About C. David Chase

30 Years on the Ladder, Now Sharing the View.

Hi, I’m David.

For over three decades, I owned and operated a contracting business. I’ve spent more hours than I can count on rooftops, hanging gutters in the Tennessee humidity, and fixing the “quick fixes” that eventually failed. I’ve seen firsthand how a $10 gutter problem can turn into a $10,000 foundation nightmare.

When I retired, I realized that while the pros know the secrets to a perfect pitch and a leak-proof seal, the average homeowner is often left guessing—or worse, buying products that don’t actually work.

Why I Started Guttering.com

I created the Triple Crown of guttering resources (guttering.com, .net, and .org) to bridge the gap between “DIY” and “Professional Grade.”

My goal is simple: To give you the honest, unfiltered truth about home drainage. On this site, you won’t find “fluff” or fake reviews. You’ll find:

• Contractor-Tested Reviews: I only recommend gutter guards and tools I’d actually use on a client’s home.
• Real DIY Guides: Step-by-step instructions that include the “pro-tips” the manuals leave out.
• Foundation Protection: Advice focused on the why—keeping your home dry and your investment safe.

Beyond the Gutters

When I’m not talking about water diversion, you’ll find me tinkering with my VISTA-20P home security setup (another DIY passion of mine) or hanging out with my grandsons.

I’m a “Mac-only” guy who loves a good technical challenge, whether it’s modernizing an analog security panel or building a digital resource for homeowners like you.
