During the past two months, we’ve all had a lot of time to think about our family’s safety and how to prioritize it above all else, and we’ve altered our lifestyles for the health and safety of our community.
Being at home has also allowed us to tackle some long-overdue home maintenance. But there’s one area that is often out of reach and dangerous to attempt. Spring is here and it’s time to start thinking about those clogged gutters.
“Many home improvement companies—including roofers, window dealers, and handymen—may sell gutter guards, but they’re often not a permanent solution,” explains Jim Carbone, the owner of the Elyria-based Gutter Cover Company. “The products they offer are typically the screen-style gutter covers you find at big box stores. Unfortunately, these do not accomplish the goal of staying off the ladder. That’s because all screens clog and still need to be cleaned.”
The Gutter Cover Company has been specializing in gutter protection in Northeast Ohio since 1998.
“We employ hard-working, knowledgeable people who take pride in their work,” Jim says. “And we are respectful while we’re at your home.” The company has an impressive track record of satisfied customers, along with an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and many positive Angie’s List and Home Advisor reviews.
“We’ll clean, tighten, re-seal, and properly align your gutters, then install the best gutter cover on the market, Gutter Topper, manufactured right here in Ohio,” Jim says. “It’s a solid aluminum cover that has earned excellent reviews from the top consumer research companies. Gutter Topper can handle heavy downpours up to 22” of rain per hour, 110 m.p.h. winds, and 300 pounds per foot without failing.”
And due to its unique sloped and smooth self-shedding design, not even spinners, pine needles, shingle grit, or seed pods can clog the gutter. It’s available in 14 colors and features a patented “bird block” system.
“We can install Gutter Topper—which features a lifetime, transferable warranty—over your existing gutters if they’re in decent condition,” Jim explains. “If they’re not, we can install new seamless gutters. Either option will have your gutters free flowing forever.”
The Gutter Cover Company also offers Heater Cap, a safe and effective way to prevent the formation of large icicles and ice dams.
Covid-19 Update: Gutter Cover Company is committed not only to providing quality work, but also to safety.
“We’re following the latest CDC guidelines and have implemented special protocols to help ensure the safety and well-being of our customers and employees,” Jim says. “And because our work is performed on the gutters, ours is a no-contact service.”
HERE’S HOW HEATER CAP, FROM GUTTER COVER COMPANY, CAN HEAT YOUR GUTTERS AND MELT THE PROBLEMS AWAY
By Kelli Comer•December 5, 2023
“Our Heater Cap has a proven track record of preventing ice build-up in gutters,” Gutter Cover Company Owner Jim Carbone says. “This product offers options to property owners who may want to heat only specific problem areas of their gutters, not the entire system.”
Heater Cap can be installed with or without Gutter Topper—Gutter Cover Company’s exclusive gutter protection solution—or with most other existing gutter guards.
“We’ve all seen the prehistoric zigzag style of heaters, and they simply don’t work,” Jim laments. “We remove those all the time. Ours is different. It is virtually invisible, concealed behind an aluminum plate and wired directly into the home’s breaker box. Heater Cap is operated by a light switch located inside your home. The heater is safe and emits the perfect amount of heat to melt the ice safely.”
A hands-on business owner who prides himself on a commitment to the community, Jim says now is the time to get on the company’s schedule. “This time of year, as we inch toward the icy and snowy weather, is ideal for Heater Cap installation,” he says. “Upon inspection of your gutters, we can pinpoint the prime areas for the heating units, such as over a doorway or in areas that have a history of water back-up.”
As the company name suggests, Gutter Cover Company also specializes in gutter covers. But you don’t have to hire them to install covers to be able to get the Heater Cap system, as it can work with most existing covers.
“Our solid aluminum Gutter Topper covers are designed with a sloped, solid top, so debris slides off and the only thing that gets into your gutter is what’s supposed to—water,” Jim explains. “Our clients have been impressed with Gutter Topper’s extreme durability, withstanding torrential rain, wind and snow. These products are manufactured right here in Ohio, and are engineered to handle our harsh climate.”
When Jim or somebody from his team comes by to offer an estimate, they’ll be dressed for a casual and informative conversation. “When you call us, you’re not going to speak with somebody from an international call center,” he says.
Gutter Cover Company is celebrating 25 years in business this year. “Our personal relationship with the local community is something that sets us apart from the big vendors,” Jim shares. “In addition to local homes, we have installed Heater Cap on many schools, churches and fire stations in communities throughout Northeast Ohio.”

“Last year, we had an unusually mild winter,” Gutter Cover Company Owner Jim Carbone says. “This often means a hard, snowy winter is coming this year, just like the Farmers’ Almanac is forecasting. With this weather coming not too far in the future, now is the best time to prepare your gutters to combat it.” To save local homeowners the pain of ice issues, Gutter Cover Company offers Heater Cap.
“This product offers options to property owners who may want to heat only certain problem areas of their gutters, not the entire system,” he says. “We can install them with or without Gutter Topper or most existing gutter guards.

It is virtually invisible and is operated by a light switch located inside the home. The heater is safe and emits the perfect amount of heat to stop ice from forming.”
Jim reports that many of his clients install Gutter Topper for leaf protection and add Heater Cap where needed. This can be added at a later date as well.
“It’s an elegant solution to the problem,” he says. “We’re able to take a walk around the house and have a conversation with the homeowner to pinpoint exactly where the heaters are needed for optimum effectiveness. In addition to homes, we have installed Heater Cap on many local churches, schools, office buildings and even fire departments.”
Eliminate Gutter Cleaning Forever Gutter Cover Company is a locally owned business and the skilled team has been installing Gutter Topper for over 25 years.
Gutter Topper is a professional guard system that relies on a solid cover slope design that’s superior to any screened products on the market.
“With a patented design, water flows through, but leaves, nests and organic debris do not,” says Jim. “Our affordable product is extremely durable, made of solid aluminum and can handle any weather Northeast Ohio will throw at it. It is installed directly over existing gutters. Customers tell us the lifetime transferrable performance warranty makes a big difference in their decision to install these guards. We have jobs that were installed in the ’90s that still protect gutters with the same effectiveness as the day they were installed.”
The guards come in a variety of attractive colors to complement any home. New seamless gutters are also available if needed.
Jim has plenty of both products in stock, so give him a call before the snow starts to fall, so you can forget about your gutters and have peace of mind that your home is protected.

By Jim Carbone•February 20, 2023
Many home improvement companies sell gutter guards, but what they offer is often not a permanent solution. Their products are similar to what you find at big box stores. In most cases, their screens and filters still need to be cleaned, which does not accomplish your goal of staying off the ladder.
