Guttering Systems & Gutter Covers: Route Water Away From Your Home!
In the long line of home exterior improvements, gutters and downspouts are not usually considered an exciting purchase. However, they serve one of the most important functions for your home—and in this regard remember that quality materials, design and expert installation are important.
Properly working gutters and downspouts direct rainwater away from your home’s foundation (think damp or flooded basements and crawlspaces). They keep moisture away from your home’s above grade walls (think rot). They also help prevent soil erosion around your home’s perimeter.
At SGC Exteriors, designing customized guttering systems is what we’ve built our business on! We take pride in providing you with the careful assessment of your home based on its individual structure, roofline and landscape topography.
We also use only top quality gutters, made with premium-grade aluminum alloy and from proven manufacturers. Our gutters are hand rolled by experienced craftsmen from a heavy-duty .032 thickness to add value and long life to your installation. High performance and permanent sealants are also used on all miters, outlet cups and end caps. Functional benefits aside, gutters can also lend architectural detail to your home. In addition to traditional white, a wide-ranging palette of colors allows you to accent your exterior in new and appealing ways. It’s one more little detail SGC Exteriors helps you discover to bring out your home’s true personality!

Take Gutter Cleaning Off Your ‘To Do’ List—And You Off Your Ladder!
At SGC Exteriors, we want you to enjoy life with products that help you save time, money and keep you safer. By installing gutter cover, you can increase your guttering system’s performance while taking the dangerous job of gutter cleaning off your “to do” list, and gain precious time for the important things in life.
Decades of experience have given SGC Exteriors the expertise to address your home’s gutter performance challenges. We offer two gutter cover options that will align with your budget and environmental needs—both offer a “filtering” approach to best handle a multitude of debris.
For the finishing touch to your guttering system, Reliant Gutter Cover delivers top-of-the-line protection performance. It allows the gutter to function as you would expect by separating the clogging debris from water, allowing the water to be distributed away from your home’s structure and foundation.
The low-profile Reliant Gutter Cover is formed from galvanized steel and receives an electroplated carbon-based powder coat of rust inhibitor to provide outstanding protection against all of nature’s debris. This cover is the decorators’ choice as it gives you the flexibility to match the color of your home’s roof or guttering system.
Reliant™ Gutter Covers:

- Fine mesh “filter” actively separates any sized debris from rain water.
- Maintain shape in all weather conditions with high-tempered steel construction.

These “screen” gutter covers are everything their name implies: easy maintenance, easy installation and easy on the budget! They offer a simple solution against leaves, sticks and other clogging agents.
E-Z Step Down™ Gutter Screen Cover features:
- Contoured and low profile spring-tension design fits any sized gutter. Spring tension fit also resists dislodging from severe weather.
