TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Homeowners in South Portland, Maine reached out looking to get seamless gutters installed. We installed our Gutter Shutter system, which are seamless gutters that have a lifetime warranty to never clog or sag away from the home. Gutter Shutter is available in 12 colors so you can find the perfect shade to complement your home. Water is directed away from the foundation, preventing any water intrusion issues. 

Growing tired of having to climb a ladder more and more or asking a friend to clean their clogged gutters, this South Portland, ME, homeowner was ready for a change. The homeowner called Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Josh Hamel met with the homeowner, and together they designed a Gutter Shutter system that would keep them off the ladder of their 1950’s home.

Gutter Shutter features a seamless design with a gutter guard for added protection, keeping the system clog-free and working all the time. Gutter guards prevent blockages created by a build-up of leaves, twigs, and any other debris that could fall on the homeowner’s roof. Keeping organic material out of the gutter also prevents a number of issues, such as mildew growth, rotting fascia, roof damage, and basement flooding. Gutter Shutter is formed and cut on location to the specific needs of the home. Since the gutters are cut on location, the gutters can be as long or short as necessary without the need to seam two gutters together, creating a unified product that is less susceptible to issues.

The homeowner no longer needs to climb a ladder and is protected with Gutter Shutter installed on their home.

Homeowners in South Portland, Maine wanted to improve the insulation in the crawl space to help with the home's energy efficiency. The old fiberglass insulation was damp and failing, with many pieces falling down to the ground. We installed Spray Foam insulation on the walls of the crawl space to create a thermal boundary. Spray Foam seals out air and moisture, and can get into the nooks and crannies better than fiberglass insulation. It also prevents mold growth, unlike fiberglass insulation which can often be a breeding ground for mold.

For this South Portland, ME, homeowner, their old gutter just wasn’t cutting it anymore. Clogging and growing mildew, the homeowner wanted to take care of the issue and protect their home from expensive repairs caused by bad gutters. Worried about soil erosion and damage to their homes roof or foundation, they called Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Jeff Shuhmacher met with the homeowner and worked with them to choose a Gutter Shutter system that would fit their needs and protect their home. Excited about the benefits of Gutter Shutters clog-free design, the homeowner scheduled an appointment for installation.

First the old gutters were removed from the home, and instead of the homeowner having to worry about disposing of the old gutter, TC Hafford takes on the job of getting rid of them, so the finished job site is left clean. Gutter Shutter features a durable, six-inch aluminum construction that is formed and cut on site, resulting in a seamless gutter that is cut perfectly to the sections of the home that it is attached to. Gutter Shutter comes in many different colors, allowing the homeowner to pick the best match for their home. Once the new gutter is installed, the shutter can be attached to the top. The unique shutter design allows water to easily flow into the gutter without allowing in any debris such as leaves, pine needles, or even small critters. No debris means no clogs, and with Gutter Shutters larger size, more water is able to flow through the gutter, even during the winter months, preventing water from trickling over or icicles forming that could become dangerous. With Gutter Shutter done being installed, the homeowner is happier knowing that their home is more protected than before and they no longer have to worry about their old gutters causing them costly repairs to their home and landscape.
