to work with Valor gutter guards.
“Having us install guards is like an insurance policy for never worrying about debris getting in your gutters again,” says Anthony.
Part of realizing how the Valor guard, which is exclusive to the Gutter Boys in Northeast Ohio, is different from the rest comes with understanding how guards work.
“The optimal function is to create the just-right balance of letting all the water enter your gutter system and run through it, while keeping out leaves, debris and pests,” he says.
“Most guard systems fail in these two areas: 1. It doesn’t accept high amounts of water flow. 2. It allows debris to enter your gutters.”
He says Valor guards are the most technologically advanced on the market because of their advanced micro-mesh and patented S-curve design that withstands even the heaviest rainfall.
“In a study by the independent NCR Consumer Advocacy Group, this guard ranked number one in every category, from Industry Reputation to Effective Protection Coefficient,” says Anthony.
And better yet, the made-in-America guard comes with a lifetime, fully transferable warranty.
Always Taking the High Road
As a locally-owned and family-operated company, the Gutter Boys have set the standard of professionalism sky high. Crafting a customer experience that is second to none is a mission they take pride in.
They take the time to educate their 10,000-plus customers about any job they do.
“Our relationship with the client begins with that initial phone call, which is answered by a friendly, knowledgeable person who assesses the job and sets up the appointment,” says Ken. “There are no high pressure sales pitches or gimmicks.”
A professional team of gutter cleaners and certified master guard installers arrives at clients’ homes wearing uniforms and driving branded box trucks.
“Our team is well-trained and seasoned,” he says. “After every job, we make sure the customer is pleased with the service. And since we are always looking for input on how we can perform better, one of our guys follows up with a phone call.”
