Designed for Sun, Storms, & Steep Rooflines in Manitou Springs, CO

Manitou Springs is a beautiful place to live, but it asks a lot of your home's exterior. The terrain is uneven, the trees are tall, and the weather has a habit of changing faster than you can plan for. What works fine on a flat suburban street simply doesn't cut it here, and homeowners in this area know it.

Around The House Home Solutions has spent more than 20 years working across Southern Colorado, which means we've seen firsthand how these conditions affect gutters, rooflines, and outdoor spaces over time. We know the neighborhoods, we know the weather patterns, and we know what it takes to build solutions that actually hold up where you live.

Not Your Average Gutter System

Anyone who has cleaned out a gutter knows it's not a one-time fix. The combination of heavy tree cover, sloped terrain, and unpredictable weather means debris builds up quickly and water has little patience for an obstructed path. Left unchecked, that overflow can seep into your foundation, landscaping, and siding, resulting in costly repairs.

We take a whole-system approach rather than just dropping a guard on top of whatever’s already there. Our lineup includes Gutter Helmet gutter guards, seamless gutters, and Helmet Heat, and we’ll help you determine which combination makes sense for your home.

Gutter Helmet works through surface tension rather than filtration. Water follows the curve of the guard and flows into the gutter, while leaves and pine needles slide off the edge. And for homes that deal with harsh winters, Helmet Heat adds a layer of coverage along the roof edge and gutter line to keep meltwater moving during freeze-thaw cycles. Together, these products give your home reliable year-round protection without the constant upkeep.

Shade That Makes Your Patio Worth Using

The sun in Manitou Springs is one of its best features, right up until it makes your backyard too hot to enjoy. Good shading doesn't just cool things down. It extends the number of hours you're comfortable spending outside and makes your deck or patio feel like a real part of your home.

As the exclusive regional dealer for premium shading systems, we offer options you won't find at a home improvement store. Each product is built for flexibility, and we’ll help you find the right fit for your home, sun exposure, and intended use:

• Retractable Awnings: Pull them out when the sun is high and retract them when you want open sky. These come with durable frames and a lifetime frame-and-arm warranty.

• Patio Screens: A low-profile way to reduce glare, block wind, and keep insects out without sacrificing the view you moved here for.

• Motorized Pergolas: Ideal for larger settings, these offer adjustable overhead coverage with a more permanent, architectural look and feel.

Every installation includes a one-year maintenance plan, so support doesn't end when our crew leaves. If you've been putting off making changes to your outdoor environment, this is a good place to start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do gutter guards actually work with pine needles?

Yes, but the design matters more than most people realize. Gutter Helmet uses a surface-tension design that lets debris slide off the edge rather than collect on top, which is why it holds up better in heavily wooded neighborhoods like those throughout Manitou Springs.

Should I consider a heat cable at this elevation?

It may be worth it. Freeze-thaw cycles are common in this area, and ice buildup along the roofline can cause significant damage if meltwater refreezes before it has a chance to drain.

How long does installation take?

Most projects are completed within one to two weeks from the time you schedule, depending on the scope of work. We’ll give you a more accurate timeline during your estimate.

What if I want to address gutters and shading simultaneously?

That’s actually a popular choice. Handling both at once means one visit and one less scheduling headache. It also gives you a chance to think through your full exterior in one conversation rather than piecing it together over time.
