LeafGuard- Superior Design and Construction

Fri, 22 Jan 2021 15:02:03 +0000

There’s an old adage that says “In the long run you are usually better
off spending a little more than you expected instead of a little less than
you should have”.
It never fails, when you try to save money by purchasing a cheaper
product it either doesn’t work properly, or doesn’t last as long, and you
end up spending twice or three times the original amount. You also end
up frustrated and angry because the product didn’t do what it
promised.
At Trades by Jack we take this philosophy to heart, and strive to provide
our clientele with only the best products in their class. We want
customers that are happy with our products and service for years to
come not just happy with the price for a little while. That is why we are
proud to represent the LeafGuard system. Through painstaking design,
and considerable attention to detail in the manufacturing process,
LeafGuard provides unparalleled performance and longevity.
Using a principle known as Hydrostatic Adhesion the LeafGuard system
ensures that nothing but rain water gets inside your eavestroughs. In
fact the system is guaranteed for life never to clog thus providing
efficient and reliable management of rain water shed by your roof. The
LeafGuard system also uses a unique installation procedure that allows
it to hold up to 250 pounds without pulling away from your fascia. That
is the equivalent of 8 feet of snow! So you can rest assured that once
the system is installed on your home it is truly maintenance free.

The use of high quality recycled aluminum for the construction of the
system provides far superior durability and longevity. Add to that
installation by our fully trained and highly experienced employees who
display the same attention to detail and customer service, and you have
an unmatched customer experience. Contact us today for a n
obligation presentation of the LeafGuard system’s features and quote
for installation on your home.

In our last post, we highlighted some of our great customers in the town of Innisfil, ON. Today, we’re shifting the spotlight over to the Tri-City area with some reviews from our friends in Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge, ON. This has always been a great location for us as there are many beautiful old homes with lots of trees. Jack, like the most people, loves big beautiful trees but as homeowners we can all agree that what they do to our gutters is not so beautiful at all. Here are some reviews from some of our biggest fans:

From Cecilia on Dover St. in Waterloo, ON:

Dear LeafGuard by Gutter Depot,

You changed the guards in my house. Your job was very good. I had a problem in the porch because the came in and the carpet was wet most of the time. Now it is dry.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Cecilia

Dover St. Waterloo

From Mike in Cambridge:

Dear LeafGuard by Gutter Depot,

What a wonderful feeling standing out in the rain watching the LeafGuard system working perfectly. No more water overflow or running behind the eavestrough. From on I’ll never have to get on the roof again.

Sincerely,

Mike

Another great review from Ross in Waterloo:

Dear LeafGuard by Gutter Depot,

I am very satisfied with the service we received. I found the salesperson to be friendly, knowledgeable and informative. What he promised, he delivered.

The installation was completed within on week after I showed an interest in purchasing LeafGuard.

The installers were very pleasant, worked quickly and cleaned up after the job was completed.

I would certainly recommend LeafGuard to others who may be interested in protecting their eavestrough.

Sincerely,

Ross

The four men that did the job were very nice and did good job I think.

Cleaning Your Gutters Or Eavestrough To Protect Your Home

Mon, 08 Jun 2020 15:09:24 +0000

When it comes to home maintenance, there’s nothing more annoying than the task
of cleaning out your gutters or eavestrough. It’s dirty, it’s arduous, and it can even
be dangerous since you have to do it all while 6 feet up a ladder. However, keeping
your eavestrough clear of debris is vital to protect your roof and home from damage.
But we’ll go over everything you need to know about cleaning your eavestrough and
how Leafguard can help ease the process.

How To Clean Your Eavestrough

The first and most important part of cleaning your eavestrough is to safely position
your ladder against the side of your home. Use a stepladder whenever you can
where the ground is solid and level, and if you have a two-story home, use an extension
ladder, but ensure that it’s securely leaned against your home.
You’ll want to wear gloves to protect your hands and use two buckets: one for the
debris you collect and the other for any tools you use. Start cleaning your eavestrough
near a downspout, clearing larger debris like leaves by hand. For smaller,
compacted debris, you can use a scoop or a trowel to remove it.
Once you’ve cleared the debris, you’ll need to remove and clean downspout
strainers, then, using a garden house, flush out your eavestrough with water,
ensuring that it comes pouring out of the downspout unobstructed.

Having Your Eavestrough Professionally Cleaned

Because cleaning your eavestrough is such a messy and potentially dangerous
process, many people choose to have their eavestrough professionally cleaned. And if
you feel unsafe using tall ladders or you simply don’t want to have to deal with the
arduous process, you can turn to Trades By Jack for eavestrough cleaning.
Also, in addition to cleaning your eavestrough, we’ll closely inspect it to see if there are
any parts that need to be repaired. These include broken pieces, missing parts, any
signs of sagging, and any sections that have started pulling away from your home.
Quickly identifying and repairing your eavestrough allows it to better protect your
home from damage that will result in costly repairs in the future.

Install LeafGuard For Better Protection

If your eavestrough system is old, damaged, or you’re simply tired of constantly
having to clean it out, you can install a new LeafGuard eavestrough protection
system to eliminate the need to clean them. LeafGuard gutters feature a built-in
hood that is guaranteed to keep your eavestrough clog-free. As a result, the one-piece design
allows water to flow in through the front-facing entrance while keeping debris out.
Trades By Jack can install a LeafGuard system for homeowners in Mississauga and
other cities in Ontario and throughout the GTA. Also, if you’re tired of standard gutter
covers that can damage the shingles on your roof, visit our website at
leafguard.ca and contact us today to find out more about how a LeafGuard
system can help protect your home. Then you’ll never again have to worry about cleaning
out a messy eavestrough! Also, you’ll get to meet a friendly Jack of all trades and learn about the many offerings there are at Trades by Jack.
Because Trades by Jack is a multi faceted organization, we can offer you many different ways of making your home safer and more beautiful. As well as keeping our customers off the ladder to clean their gutters, we also keep them off the ladder at Christmas time with our Gemstone Lights. And you can check it all out at leafguard.ca.
