So, you want to know more about your gutter system. Here is a quick guide about your gutters. You may notice a leak, or damage to a part on your gutters. This quick guide allows you to inform us of the issue, and have someone access the issue accurately. Each new gutter system by Marshall is custom built for your home. We offer experienced estimators, precise measurements, and exceptional products. Below is an explanation of each part of your gutters.

Rake Board: A rake board is an eave which runs along the gable end of the roof of a modern residential structure. It is a place on your home easily visible to guests of your home. Rotten and damaged boards should be replaced to improve the look and extend the life of your roof. 

Frieze Board: A frieze board is a horizontal board between 2 inches and 6 inches wide.

Fascia: Fascia is a vertical frieze board. 

Soffit: A soffit connects the overhang under your guttering system with your home. Soffits protect against mold and rotting wood work. 

Gutters:  A gutter is a shallow trough fixed beneath the edge of a roof for carrying off rainwater. Maintaining your gutters will extend the life of your roof.

Downspouts: Downspouts are pipes that carry rainwater from a roof to a drain or to ground level.

Gutter Screens/Protection: Gutter screens and gutter protection systems protect your gutters from debris and leaves by preventing them from clogs. 

Gutter Protection

We have two forms of gutter protection.

Gutter Screens help prevent debris from clogging the guttering. 

Gutter protection by GutterTopper is a system that allows rain water to flow smoothly through your gutter system.

How To Clean Vinyl Siding Check out our Partner’s Blog and learn how to effectively clean your siding. Here are some problem areas, and cleaning solutions.  Dirt, grime, soot and chalk. For general dirtiness all you’ll need is a bucket of soapy water – dish soap or common laundry detergent work well, a soft bristle brush and a garden hose. Apply the soapy mixture by hand and thoroughly rinse the siding with clean water from the garden hose. Avoid prolonged or high pressure rinsing of open ventilated areas and keep cleaning solution off surrounding fixtures and surfaces not scheduled for washing.  NOTE:  We do not recommend power washing vinyl or polymer siding as it can cause moisture intrusion, damage, and/or discoloration.  Instead, we suggest using a house wash that connects to your hose.  This is the simplest and most effective way to clean stubborn siding stains. A small amount of soapy water shouldn’t affect plants or shrubbery, but if you are concerned about plantings close to the house select a soap product without added perfumes, dyes or moisturizers. Before using, test a small amount of the solution on the plant and wait a few days to see if there are any effects. Stains. Occasionally siding will incur a stubborn stain, like algae build up, that does not come off with standard household detergents. In these cases it is best to request a cleaner directly from your siding contractor. They will be able to provide you with products designed to work with the siding at hand but even still, always test a small amount in an inconspicuous location. Mildew. Vinyl siding is mold and mildew resistant.  However if the siding is dirty, mildew could grow on the dirty coating especially in warmer climates with consistently high humidity.  Mildew appears as black spots on surface dirt and is usually detected in areas not subjected to rainfall, such as under eaves and porch enclosures.  To remove mix together: 1/3 cup of detergent (Tide, for example), 2/3 cup of Trisodium (SoilMax, for example), one quart of 5% Sodium Hypochlorite (Clorox bleach, for example) and three quarts of water. (Caution: Greater concentrations may cause damage to vinyl siding.) If this solution does not easily remove the mildew, you can request a mildew-specific cleaner from your contractor or local building materials retailer.
