Are your gutters strong enough for two grown men to hang off them?

It may seem like a silly question, but as we face over four months of ice and snow build up, it’s important to know if your gutters can stand up to the weight.

Larry Platt, owner of the Market Basket in Rockport, was facing a serious problem with his plastic gutter system which was dripping on his customers as they walked in. He asked Peter Horch of Horch Roofing what he would recommend to alleviate the problem. “Seamless Aluminum gutters with a strong leaf guard is the best solution, hands down,” said Horch, “the leaf guard also acts as a hanger that is amazingly strong!” Platt liked the recommendation, but was concerned about form in addition to function, and wanted to achieve the right look for his storefront. That’s where North Atlantic Painting came in. Owner Peter Berke worked with the client to create just the subtle look he sought. And, to prove his point about the strength of the gutters, Horch and Berke hung off them after they were installed. “I couldn’t be happier with the end result”, said Platt.
