Though the dead of winter is when homeowners go into hibernation mode when it comes to exterior home maintenance, thanks to the snowstorms and freeze-thaw-refreeze cycle Northeast Ohio has experienced since Thanksgiving, now might be an opportune time to consider the state of your gutters and roofline.


“After a snowfall, seeing temps fluctuate from the 40s one day to the 20s the next can cause ice dams, which lead to tremendous damage to you home,” says Jim Carbone, owner of Gutter Cover Company. “Trapped moisture from ice dams finds its way into your roofline, and often ends up entering the ceilings and walls, damaging everything in its path.We offer an innovative product called Heater Cap to prevent ice buildup in winter and early spring and keep gutters operating at peak performance, while protecting your home during the brutal winters.”


With advanced materials and a safe design (so safe that the company has even installed it on multiple local churches, schools and a fire department), the Heater Cap is concealed behind an aluminum plate and wired directly into your home’s breaker box. Operated via a light switch in your home, it emits just the right amount of heat to melt ice, and your gutters and downspouts will flow freely all year long. 


“Made in the USA, these products effectively increase the longevity of your gutters and safeguard your property from water damage by maintaining proper water flow through the system,” Jim says.


Heading into spring, Jim and his crews also install solid aluminum Gutter Toppers over existing gutters to protect them from leaves, debris and pests while allowing water to flow through the system. 


Gutter Cover Company has been protecting area homes for more than 27 years with the Heater Cap and Gutter Topper systems. The company has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau along with an impressive track record of satisfied clients.



Gutter Cover Company’s trusted solutions can give you the peace of mind to go back to hibernating.
