Considering adding a retractable awning, shading systems, gutter protection, or new roofing to your home?
Here are some of the frequently asked questions we receive from people.
Gutter Helmet®
Installation costs for Gutter Helmet® gutter protectors depend on a number of factors, including home size, condition of your existing gutters systems, roof condition, and the number of corners on the house. Contact Midwest Eclipse for a free quote!
Our certified Gutter Helmet® installers are trained to do the job right. Homeowners who try to save money by doing the job themselves often find it ends up costing them more when gutter covers are poorly installed and there is potential water damage.
Gutter Helmet® is guaranteed for life. Our transferable lifetime guarantee applies to all products, parts, and workmanship. When you have Gutter Helmet® installed on your home, you never have to worry about cleaning your gutters again!
Gutter Helmet is a patented gutter protection system designed to be installed right over your existing gutters. It keeps leaves, pine needles and other debris out of your gutters while allowing rainwater to flow freely.
Gutter Helmet® is designed to handle 22 inches of rain per hour, more than twice the amount that has ever been recorded in the continental United States.
The key to minimizing ice dams is to keep the roof surface from getting too warm with proper attic insulation and ventilation. The other solutions are installing Gutter Helmet® and Helmet Heat®. Gutter Helmet® will keep your gutters clear of obstructions so snow melts and flows away from the roof and home rather than allowing it to back up and freeze. Helmet Heat cable can be installed under Gutter Helmet® gutter covers and helps to melt the snow and ice before there is any build up.
