Where is Perry the Platypus?

Oh the places he has seen!  Our sales department is hopping, and Perry has traveled many places since we adopted him as our “Top Sales” Mascot!

He is about ready to waddle to Geraldine’s desk, who is “tops” in many categories!  She is about to move into a new office, and her well-placed confidence is clear on that sign behind her, claiming that office as the future home of our web-footed friend!  Geraldine’s designer tee shirt is a tribute to her success as well!

Thank you Geraldine, we appreciate you, and Perry the Platypus is heading your way!

How long will our Platypus hang out there?  Stay tuned…

On a serious note, don’t forget that hurricane season is just around the corner.  Let us know if you need help with “battening down your pool enclosure” or replacing your windows to hurricane strength!

Gutters Continued…

Choosing the Right Company

All kidding aside on the gutter topic, hiring the cheap guy to install your rain gutters might seem like the right idea at the time, but there is much more to gutter materials, sizing, and design than meets the eye. 

Our goal is to protect your home with a customized and attractive solution.
There is technical information ahead, but it’s actually pretty interesting reading!  Did I just say that?
Seamless Gutter, it’s all About the Customization

CommercialResidential Aluminum customizes lengths of gutters for your home so there are no seams to piece together.  These seamless gutters eliminate leakage and create a nicer look. 

Commercial Residential Aluminum does not use pre-made corners, because all houses are different.  We measure each project and make our own miters. 
When we design your system, we strategically place splashguards to ensure ultimate protection. 

Gutters are available in many colors to blend and accent the look of your home.

Superior Materials for your Seamless Gutters
ASK about your materials!  Our 032 gutter coil is a heavier material less likely to corrode, develop holes, or become warped with hot and cold weather.  Our 7” versus 5” gutter accommodates more water flow, allows for additional roof overhang, and our larger downspouts also allow more water flow and debris to come through.  Our pop rivets look nicer than the screws that many companies use.  They are round and shorter and leaves don’t tend to catch on them inside the downspout.

We don’t use gutter spikes that are hammered into your fascia board, which can pitch your gutter back to your house, causing water to pool, resulting in rotten wood and termites.  We use hidden fasteners which snap into the face of the gutter from the inside and screw through the drip edge,  creating a clean hole, a correctly angled gutter, and a nice look.

Well, you now know as much about gutter as I do.  If you are in need of new seamless gutters, or gutter repair, please visit our website, www.CRAluminum.com, or call us at 941-486-9104 for a free estimate!
