Employee Spotlight – Tom Lawler

In the midst of autumn and with leaves starting to change color and fall, many homeowners think about cleaning out their gutters. What a chore! A few of you, or maybe many of you, are putting it off, avoiding seasonal gutter cleaning due to the mess, hassle, and danger of climbing up a ladder. But clogged gutters can cause serious and costly issues. Gutter cleaning is required to maintain your home’s protection from overflowing gutters, rotting wood, and water pooling around your landscaping, or worse, water getting into your basement. Eliminate gutter cleaning forever with Gutter Topper! Gutter Topper, installed by Callen experts, is a protective cover for your gutters that lets water flow freely, while keeping clogging debris out!

Gutter Topper features 11 critical bends that are strategically placed curves that allow water to grip onto the front edge of the gutter topper and flow through into your gutter while leaving clogging debris out. Proper water flow is a crucial element of a functioning gutter system on a home. Open gutter systems can clog easily when large debris and branches fall into them, especially if the gutters aren’t cleaned out regularly.

A recent Callen customer is already seeing the benefits of Gutter Topper. “I moved into a home on a very wooded lot, but I thought I would be the only person in the world that wouldn’t need a gutter protection system, but I was wrong about that,” said Bob Madden, morning show co-host on 102.9-FM The Hog. “While Callen’s reputation preceded them, the company did an exterior remodeling project on my girlfriend’s parent house and they loved working with the Callen staff and crew.”

The Gutter Topper installation was completed in mid-September and with the rain and windy conditions experienced

in the latter part of the month, Bob was already seeing the benefits of Gutter Topper. “When the leaves started to come down due to the wind and rain, it was great to see that they weren’t going into the gutters, but rather falling onto the ground,” he said.

Step off the ladder and know that Gutter Topper is backed with a Lifetime Guarantee, if your gutters clog Callen will investigate the reason behind the clog and clear it for you. Installed by Callen experts, you also get the assurance that you will be covered by Callen’s lifetime installation guarantee.

With all of the impressive benefits to be gained, an array of colors to choose from to ensure the perfect match, and with the convenient option to install the system over your existing gutters available, you can be fully confident in your decision to trust Gutter Topper to protect your home.
