  1. Protect Your Foundation

    Gutters collect rainwater and melting snow from your roof and direct it away from your home's foundation. Without them, water can pool around the base of the house, risking of foundation cracks, basement leaks, and settling.

  2. Prevent Ice-Related Damage

    When heavy Buffalo snow melts on warmer days, it flows into gutters. Well-functioning gutters and downspouts help move that water away before it can refreeze near the home, reducing the risk of ice buildup around the foundation and walkways.

  3. Reduce Roof and Fascia Damage

    Overflowing or clogged gutters can allow water to back up under roof shingles or soak the fascia boards, leading to wood rot, mold growth, and costly repairs.

  4. Protect Siding and Exterior Finishes

    When water cascades off the roof instead of through gutters, it can stain siding, damage paint, erode brick mortar, and accelerate wear on exterior materials.

  5. Prevent Landscape Erosion

    Concentrated runoff can wash away mulch, soil, and plants around your home. Downspouts that discharge water several feet from the foundation help preserve landscaping.

  6. Reduce Basement Moisture

    Many Buffalo homes have basements. Keeping roof runoff away from the foundation lowers the chance of water seeping into basement walls or floors.

  7. Improve Winter Safety

    Directing meltwater away from entrances and sidewalks can reduce the formation of slippery ice patches around your home.

Introducing All-In-One Gutter Systems

Highland Contractors takes pride in being a Alu Rex Gutter Expert by PlyGem. Explore the most advanced technology in the gutter market with the Alu Rex DoublePro. This innovative system features a dual-layer microfiltration continuous hanger, delivering optimal drainage and superior debris filtration. The Alu Rex DoublePro ensures that only fine dust particles, pollen, and rainwater pass through while providing additional support along the entire length of the gutter.

Experience the benefits of the Alu Rex Continuous Hanger, another remarkable product in gutter technology. Unlike traditional hanging systems, this continuous fastener offers consistent strength along the entire gutter length, preventing warping or tearing caused by heavy snow and ice. It also provides effective protection against leaves, samaras (helicopters), tennis balls, and other objects that can clog your gutters.

DoublePro® Benefits

Small Debris

Alu-Rex pioneered the use of dual-layer aluminum membranes in gutter guards. The second layer blocks fine debris like pine needles while still allowing water to flow through. This technology ensures clog-free performance and is backed by a lifetime warranty, even in heavily treed areas, with minimal maintenance required.

Sturdiness

The DoublePro continuous hanger system is built for exceptional strength and durability, providing uniform support along the entire length of the gutter with no weak points. Its innovative design can withstand the weight of snow, ice, and even ladders, preventing snow from entering the gutter and eliminating damage caused by freezing and thawing. Engineered to support up to 425 lb (193 kg) per linear foot - enough to hold the weight of three people - it comes with a lifetime warranty on sturdiness.

Snow

Designed to withstand harsh winter conditions, the system keeps snow and ice on top of the gutter guard, preventing them from entering the gutter itself. This helps protect against damage caused by the expansion and contraction that occurs during freeze-thaw cycles. Made from materials that won’t rust or warp, it ensures your gutters continue to drain properly during rain or warmer weather.
