This year, I decided to bite the bullet and get my 1977 gutters replaced. I thought that continuous gutters would be nice and I found out that Marathon Eavestroughing was the only company in Prince George with the machine to do it. Oh oh! No competition... that's not good.
But their quote was pretty reasonable so I hired them. They gave me an estimate of completion by Christmas but showed up mid-September. The work was very well done and solved a number of problems with the original gutter design.
The work was completed to my satisfaction and then the foreman came to me and said: "I imagine you would like leaf guards, eh?"
I said: "Yes how much would it cost?"
He said: "Well before we get into that, I notice you have a row of fir trees on the west edge of your property so that your roof gets a lot of needles on both front and back. Leaf guards are quite expensive and you may find yourself on the roof cleaning needles off the guards as often as you would be cleaning leaves out of your unguarded gutters... but, if you want them, I would be happy to sell them to you."
Of course, I declined.
What great service!
I am totally impressed.
