Gutters have been around since the early times. The Romans used aqueduct systems that included gutters and brought the idea to Great Britain in 47 AD. It was only in the 20th century that metal gutters came around. One of the most popular styles today is the open gutter.

Features of Open Gutters

Open gutters in Salem are made of aluminum, which resists wear and tear. This affordable option also lasts longer compared to other materials. You can get open gutters in either 5- or 6-inch–wide size. There is also a wide range of finishes available for this gutter type.

Open gutters are ideal for homes free of too many leaves or debris. An effective system will collect rainwater from the roof, which will then flow down to downspouts. This way, exterior components and your home’s foundation are safe from water damage. Due to their wide opening, these gutters are also easy to clean and maintain.

Quality Open Gutters

A&A Services offers quality gutters Salem homeowners love because we use only the best materials from the leading manufacturers in the industry. We will design a unique gutter system for your home based on your roof’s age, shape, and size. You can depend on us when it comes to gutter repair or installation.

When you work with A&A Services, expect:

● Professional installation

● Use of the best materials from the top manufacturers in the industry

● Trained and qualified installers

● Respect

● Quick response to calls regarding product warranties

For homes with nearby trees, we recommend our clog-free gutter system. This comes with a specially designed hood that allows water to flow inside the gutters while debris falls onto the edge. Some of its features include a five-point mounting system, nylon brackets, and end caps. We install this under the drip edge to catch water and debris effectively. Like our open gutters, this system also comes in several color choices to match your roof or any exterior component.

If you want to learn more about our gutter options, schedule a free consultation today. You can reach us at (978) 295-7088 or through our contact form.

A & A Services installed new sliding doors and removed the old ones. I am so pleased with their professionalism, knowledge, and friendly manner.

I chose A&A Services for a roof replacement. Rick came out to provide the initial estimate and from then on guided me through the whole process. He was great to work with. No pressure at any time and I was notified every step of the way. No surprises. Aurel and the roofing crew were great too! My roof looks beautiful and more importantly, my house is dry inside! Highly recommend!!

A&A did a very nice job at my house replacing the gutters and downspouts and the main roof and many smaller ones and also the garage roof. They came on time, did a professional job and cleaned up nice when the project was complete. I would definitely use them again.
