Location: Park Ridge, IL
Renovations: Gutter & Downspout Installation
When this Park Ridge, Illinois homeowner needed new gutters, she called on LeafCo Gutters. In addition to having too-small gutters, facia and soffit were falling off the house in some places. The gutters had also been poorly maintained and weeds were growing in parts of the gutter system. Replacing the gutters was a first step in her plans to upgrade the appearance and functionality of her home.Â
Addressing Issues Built Up Over Time
The renovation plans include rerouting the downspouts to make room for an electric charging unit for her car. In addition, she wanted the appearance of the gutters updated from white to something that would match her future renovations. She planned to paint the brick, install new windows, and replace the front entry door and garage door.
The homeowner chose to work with LeafCo Gutters because of the suggestions and solutions provided to answer her problems. She liked that LeafCo Gutters was easy to work with and responded to her questions promptly.
Creating a Custom Plan for an Exterior Transformation and Functionality Improvements
We recommended bigger gutters that were more sensible for the size of the home and roof. Along with replacing the falling soffit and fascia with new aluminum products from Mastic, the plan included leaf guards from Klean Gutter to prevent clogging and improve performance and maintenance.Â
Instead of sticking with the original white color, our salesperson recommended choosing black materials to complement the planned exterior renovations. These options aligned with her vision which included a new plan for redirecting the downspouts to accommodate the car charging unit.
Along the way, our installer noticed that the lights in the soffit were not the correct type of light. We let the homeowner know and offered to install the proper can lights to improve the aesthetics. She agreed, and we added that to the overall project scope, along with installing black trim to match the new black garage door.
A New, Sleek Look—Without the Weeds
The result? A happy homeowner with a beautiful new gutter system. She was thrilled with the quality of work and communication from LeafCo Gutters throughout the process. The old, dirty soffits and fascia are gone, and instead, she has sleek black gutters that fit just right and no longer house growing weeds.
