Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need gutters?
We recommend gutters for almost any home in North Texas. Gutters protect the structure as well as its occupants, by protecting flowerbeds, masonry, foundation and more. Rainwater splashing up onto porous masonry work can cause discoloration from mud, mold, and mildew that may be impossible to remove. But most importantly, North Texas soil contains clay, which is expansive in nature, and where consistency is key. Inconsistent moisture levels in the soil around the foundation of your home could cause movement that may lead to more costly repairs to walls, slab, plumbing and more.
Okay, so I need gutters; what do I do?
Contact us using the phone number at the top of this page, or fill out our simple contact form. We will coordinate a convenient time for you to meet with a knowledgeable representative who can discuss your needs, professionally design a guttering system tailored for your home, give you an accurate proposal for the work, and answer any questions you may have, all at no cost or obligation.
How much do gutters cost?
The cost of a specific project is influenced by several factors such as best method of installation, accessibility, and size and type of gutter required. For an accurate assessment, contact us to schedule a free, no obligation meeting with one of our knowlegeable customer service representatives. In most cases, you can help protect your home for less than 1% of cost of construction, a fraction of the costs associated with repairing damage that can occur, at once or over a long period of time, sometimes remaining unnoticed until the problem becomes serious.
What do you mean by "seamless" gutters?
We purchase rolls of flat sheet aluminum, pre-painted in a wide selection of colors, and custom form each piece of gutter to virtually any length right on the job site. The pieces are jointed only at the corners using color-matching rivets for a clean, "seamless" appearance with no opportunity for leaks. Other products available at your local hardware store come in 10 foot lengths of an inferior material and require unsightly seams that increase the potential for leaks and maintenance.
Do you have "maintenace-free" gutters?
No. No one offers truly maintenance-free gutters, despite all of the claims. Independent of the products, soil, aggregate from roofing materials and other biological matter are inevitably deposited in the bottom of the gutter and will build up over time. We have many choices of gutter protection available to greatly reduce the frequency of maintenance to your gutters.
Gutters are just gutters, right?
Simply put, no. Although we all begin with comparable materials, installation methods vary widely from company to company. At Aqua-Duck Seamless Gutters, we believe in going above and beyond to ensure we are offering the highest quality products and services available in our area. We have invested heavily in our ability to offer products and services not provided by other local companies. Also, numerous innovations have been made recently regarding seamless gutters and associated products. A variety of gutter and downspout profiles are now available in various sizes. Even leaf guard options have increased to over 20 products of differing styles. For more information, review our product information page, or for the latest offerings, contact us today.
How long will it take to install my gutters?
The actual installation process can be completed in a single day on most houses. We are currently experiencing a backlog of 1 week from the time you commit. When possible, you can avoid unnecessary down-time by scheduling your no obligation, free estimate in advance.
How do I pay?
Our flexible range of payment options includes cash, check, credit or debit cards. We may also consider the option to extend easy payment terms for qualifying homeowners.
Do you have references?
Yes. We have produced many high-quality projects yielding scores of satisfied customers who, on their own volition, have offered to share their experiences with our organization. Meetings with existing clients are available by appointment. Also, for most of our growing history, we have held the distinction of being an accredited business with the Fort Worth, Texas chapter of the Better Business Bureau.
