"The sales rep did a great job of ensuring operations went smoothly. Both the roof and gutters came out wonderful & I'm proud to be the first owner of Timbersteel through this company.

"Initial rep was great and informative. Felt comfortable with initial sale. Hardly had any contact from customer service except for the payments. There were several delays that we were not informed about unless we called to ask. Took 7 months before they showed up to begin project. Only 1 person was sent to build steps. Took a week. Hard worked, hardly took a break. Had to call again to see when they would come to pour patio. Never knew when they were coming, they just showed up. Hardly spoke with the homeowners. Inspection paperwork was just left on porch. Additional paperwork that is "required by the County" had to be completed by homeowner and taken to Court house to be notarized and filed and also provide a copy back to Long Fence. Time sensitive materials which added to homeowners to-do list. Gave this contract to LF on the surface of their history and appearance of a 'good local company' but should have stayed with original contactors in VA. Puddle of water forms when it rains"

"P. J. McTavish & Co. from Burtonsville, MD was hired to replace and repair a very old damaged roof on my Rancher Home, which has a few additions in the rear. These additions have many peaks, valleys and an area of flat roof. We had many other companies look at it and some didn’t even want to take on the job, and if they did it was for a price I could not afford. I had officially given up hope. This truly was not an easy job to partake in. Hiring P.J. McTavish & Co. was truly the best decision. Mr. Pat was caring and truthful about the horrible shape my roof was in. I knew he was being truly honest, cause I heard from other contractors the same problems. But he assured us his team would do the job as efficiently as possible. Each and everyone on his team were respectful, efficient, and professional. I was so impressed with how his team worked so closely together and seemed to take a lot of respect in their work, and our home and yard…which let’s be honest…you do not see that much in today’s world. Pat kept us well informed of all the progress. There are not enough “Thank You’s” I can give to this whole team of wonderful men. Everyone stayed steadily busy and worked very hard. Mr. “Pat” McTavish must be so proud of his employees. Happy employees show good management. My hat is off to you Pat and your team! The work was supreme and done extremely well. I can actually say I can now sleep well at night knowing my roof is not going to collapse,,,Yes….it was that bad…I feel like I have a whole new home! Theresa Brashears Edgewater, MD"

Old, leaky, or sagging gutters can’t move water away from your roof and foundation. If you see rust, cracks, frequent clogs, or water spilling over the edges, it’s time to replace the system. A fresh set of gutters restores proper drainage, protects siding and landscaping, and helps you avoid far more costly roof or foundation repairs. In short, new gutters are a small investment compared with the damage a failed system can cause.
The best material for gutter replacement depends on your specific circumstances and budget. Climate can affect the ideal material choice. For example, aluminum gutters are an affordable and versatile option that suits many climates, but galvanized steel is best suited if your home is subject to high winds or extreme weather conditions.
Most new gutter systems carry two warranties: a manufacturer's warranty that covers the material and a contractor's warranty that covers installation workmanship. Terms vary, so ask each professional how long their warranty lasts and exactly what it covers, such as leaks, rust, or labor. Confirm that any seamless or specialty gutters include the same protection. Understanding both warranties before work begins ensures you know who will fix future issues and for how long.
Gutters last between 20 and 50 years when installed and maintained with precision. The lifespan of gutters is determined by the quality of materials and the care taken during installation. Regular cleaning and consistent maintenance ensure that your gutter system operates efficiently for decades. This careful upkeep protects your home from water damage by maintaining clear and effective drainage.
If your gutters collect leaves or pine needles, guards are a smart add-on. By blocking debris, they reduce cleanings, prevent clogs that cause overflow, and help the system last longer. Upfront cost varies by guard type, but many homeowners recoup that expense through fewer service calls and less ladder time. Ask your installer which style works best for your local foliage and climate.
Plan to clean and inspect your gutters at least twice a year—typically in spring and fall. If you’re surrounded by tall trees or live in a storm-prone area, check them more often. Regular maintenance keeps water flowing, prevents sagging, and helps spot minor issues before they turn into big repairs. For added safety or convenience, schedule a professional service to handle high ladders and debris disposal.
