While recent snowstorms and bitterly cold temps might have been a wakeup call that winter still exists—it’s even worse for ice formation.


“People are prisoners of the moment, and I think homeowners were kidding themselves heading into winter,” says Gutter Cover Company Owner Jim Carbone. “This is the most severe gutter damage we’ve seen in the past decade. When icicles and ice dams melt, depending on the location and how severe they are, the water has no way of draining into the gutters. It can leak into the ceilings, walls, and windows, causing expensive damage.”


Targeting your problem areas with a gutter heating system can help eliminate that. Enter Heater Cap. It safely heats the gutters, downspouts and roof edge, which protects the buildup in gutters from ice. It can be installed with Gutter Topper, on existing open gutters, and it can even be installed on many existing gutter guards, just heating the areas in need.


“Virtually invisible, Heater Cap is concealed behind an aluminum plate and wired directly into a home’s breaker box,” he explains. “It’s operated by a light switch in your home. The perfect amount of heat is emitted to melt ice and your gutters and downspouts will flow freely all year long.”


His full-service company also offers Gutter Topper, a gutter protection solution made from durable solid aluminum. It keeps leaves and debris out of your gutters while allowing water to flow freely through.

As specialists in the gutter business since 1998, Jim and his crews have focused on advanced products that are made in Ohio. 


“With so many homeowners calling to get on our schedule, I recommend people call soon,” he says.
