Castillo’s Gutters & Aluminum
Castillo’s Approach
Our Approach to Home and Building Services
Our Service Protect the Building Enclosure from Water Penetration
Castillo’s Approach is to provide the most cost-effective gutter services, home and building services to maintain the building enclosure and put a barrier between the living space and the outside environment.
Principles of Enclosure Design
The requirements for a superior barrier to separate the living space from the outside environment were outlined half a century ago and remain applicable to all enclosure systems and components. The following are the key factors identified to control the environmental impact on the building enclosure that protects the living space within the building structure:
- Strength and rigidity
- Control of heat flow
- Control of airflow
- Control of water vapor flow
- Control of liquid water movement
- Stability and durability of materials
- Barrier to insects and pests
- Fire
- Aesthetic considerations
- Cost
Castillo’s craftsmanship, best construction practices, and quality materials are used to service the building enclosure. Castillo’s goal is to protect the internal living space from the outside elements of the climate. In modern building science, Castillo’s services consider the above factors while implementing all our building service solutions that keep the Building Enclosure functional.
At Castillo’s Gutters and Aluminum, our four primary services (Roof Gutter services, Soffit and Fascia Services, Ground Drainage Service, and Screen Enclosure) are focused on achieving building enclosure coherence of a stable and safe living space.
Castillo’s Building Construction Services
Castillo's Roof Gutter Services
Our Roof Gutter Services ensure the gutter system functions correctly by channeling rainwater from the roof and removing water from the building enclosure. Our roof gutter services include design, installation, repair, inspection, and cleaning. Our completed Roof Gutter Services will ensure:
- Strength and Rigidity of the Soffit & Fascia
- Stable gutter attachment
- Aluminum gutters are durable
- Air flow through the Soffit to the attic vents
- Water flows through the gutter to the downspouts
- Water is directed away from the building
- Minimal water in the gutters, gutters are pitched to downspouts according to building code
Castillo's Soffit & Facia Services
Soffit & Fascia Services ensure the fascia back board is not rotten wood and the fascia trim is intact and protecting the roof’s vertical edge. We check to ensure the Soffit is in place properly, prevent pests from entering, free from mold and can ventilate to the attic via the tiny soffit holes. Our complete Soffit & Fascia Service may be part of our Seamless Aluminum Gutter Services if the fascia is damaged and/or is not a stable foundation to attach the gutters, or is not waterproof, or water has already penetrated the roof-line edge.
Our completed Soffit & Fascia Services will ensure the:
- Strength and Rigidity of the roof-line and roof edge
- Stable foundation for gutter attachment
- Aluminum Soffit & Fascia trim is durable and will protect the wood beneath
- Air flow through the Soffit to the attic vents to allow moisture to be removed
- Water flows off the drip edge to inside the gutter
- Soffits will prevent pests from entering the attic or under the roof line
- Roof-line & edge is free of mold
Castillo's Underground Drainage Services
Our Underground Drainage Service usually pipes the gutter rainwater away from the building or through a French Drain to remove ground water from flooded areas or landscape areas that pool water due to rain or irrigation sprinklers. The objective of our Underground Drainage Services is to transport water away from the source of pooling or flooding, as well as away from the building.
Our completed Underground Drainage Services will ensure:
- Rainwater from the gutter downspouts is removed away from the building via underground pipes
- Water is transported away from low areas around the building or landscape areas that flood
- No standing ground water will be present to breeding mosquitoes
- French Drains function to remove water from the surrounding landscape
- Reduce the water vapor or humidity in the air due to wet lands or standing water
Screen Enclosure Services
Our Screen Enclosure Services provides the revitalization, screen repair and re-screening. Our screen enclosure service is designed for front entrances, porches, patios, lanais, and pool enclosures. It includes power washing that will not harm the aluminum-painted surface, re-screening, and screw replacement. The Screen Enclosure protects the outside living space from insect and pests and prevents debris from collecting inside.
Our completed Screen Enclosure Services will ensure:
- Gutters are functional when the screen enclosure is attached at the roof line
