Gutters play a vital role in a building’s integrity, and gutter covers are essential for preserving their performance and longevity. While you can always install separate gutter covers for your existing gutter setup, Gutter Solutions Tri-State proudly offers an all-in-one solution. The GutterShutter System’s design includes a gutter with a built-in cover, providing the best benefits of both mechanisms.

The steeper the roof, the better GutterShutter performs! Roofs become less effective at catching water as they steepen. A flat roof catches all the rain, but tilting it reduces the surface area for water and increases the total amount for the gutter to handle. The steeper the roof, the faster the water flows. Fortunately, our Cincinnati-based gutter installation contractors found that water speed has no effect on GutterShutter’s performance.
GutterShutter’s system is designed and tested to handle the heaviest rainfalls. Both the 5” and 6” hoods feature exclusive flow reducers that slow the water from the roof. However, it’s the principle of surface tension that keeps the water flowing into the gutter. Surface tension remains unaffected by the amount or speed of flowing water, so even in the heaviest rainfalls, GutterShutter works smoothly.
When it comes to covered gutters, one-piece designs simply don’t make sense. The top and bottom are made in one piece, so if either part gets damaged, both need replacement. Also, the non-removable top makes cleaning or servicing the gutter very challenging.
State-of-the-art integrated gutter systems now use a two-piece technology. The top is a separate piece, allowing for replacement without changing the seamless gutter trough. While some types use a snap-on hood susceptible to wind damage, GutterShutter’s two-piece design secures the separate hood to the bracket and trough using our patented end caps. The secured hood is very strong, preventing wind detachment and still allowing easy access if service is needed.
It’s more likely, over time, that your old gutters will cost as much as 10 times their value in home repairs due to poor design. It simply doesn’t make sense to keep them! Companies selling products that rely on using your old gutters want you to believe that you’re going to save a lot of money through a lower initial cost. The truth is, you can install a complete GutterShutter system for a similar cost, then rely on our lifetime guarantee to ensure they stay in great shape!
The GutterShutter system is made with 0.032 thick aluminum—the thickest aluminum used for residential application. Placing a ladder or other similar device against the GutterShutter system is not a problem.
Our Cincinnati based gutter installation contractors attach GutterShutter directly to the fascia board, in no way interfering with the roof.
