All Pro Gutter Guards — Trusted Since 2001
Gutter Experts Serving Ambler, PA
Ambler is a small Montgomery County borough of roughly 6,847 residents and about 2,864 housing units, according to Census figures, sitting about 16 miles north of Center City Philadelphia. Most of its homes were built long before modern gutter sizing was standard, and the NOAA station just 2 km away at Fort Washington records close to 49 inches of precipitation a year. All Pro Gutter Guards works Ambler from our Willow Grove office, about 9 miles and 16 minutes away by road, with free estimates on guards, seamless gutters, repairs and cleaning.
Ambler's Pre-1940 Homes, from Butler Pike to Tennis Avenue
Census estimates put Ambler's median home construction year at 1954, with about 65 percent of housing built before 1960 and roughly 35 percent before 1940. That older third overlaps with the borough's mill and Keasbey and Mattison years, when hundreds of worker and manager houses went up around the Butler Pike and Bethlehem Pike crossroads and along streets like Tennis Avenue and Mt. Pleasant Avenue. Houses of that age usually carry wood fascia that has been painted many times, plus sectional or half-round gutter runs with joints that eventually separate. We repair what is sound, replace hangers, and form seamless aluminum gutters on site so a long run has no mid-span seams to open up again. Only about 10 percent of Ambler homes date from 2000 or later.
49 Inches of Rain a Year in the Wissahickon Creek Watershed
The NOAA weather station at Fort Washington, about 2 km from Ambler, records roughly 49 inches of precipitation a year in its 1991-2020 normals. Ambler grew up on water power along the Wissahickon Creek and the small run near the old tannery, and that same drainage still moves through yards and basements during heavy storms. Rain that volume is a downspout question more than a gutter question: too few outlets, or 2 by 3 inch downspouts on a wide roof, and water backs up over the front lip in the worst part of a downpour. We check outlet count and size, add downspouts where a run is overloaded, and fit our All Pro micro-mesh guard so debris does not choke the outlet you are relying on.
92 Freezing Nights Nearby, and How We Cover Ambler from Willow Grove
The NOAA station at Willow Grove NAS, about 8 km from the borough, records roughly 92 days a year at or below freezing. That pattern of thaw by day and refreeze at night is what builds ice at the eaves on older Ambler roofs, and it is why a guard has to hold snow and ice without collapsing into the trough. Our micro-mesh guard is installed over a gutter we have checked for pitch and secure hangers first, and gutter cleaning is often the first job we do on an Ambler home before guards go on. All Pro Gutter Guards is licensed in Pennsylvania, license PA052821, and our Willow Grove office at 2220 Maplewood Ave is about a 16 minute drive. We are open 24/7 at (267) 619-8991, and estimates are free.

Ambler Gutter Questions
Which parts of Ambler Borough do you cover?
All of the borough, including the older blocks in west and south Ambler, the streets around the Butler Pike and Bethlehem Pike crossroads, and homes along Mt. Pleasant Avenue and Tennis Avenue. We drive Ambler from our Willow Grove office at 2220 Maplewood Ave, roughly 9 miles and about 16 minutes away, so a free estimate visit is a short trip for us.
Does Ambler's rainfall mean I need bigger gutters or just guards?
It can mean both. With about 49 inches of precipitation a year at the Fort Washington NOAA station 2 km from town, the weak point on many Ambler homes is outlet capacity rather than the gutter itself. We look at how many downspouts serve each roof plane and how wide they are, then recommend added or larger downspouts along with micro-mesh guards where that is what the roof calls for.
My Ambler house dates from the Keasbey and Mattison years. Can guards go on gutters that old?
Often yes, but the fascia and hangers decide it. With about 35 percent of Ambler housing built before 1940 per Census estimates, we frequently find soft fascia, loose spikes, or sectional runs with leaking joints. We repair or replace those first, or form new seamless gutters on site, then install the All Pro micro-mesh guard on a straight, well pitched trough.

From start to finish, this was a slam dunk. Rose at the office answered and scheduled an estimate on Thursday. Jason showed up for the estimate on Friday and we signed the contract. By Noon on Saturday (today) it was done by Nick. Nick is a friggin' ROCKSTAR!!!!!!!!

Where I live is very open and extremely windy which is what caused my issue. The wind knocked down a large section of my gutter system. They were able to come out and make a quick assessment of the situation and even recommend gutter guards in a certain area were trees were cluttering my gutters. They were able to get out Quick within a day or two after the estimate, the job was done in an hour, and everything looked great. I would recommend these guys to anybody that has any issues with gutters!

I recently had my gutters cleaned by All Pro Gutters Guards, and the crew did an excellent job. They were thorough, professional, and left my property spotless.

Snow took out my 40’ gutter. I called All Pro and they came out on a Friday afternoon and gave me an estimate. They replaced my facia, wrapped it to prevent rot, made the gutter on site and put it up and hauled away all the old materials… by noon the next day. Less than 24hrs from estimate to job complete. Looks great. Professional installer. Highly recommend.

APGG installed gutter guards on our home. The technician was on time, neat and quick. The product will not void our roof warranty. Very happy with this experience. The gutter guards look great and will be a huge benefit with fall upon us.
