Commonly Asked Questions about Huff ‘N Puff Gutter Installation
Below is a list of some questions we’re frequently asked about gutters and our gutter installation process. Huff ‘N Puff welcomes your inquiry about our products and services.
Q: What material are your gutters made from?
A: Huff ‘N Puff gutters are made from aluminum, the most functional and practical gutter material manufactured today. Steel gutters are strong but prone to rust. Copper is not feasible for most residential installations due to its high cost. The heavy-gauge aluminum we use is lightweight, will not rust, and will stand up to hail and dings just as well as steel.
Q: Are your gutters seamless?
A: Yes, we install seamless gutters exclusively. PVC and plastic gutter sections sold at home improvement stores must be joined every 10 feet and are prone to leak at each seam. Our gutters are formed on-site from a single piece of metal for uninterrupted water flow without leaks across the entire length of your roofline.
Q: How do you hang your gutters?
A: We utilize hidden hangers, so your gutters have a clean appearance and will not sag. With the traditional spike-and-ferrule method, you will see the nail that is driven through the front of the gutter. In addition, the nail will eventually back out over time, causing gutters to sag.
Q: What is the SnapLock® gutter attachment system?
A: Another option for hanging gutters is the SnapLock® gutter attachment system. SnapLock® utilizes a special truss and bracket that attaches your gutters to your roof without penetrating the fascia board – no spikes or nails. The gutters can handle more weight while “floating” in place. Because moisture cannot penetrate the watertight seal at the edge of the roof, SnapLock® eliminates water damage that leads to rust, rot, mold and falling gutters.
Q: Can you match my gutters to my trim?
A: Yes, Huff ‘N Puff offers a wide selection of colors to choose from.
Q: How long will it take to install gutters?
A: Most installations can be completed in just a few hours.
Q: Do your gutters include warranty coverage?
A: Yes, a Huff ‘N Puff gutter installation offers double warranty protection, covering both materials and labor.
